The Crescent (newspaper)

The first edition was published on 14 January 1893 from 32 Elizabeth Street,[3] Liverpool, shortly before moving to Brougham Terrace.

A statement in The Crescent to its advertisers in 1908[4] declared that "in addition to the thousands of copies in circulation within the British Isles, in addition to which thousands of copies of the Paper are sent regularly abroad to subscribers in France, Spain, Switzerland, Constantinople, Smyrna, Syria, Turkey in Asia, Russia, Morocco, Tunis, Algeria, Malta, Egypt, Persia, Beluchistan, Ceylon, Arabia, the Cape Colony, the Transvaal, Zanzibar, Lagos, Gambia, Sierra Leone, the west Coast of Africa, Afghanistan, Penang, Singapore, China, British Guiana, Trinidad, Canada, the United States of America, and many parts of India, this forming a capital advertising medium".

After outgrowing the Muslim prayer hall established by Quilliam in Mount Vernon, Liverpool, in 1888 he rented 8 Brougham Terrace[6][7] and also acquired the neighbouring properties, numbers 10 and 12 in 1889, and in the basement a printing press was established to produce the monthly editions of The Islamic World,[8] which was subscribed to globally.

Such names as Yahya McQuinn, T. Omar Byrne, Fatima Cates, Yahya Nasser Parkinson, Nasrullah Warren, J. Bokhari Jeffery, and Omar Roberts appear regularly in the editorial, but the wider community would include Lord Stanley of Alderley, Hasan El-Arculli a Muslim G.P.

A 12-page tabloid format was launched in 2003 but failed due to the overheads of printing and distributing a community-based paper The Crescent was relaunched in 1444 AH (August 2022) as an on-line newspaper.
