The magazine focuses on developing linguistic and literary skills among students and is considered the successor to Al-Ziya, the institution's first Arabic magazine. Historically, it has promoted Pan-Islamism, critiqued Arab nationalism and Orientalism, and aimed to make Indian Urdu Islamic scholarship accessible in Arabic.

It was printed using lithography and released mid-month according to the Islamic calendar, focusing on literary, educational, and social topics. Despite being the only Arabic magazine in India at the time and receiving widespread acclaim for developing intellectual discourse in Arab and Islamic circles, it ceased publication after four years due to financial constraints. Its legacy, however, influenced the emergence of other Arabic magazines, with Al-Baas El-Islami regarded as its successor.
Al-Nadwa was the first Urdu magazine launched by Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama in the early 20th century. It was published in three phases: 1904–1912, 1912–1916, and 1940–1942, totaling approximately 14 years. The first phase, under the editorship of Shibli Nomani, is often considered the magazine's Golden Era. Figures such as Abul Kalam Azad, Sulaiman Nadvi, and Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi also participated in its editorial activities. The magazine closely aligned with the goals of Nadwatul Ulama, focusing on educational reform, intellectual engagement, and the integration of traditional and modern Islamic thought. Its content addressed issues like curriculum reform, the renewal of Islamic sciences, and responses to Orientalist critiques. Known for its innovative style and presentation, it made a lasting impact on Urdu and Islamic journalism and is considered the precursor to Tameer-e Hayat.
