StoneFaruq’s Twitter Updates to 2010-08-27
August 27th, 2010Video: My First Fast
August 26th, 2010A nice little animated story about a boy’s first fast. Done in a really simple style, but it works very well masha’Allah.
The animation was produced by HalfDate.com as part of the Children’s Ramadan Fasting Campaign.
News: New releases for 2010!
August 19th, 2010Asalaamu’alaikum warahmat’ullah
Apologies for the lack of updates, and a belated Ramadhan Mubarak to you all. May Allah accept all our deeds in this special month.
A few things to go though, starting with…
My Mummy’s Tummy is now available to buy. More details here, and buy a copy from the SeerahStore right here.
The SeerahStore should be a little more user-friendly now, allowing you to pay for items without needing a PayPal account, and we hope to implement Google Checkout support soon too insha’Allah, so there are as many options available for you as possible.
Also, the best way to buy our books right now is through Islamic Relief’s Pakistan Flood Appeal Shop, where you can buy a set of all 5 StoneFaruq books, plus A Day with the Dinosaurs, and the Encyclopaedia of Seerah for Children for just £21.73 including postage. That’s £5 of the retail price, and best of all, 100% of that money will go to Islamic Relief’s Pakistan Flood Emergency Appeal, to help those desperately in need.
Our next book, titled ‘One’, is being printed as I type this insha’Allah, and should be available from November 2010 insha’Allah. You can see the cover for the book above, but I have also made that design into a desktop wallpaper. You can see some different sized versions for download, and for your use, right here:

Other books are progressing, and we’re still hoping to double our previous annual new book output, and release 4 books this year insha’Allah. So we hope there will be more to come insha’Allah. Please make du’ah for us.
Wassalaamu’alaikum Warahmat’ullah

Progress Update: 2010
March 7th, 2010Asalaamu’alaikum warahmat’ullah
Here’s a rundown of the current books we plan to release in 2010 insha’Allah, from StoneFaruq, and the Seerah Foundation.
Muhammad - Encyclopaedia of Seerah
Currently, almost half of the 8 volumes of the encyclopaedia are out of print, or very low in stock. Insha’Allah, we hope to be able to print the missing volumes this year, so that we will have at least 200 full sets in stock. More news on this once they have gone to print insha’Allah.
StoneFaruq - Books for Children
Our four children’s books are still available, now distributed worldwide by Kube Publishing Ltd., and insha’Allah, we hope to have four more in print this year.
The four titles are: My Mummy’s Fat Tummy, about the arrival of a new baby in the family, from a young girl’s point of view (an early mockup of the cover can be seen above). One, is another ‘collage style’ illustrated book, all about Tawhid. Insha’Allah We’ll Get There, is a rhyming story about journeying to Makkah for Hajj. Lastly, Auntie Eemaan’s Eid Party, which is fairly self explanatory.
More on all of these books, and others, in the near future. Please make du’ah for us insha’Allah, so we achieve that which we set out to do, in Allah’s cause.
Wassalaamu’alaikum Warahmat’ullah

The future of books?
March 6th, 2010Assalaamu’alaikum Warahmat’ullah
There are interesting developments going on in digital media all the time, but right now, books and magazines moving into the digital space is a great area of interest.
With the upcoming launch of Apple’s iPad, there finally looks like there will be a viable platform for consuming content like this is a new and accessible way. Below is a video of a Penguin Books presentation, featuring demos of some books they will be launching on Apple’s new device.
Some interesting ideas, but I think still quite limited compared to what could potentially be possible on this platform. So, what would you like to see on the ipad? Interactive children’s books? or, something new and completely different?
Let us know insha’Allah. Wassalaamu’alaikum Warahmat’ullah
