Let customers speak for us
A'uudhubillaahi mina-sh shaytaani-r rajeem, Bismillaahi-r Rahmaani-r Raheem.
Alhamdulillahi Rabbil 'Alameen, Wa-ssalatu was-salamu 'alaSayyidinaa Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa Sahbihi ajma’een.
First and foremost, “So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.” (Quran 2:152).
Alhamdulillah, Allah helped me find you guys, in this blessed month of Ramadan. I received my order really fast, considering i live in eastern Europe. The Quran is a tiny bit creased because of the transit, but it's not your fault, and I do not blame you, this things happen when shipping abroad, and Alhamdulillah it wasn't badly damaged.
May Allah bless your hard work, and increase in your reward in this life and in the Akhira.
“The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Whoever does not thank people has not thanked Allah.'” (Sunan Abi Dawud 4811).
And jazakallahu khair for the additional beautiful book mark.
Barakallahu Feekum.

I’m a new revert & Im so happy I received this Quran. Definitely recommend getting it and getting it from The Islamic Book Cafe. The quality of the Quran, packaging and shipping was excellent. Masha’Allah. Thank you !
Alhamdulillah, this is such an amazing website. I think it has books for your different needs in Islamic growth and development. I recently purchased this book as I always like to ensure that my acts of worship are being done according to Qur'an and Sunnah and that it is being done to the best of my ability. I am excited to start reading this book in sha Allah as this should be very interesting to see what else I can implement in my prayer and what I can improve on. May Allah allow me to retain all that I learn and apply it to my daily prayer Ameen
Al-Quran Al-Karim The Noble Quran Word-by-Word Translation & Color Coded Tajweed Large A4
Their service is great and the books come in undamaged it’s amazing
Beautiful book
I do not typically take from Ibn Uthaymeen but he is on point in his views of tawheed al Asma wa Sifat like previous books from our shuyookh reading with a commentary is better than reading the original as it could be confusing to new learners esp those without knowledge in Arabic. Must have for every Muslim as today many ppl hold jahmi aqeedah and some ghulat go into extremes by making takfir of every single laymen that may hold misguided jahmi/ashari views,sheikh ibn taymiyyah RH presents the balanced view of ahlus sunnah
With all the fitnah going around today this is a must read for those in search of the true aqeedah of the salaf and our prophets (alayhi salam) good for those who prefer books over lectures, straightforward, and overall better to read this than the original from sheikh MIAW without the commentary as it could be vague for beginners and possibly lead to extremism for those who read it without a supplement
I was kinda suspicious of this website at first because the prices were so cheap but it came really early and the book is great. Would definitely recommend
Alhamdulillah, I absolutely love this book. The fact that it was written by American sisters, it makes me feel connected to the Quran in a way that I can read it all day JazakAllah Khair <3
I ordered around 15 book for my kids, age ranged between 2 to 7 years n its just so perfect. It offered book for all range and delivered within time.
Alhamdulillah the quality and content of this book is very good every Muslim man and woman can take from this book an example of what it means to be a follower of Islam and dealing with hardships regarding your deen. I know this isn’t the sellers fault but Sumayyah RA the first martyr of Islam,definitely deserved a place in this book so I’m kinda disappointed she didn’t make it ☹️💔
Alhamdulilah the store owners carefully pick out the books instead of having a chance of selling a book by a deviant or someone that is misguided, definitly get this book if you are reviewing your aqeedah and want to seperate yourself from misguidance
