Why I Created an Online Islamic Bookstore Marketplace: Solving A Challenge for Readers and Sellers

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Have you ever searched tirelessly for something you love, only to come up empty-handed or faced with barriers like high costs and long waits?

It's very simple.

I wanted to attain high quality Arabic-Islamic books at an affordable price but there aren't many bookstores like that in America.

So I looked overseas and the shipping cost and wait times were too long.

So I looked to possibly make a physical bookstore but came up against the same problem.

Then I thought for a while and said, why isn't there a marketplace specifically designed for this?

Just like that, the idea was born.

I know for sure there are others just like me that are running into the same problems. Why don't I address this problem?

2 months and countless hours of coding later, M4KTABA was completed; the first online Arabic-Islamic bookstore marketplace (that I'm aware of).

With this, people with books they've read, or want to get rid of books, or even have their own bookstore can sell it on here and benefit.

I also included another love I had in this project which is honey.

I learned about sidr honey and its benefits a little before M4KTABA and just like arabic-islamic books, there's no way to get your hands on quality sidr honey, sourced from Yemen, at an affordable price.

So I got into touch with a contact there who sells me liters at an amazing price and he said, why don't you sell it to others?

So that's what I'm doing.

Whatever you're here for, join the journey and sell or buy quality books(or raw sidr honey).

في امان الله.
