Rather Quiet was born as a pet project of three cousins who were frustrated with the lack of visibility of good literature and art from young Muslims This whole realm of literature and art from young Muslims — well it’s rather quiet, isn’t it? The young Muslims that make art and literature — they too are rather quiet. And so the magazine was born: giving a show case to the rather quiet. There is an increasing number of young, creative Muslims that are gravitating towards ‘western’ influences; simply because that side has a lot more to offer when it comes to art and literature — in this era. We, at Rather Quiet, aim to stay true to the roots of Islamic tradition and thought. Rather Quiet is where the rather quiet unravel what their silence really means.
