It is a great honour and pleasure for The Soul Journal team to publish our second edition of the magazine. 

The theme of this edition is ‘Community Togetherness’.

Having a sense of community strengthens a person's spirit, character, image and pride and it is a vital element of a healthy community especially during these uncertain times of lockdown. It is a feeling that displays that people within the community matter to one another with a shared faith that their needs will be met through commitment and togetherness.

Being part of an engaging community gives us a sense of belonging. It enables us to share personal relatedness and support the perpetual growth of each other, ourselves and our environment.

Communities bring like-minded people together with similar characteristics and common interests. Every community operates with specific boundaries to meet the needs of that community. Hence we have tried our best to cover the aspects of self-love, self-care, being productive during the pandemic, mental health and depression in this issue. 

Furthermore, in this issue, we have introduced a new section titled 'Creative Hands'. The section is aimed at women and has been created as a platform where women can share and discuss activities to do in their free time. We're excited to unveil the section and we're certain it is full of ideas all the ladies will enjoy! 

Inshallah, in future issues, we expect more new changes and further involvement from brothers and sisters throughout

The launch of a new journal is dedicated to the community that has been long overdue. Therefore, we hope this little attempt of spreading knowledge will help us build a better future for the future generation. 

Jazakallah khairan
