Payam-e-Hajar (Persian: پیام هاجر, romanized: payām-i Hājar, lit.
'The Message of Hagar') was an Iranian nationalist-religious periodical publication in magazine-format that focused on current sociopolitical affairs of Iran.
Founded by Azam Taleghani in 1979, it was considered a forum for reform-minded Muslims[1] and was banned in April 2000.
[1] Jaleh Taheri argues that the magazine "provides a dynamic reinterpretation of Qur'anic verses".
[4] She exemplifies this notion with an essay named The Necessity for the Reform of Laws Concerning Divorce, Polygyny, and Child Custody (1992), in which the author opposes legalization of polygyny in Iran, on the grounds that verse 3 of An-Nisa should be understood as constraining polygyny only to specific cases and for the sake of social needs, which are non-existent in contemporary period.
