News: New releases for 2010!

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Asalaamu’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.

My Mummys Tummy

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.

One

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.

News: Distribution deal with Kube Publishing

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Assalaamu’alaikum Warahmat’ullah

Some news regarding our new book distribution deal, with the well known Islamic organisation, Kube Publishing.

Kube Publishing is the distributor for all Islamic Foundation publications, and their books are widely available in Islamic Bookshops the world over. Now, insha’Allah, all books from StoneFaruq, as well as the Seerah Foundation books, ‘A Day with the Dinosaurs’, and ‘Muhammad: Encyclopaedia of Seerah for Children’, will be distributed, and marketed by Kube Publishing.

Currently our books (Time for Isha’a and The Jolly Jamaat), are only available in a few Islamic bookshops, mainly in London, with little or no international presence. Also, our online shop, SeerahStore.com, is still offline, and the launch has been delayed. Making our books hard to find for most people. So insha’Allah, this deal with Kube Publishing will enable many more to have access to our books, and many more children will benefit insha’Allah.

Finally, our forthcoming books (Time to Pray and Allah lets us have fun) will be available later this summer insha’Allah, and will also be distributed by Kube Publishing. Look out for our Books for Children. Coming soon, insha’Allah, to an Islamic Bookshop near you.

Assalaamu’alaikum Warahmat’ullah

Now I have some kind of internet connection at home, I’ve been trawling the web, attempting to spread the word about StoneFaruq and our books insha’Allah.

 
I’ve set up a ‘Lens‘ at squidoo.com

Books-for-Children-from-StoneFaruq

 

There’s a ‘group’ for us  on facebook

Books for Children on facebook

 

Finally, we’re on Muxlim.com too (that’s not a typo btw)

my.muxlim.com/stonefaruq

 
Can anyone make any suggestions as to where else I should go? Forums where they may be interested, or other popular sites that may attract more interest in these books insha’Allah.

Answers on a postcard (or just in the comments section below).
