			Although the Muslim Sahitya-Samaj carried on its activities for ten years its journal could not be published for more than five issues, primarily because of departure of Abul Husain from Dhaka in March 1932. Whoever may have been editing it, the overall responsibility of its publication rested with him. Syed Imamul Husain who published all but the first issue was his younger brother. Abul Husain was also the founder of the Modern Library that published the journal. He used to bear a major share of the cost of the journal. Although ''Shikha'' was the mouthpiece of the Muslim Sahitya-Samaj, Abul Husain was its main mentor and promoter. [Khondkar Sirajul Haque]
