Thelicham

Thelicham (തെളിച്ചം, meaning "light" or "illumination") is a Malayalam-language Islamic intellectual monthly magazine and webzine published from Malappuram district in Kerala, India. It was launched on 1 October 1998 under the academic auspices of Darul Huda Islamic University in Chemmad, Kerala, and is described by its publisher as the first campus journal from Kerala. The publication was founded to serve an intellectual need that few Malayalam publications had addressed, giving voice to Islamic scholarly discourse in a language and form accessible to the broader reading public. Over nearly three decades, Thelicham has published research on Islamic jurisprudence, theology, philosophy, history, literature, politics, and contemporary social questions. Its pages have carried the voices of scholars, researchers, poets, and public intellectuals, forming a continuous record of serious Muslim thought in Kerala. The magazine's main subject areas include religion, society, culture, history, science, organisation, current affairs, family, education, politics, literature, and international affairs. The students of Darul Huda Islamic University form the backbone of the magazine's editorial and production work, and Dr. Bahauddin Muhammad Nadwi is its chief editor. Thelicham has evolved into a webzine, carrying the same editorial discipline and depth into the digital age, with its archive now accessible to readers worldwide. The platform publishes research articles, in-depth interviews, and literary works that cultivate a culture of careful reading and critical thinking, serving students, scholars, and the broader Malayalam-speaking public in print and digitally. Its stated vision is to establish Malayalam as a serious language of Islamic intellectual discourse, engaging philosophy, science, literature, and social thought with scholarly rigour and cultural authenticity, and to produce a publication that scholars read and students aspire to contribute to.
