ilmStore.in: Making Islamic Knowledge Affordable And Accessible

In India, despite having the second or third largest Muslim population globally, obtaining access to English Islamic books and literature published outside of the country remains a challenge. The high cost of these books, combined with shipping expenses, makes them unaffordable for many. As a result, people either refrain from purchasing these books or opt for making photocopies or buy cheaper, pirated versions which are limited in terms of the available titles.

ilmStore.in is a new publishing house and e-commerce platform that is working to solve the persistent problem faced by many in India: the high cost and limited availability of Islamic books published by international publications.

Started by Muhammad Tumbi, ilmStore.in is bridging the gap between Muslim scholars in the West and communities in India by publishing locally the best-seller and important books from leading Islamic publishing houses. With licenses from the publishers and authors, ilmStore.in is able to make these books affordable and accessible to a wider audience.

Muhammed first realised the need for such a platform when he was pursuing his PhD in the UK and came into contact with Muslim scholars and their work. Despite their content being of high quality, the books were expensive and not easily available in India. This is where ilmStore.in comes in.

ilmStore.in offers a diverse range of books covering different aspects of Islam, including Children’s books, Seerah, History, Fiqh, Quran, History, and Spirituality. Some of their best-selling books include “Reclaim Your Heart” and “Love & Happiness” by Yasmin Mogahed, “Simple Seerah” by Asim Khan, Handbook of a Healthy Muslim Marriage by  Mufti Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera and works by renowned Muslim scholars like Mufti Taqi Usmani, Imam Omar Suleiman, Dr. Yasir Qadhi,, among others.

“Our goal at ilmStore.in is to break down the barriers that prevent people from accessing Islamic knowledge and education. We want to make sure that everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation, has access to the best of Islamic literature. That’s why we’re committed to publishing more books and making them available to everyone who wants to deepen their understanding of Islam,” Muhammad said.

ilmStore.in is playing a vital role in preserving and promoting the rich heritage of Islam. By making these books available in India, ilmStore.in is ensuring that future generations can continue to benefit from the wisdom of Muslim scholars from all over the world. The platform is an excellent resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Islam, from children to scholars and anyone in between. ilmStore.in is truly bridging the gap between India and the rest of the world, bringing the best of Islamic literature to the doorstep of communities in India.
