About Rightstance
No one will speak for us.
We have our own voice
What began as a centre-right political blog has evolved into something far deeper and more profound. Rightstance is no longer about taking sides within a man-made spectrum, it’s about taking the right stance in the truest sense: one rooted in Islam.
We believe that Muslims deserve more than borrowed ideologies or reactive politics. Our aim is to empower Muslims to reclaim agency by shaping a distinct political identity — one that neither leans right nor left, but rises above both. Guided by Islamic principles, we challenge false binaries and refuse to dilute our convictions for fleeting cultural approval.
Rightstance is a platform for unapologetically principled thought, where truth is anchored in the Qur’an and Sunnah - not secular or party lines.

🗣️ “Often, Muslims have the enthusiasm to mobilise politically against the evident injustice we face, yet are unsure how to go about doing so. As such, I hope my role at Rightstance contributes to facilitating Muslims realising their civic duties.”
👋 Meet Musab,

🏙️ BSc Architecture at UCL
📁 Musab creates all the visuals you see on the website: from the logo, to the article thumbnails, and he also is the producer for the Rightstance podcast.
🗣️ “For Muslims to be politically informed, they should be visually engaged with the media they consume.”
