Al-Ziya (Arabic: الضياء) was the first monthly Arabic magazine published by Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama in May 1932 under the editorship of Masud Alam Nadwi, with advisorship from Sulaiman Nadvi and Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali, and with Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi as part of the editorial team. It was printed using lithography and released mid-month according to the Islamic calendar, focusing on literary, educational, and social topics.[1] Despite being the only Arabic magazine in India at the time and receiving widespread acclaim for developing intellectual discourse in Arab and Islamic circles, it ceased publication after four years due to financial constraints. Its legacy, however, influenced the emergence of other Arabic magazines, with Al-Baas El-Islami regarded as its successor.[2]
