Why would an intelligent middle class Indonesian
Muslim woman buy a glossy fashion magazine,
A letter to the editor of the stylish NooR magazine
gives one woman’s reasons. In the October
issue of 2010
Triya Cahya Puspita contacted NooR from
Bali to say that
with Allah’s guidance she had recently begun to wear
a head scarf, or jilbab. Since then, she explained
she began to change in other ways – in her thinking
in what she did, and in what she purchased.
She found many women’s magazines
‘vulgar’ and could not find one which was
Islamic. Then in a bookshop near her
home she came across NooR.

NooR answered her needs.
The language, she said, was
easy to understand and did not
lecture readers. She found information
which increased her devotion to Islam
and strengthened her determination to
be pious. Living in Bali where Muslims are
in a minority, she found NooR’s guidance
very helpful. As a bonus, she added
 the diverse range of types and styles
of jilbab showed her how to cover
her hair elegantly and in the latest fashion.
