Speaking about the features, he said, "Articles in 'Muallim' will be based on Islamic theology and Muslim contemporary affairs."
Appreciating the concept, Hazrat Rabey Hasan Nadawi, President All Indian Muslim Personal Law board, said, "The time is apt for Muallim to hit the market as there is dearth of such literature which focuses on Islamic upbringing and on contemporary issues."
