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…

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. :)

Bazaar at the RPM

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

A Our first (unofficial) book launch, took off with a whimper at the Regents Park Mosque last Sunday (16th Nov 2008), at ‘The Grand Bazaar’. Allhamdulilaah, we had a decent setup, and the banner looked good maash’Allah, at least we’re finally ‘out there’.

We sold a few copies of each book, so Allhamdulilaah, people out there have them now. We just need to work faster to get them into the bookshops insha’Allah.

We’ll announce future events right here insha’Allah.
