Sponsor or Donate to Upcoming Publications and Dedicate a Book to Your Marḥūmīn!

Our work depends upon the support of our community, and each of our published materials has a large cost associated with the printing, shipping and distribution of books. We donate a large number of our books to public libraries, and centers/masjids all over the United States.

As a result, we are seeking donors willing to partake in project-based funding.

You have the option to make a general donation to a project, or sponsor a book for a larger amount to include the names of your marḥumīn on the inside cover.

Please note that the titles of these books may be subject to change.
