PRINCETON, N.J. (RNS) — Muslim culture features many prominent achievements in architecture, literature, and science. Yet awareness of these accomplishments is low, according to a group of Princeton University students.

To highlight them, 12 students have created a magazine called Misbah – “lamp” in Arabic – to illuminate the study of the Muslim world and Islam.

“The reason why we even started (Misbah) is that we kind of wanted a venue for people to debate issues affecting everyone, basically, since a fifth of the world is Muslim,” said Joy Karugu, Misbah’s executive editor.

Karugu said Misbah has already attracted the attention of Muslim publications at other universities, including Harvard, MIT and Dartmouth.
