About us

Maktabat Al-Salaf is a dedicated Islamic bookstore founded upon the principles of the Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah, with the understanding of the noble Salaf (righteous predecessors). Our mission is to make authentic Islamic knowledge accessible to every seeker of truth, whether they are a beginner student, a serious scholar, or a parent seeking sound material for their children.

We specialize in curating and distributing trusted books in ʿAqīdah (creed), Fiqh (jurisprudence), Ḥadīth, Tafsīr, Sīrah, Arabic language, and other essential sciences of Islām. Each title we offer is carefully selected from reputable publishers and scholars known for their sound methodology and adherence to the truth.

Our library includes a wide range of books in both Arabic and English—from timeless classical works to contemporary writings by scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamāʿah. Whether you seek to study the words of Imām al-Barbahārī, Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah, Imām al-Nawawī, Shaykh al-Fawzān, or the insightful explanations of Shaykh Ibn Bāz and Shaykh al-ʿUthaymīn, our catalog strives to serve your path of knowledge.

At Maktabat Al-Salaf, we believe that knowledge is a light and a mercy—so we are committed to spreading this light with sincerity, clarity, and excellence. May Allāh make our efforts beneficial, and may He increase you and us in beneficial knowledge and righteous action.

“Whoever Allāh wants good for, He gives him understanding in the religion.”
