I recently discovered Kitaabun while searching for a particular book, and found that they have so many classic sources that I have been looking for, as well as contemporary ones. So I bought Al Mu'jam Al Mufahras Lialfadh Al Qur'an, as my first buy. The book is superb. Great quality and fast delivery. Thank you so much.

Great delivery service, but bad paper quality
Great delivery and service, however, terrible print quality. I've recently bought a book (Fiqh al Sunnah, by Al-Sayyid Sabiq). When the book arrived, the edges were slightly damaged, and paper quality is appalling. The paper is super thin and basically see through, and on the day the delivery was made, it was a humid/slightly rainy day, and the humidity caused the paper to bend slightly/be wavy. Insha'allah they find either a better paper quality, or improve the paper quality.
However, overall, the book itself is in great shape, and everything is readable.

My association with Kitaabun is for last 13 years. In early 2010, as a young man with passion for Islamic books (English translation) it was very difficult to source books with limited budget. While searching I accidentally stumbled up this beautiful unbiased store which sold every book under the sun. They’ve the best customer service and by far cheapest shipping rates (my recent purchase - Sufism and imams, cost me less than Amazon) when compared with any book store on the market. I genuinely believe they are not here to make profile but serve deen. May Allah help them to continue to serve ummah for generations to come (Special thanks to service by Roza who has been there helping us forever) - A.Mohammed

Vast library, good delivery, best prices in UK
Have used them and was very pleased with both service and international delivery.
Well priced and good customer service.
However, they need a modern and more interactive website. Very outdated and not in line with current standards of modern webistes.
But, i totally Recommend!
