Now that Izzy Mo has decided to quit blogging (and delete her entire archive), I’ve decided that it’s no longer worth maintaining an A-list of Muslim blogs, particularly since most of those remaining on it are not as like-minded with me as some of those who were on it this time last year appeared to be. So, those who were on it have been relocated to the brothers section (as no female bloggers remained), except for Engage and Muslim Matters, which are in the groups section.

Salam alaikum,
What was your criteria for including a blog in the A-List? Have standards slipped so much that no other is worthy of special note?
In truth, I think it’s quite wise to drop the category. When I reflected on the praise heaped on a blogger and their sudden departure, I wrote this wee ode:

As-Salaamu ‘alaikum,
My standards for inclusion was that the blogger was of a high profile in the community, or that it was particularly prominent, that it struck a particular chord with me and was regularly updated. I didn’t find that the blogs that remained matched all of those criteria, so I removed the whole category. I might find some way of marking some blogs’ names in bold, but right now, I’ll just leave them where they are.
Salam,
Dear Indigo, for my part at least, glad you did so…. Hope I can get back to blogging more regularly, but waiting for the inspiration.
Wa s-salam, Yahya
What makes Izzy Mo high profile in her community? I’m just wondering. I know very little about her.

السلام عليكم يا عبد السلمم الهندي
I thought Izzy Mo was A-list because she was a regular blogger who was prominent in the early generation of Muslim bloggers and who posted regularly. She was one of my favourite bloggers.
Oh my, I was just reading her blog the other day! I hope she starts an art website or art blog or something. I really loved reading her Muslim perspective on the art world, and I hope (if she’s reading) she’ll consider a (possibly group?) art blog.
She has an art website - and indeed has had for a long time - still going strong, alhamdulilah. Here it is:
