We make books that help children grow up with good character: Islamic, moral and self-development titles, many of them given away for free. We also design and build websites, apps and software for schools and companies.
Our projects and books
About us
Our books are for children, teenagers and families. We write and edit them ourselves: Islamic titles, moral stories, and motivational and self-development reading. We print them, sell them, and give many away through sponsored campaigns.
Our software work is for schools and companies: websites, mobile apps, school systems and custom tools. Our own projects, Aayaath and Ilmbee, run on platforms we built ourselves.
“Character comes first. That is our tagline, and it is also the test we apply to everything: what we write, how we build, and how we treat everyone who trusts us.”
From our live projects, aayaath.com and ilmbee.com.

How a book is made
Every book we publish goes through the same six steps, from the first idea to the day it reaches its readers.
We choose the topic and study it from reliable sources, keeping the reader's age in mind.
Our writers draft it in clear, simple language that suits the children, teens or adults it's for.
Editors check every line, and the Islamic content is checked for accuracy before anything moves on.
Illustrations, layout and cover come together, so the book is a pleasure to hold and to read.
The finished book goes to print, whether it's for sale or for a campaign's run of 1,000 copies.
Families and schools buy it, and sponsors help us give it away free in cities and schools.
AayaathQuran understanding initiative
Most of us learned to recite the Quran long before we understood it. Aayaath is built to change that, with three printed books, one for each age, each with simple translations and a verse for every day.
اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ

Short Quranic phrases with simple meanings and illustrations.

Verses with plain translations and questions to think about.

A daily companion with simplified translations, made for steady reading.
Ilmbee is an illustrated library of Islamic books for children aged 4 to 11. The books are meant to be read in sequence, each one building on the last, across Aqeedah, the Prophets, Seerah, duas and dhikr, akhlaq, Allah's creation, and Ramadan and Hajj.
Series 01: 100 books for ages 4 to 11. Play the Ilmbee memory game
