New books and New ways to Buy

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Asalaamu’Alaikum

Long time with no Blog update, but lots of things have been happening.

Firstly, our second and third books are now in print, and in the shops insha’Allah. These are:

Time to Pray, our first boardbook, in a new art style for us.

Time to wake up. Time for Fajr. Make your Wudhu and go to the Masjid.
A rhyming story to teach children the benefit of prayer. It’s important to show this vital part in the life of every Muslim, in an accessible way.

We can’t overestimate the value of Prayer.

Buy Time to Pray from the SeerahStore

Time to Pray    ALLAH lets us have fun

Allah lets us have fun, a hardback book with similar artwork to last years ‘Time for Isha’a‘.

A rhyming story for young children, that teaches us to appreciate the things we take for granted. Allah has given us so much. We have so much. We have so much to be thankful for. Sometimes it is easy to forget how blessed we are.

Buy Allah lets us have fun at the SeerahStore

Our first two books, Time for Isha’a, and The Jolly Jamaat, are also available to buy online from the SeerahStore, at a new reduced price.

 

So, the SeerahStore is up and running, just about. The only method of payment taken, at the moment, is via Paypal, and this is only if you have a Paypal account. I am hoping to get more payment methods, and simpler ones, available soon insha’Allah.

And don’t forget you can also buy all our publications, and other Seerah Foundation books, from your nearest Islamic Bookstore. Most Islamic bookshops worldwide get books from Kube Publishing Ltd., who distribute all our books in the UK, and internationally.

 

Since we started StoneFaruq, in May 2008, Allhamdulillaah,we have put 4 Children’s Books into print. But the road is long, we have more than 40 books (mostly already written) that need to be illustrated. We hope insha’Allah that with your du’ah, and your help, that we can increase our output.

More news to come in the days ahead of our next book…

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.

Encyclopedia of Seerah - Print Status

Sunday, January 25th, 2009
Insha’Allah, from now on all news concerning the Seerah Foundation will be posted on this Blog to, just to make things easier, as it’s me who updates both websites anyway.

 

We have been recieving a high number of requests to buy sets of the Encyclopedia of Seerah, but unfortunately we do not have any complete sets in stock at the moment.
Out of the 8 Volumes, we currently only have Volume 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 in stock, with no date as to when the missing books will be printed.

Insha’Allah, any progress on this front will be posted here, and also emailed to those who have made enquiries by E-Mail.

A little help…

Saturday, January 10th, 2009

Assalaamu’alaikum Warahmat’ullah

A reminder to our readers, which is also up on the Seerah Foundation site, on 3 simple ways you can help out our publishing endeavour insha’Allah.

1. Recommend our books, tell your friends about them, and our website. Spread the word!

2. Reserve/request our books at your local Public Library. If you ask for our books, the library will have to get them, and more people can read them insha’Allah.

3. Write reviews and rate our books on major book selling sites like Amazon, Waterstones, WH Smiths, etc. (which they are listed on - even if it’s just a sentence or two). This will get those pages more hits, and get the books noticed by more people insha’Allah.

Who will buy?

Assalaamu’alaikum Warahmat’ullah

We have been in print for just over 2 months now, with our first 2 children’s books, (The Jolly Jamaat + Time for Isha’a), and things are going slow and steady. Don’t get me wrong, people who see the books, Allhamdulilaah, will buy them, but bookshops seem to be a little more reluctant, unless we go and visit them in person, which we have been doing a little, but it’s not that easy to get around them all, or go much further than London.

If you live in the UK, at the moment around London, shops in Whitechapel and Walthamstow have both books in stock, and also one in Leicester, maybe a few others here and there too. Some books have just made there way to Illinois (USA), but we need to get in touch with major distributors in North America to reach a substantial audience there.

We want to make it easier for people to get our books, so our own online e-commerce enabled shop will help insha’Allah. So lookout for the SeerahStore, in development, coming soon insha’Allah.

In the meantime, if you want to buy online, visit Amazon, Waterstones, or other online retailers.
Google is your friend. :)
