Al-Hilal was an Urdu weekly newspaper launched by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad in 1912. It served as a significant medium for criticizing British imperial policies and advocating for Hindu-Muslim unity, which were crucial themes in the Indian national movement. The British government viewed its content as seditious and subsequently suppressed the publication under the Press Act of 1914.
