Maktabah ar-Rahmah, operating as ar-Rahmah Books, is an Islamic bookstore established in 2020 and headquartered in New York, United States. The store is an official distributor of Islamic sciences publications, supplying Masjids, Maktabs, and Islamic schools across North America and delivering Islamic literature to customers worldwide through international shipping.
The bookstore carries three principal product categories. The Islamic curriculum category features the An-Nasihah Islamic Curriculum and the Safar Islamic Curriculum, both structured across graded coursebooks and workbooks for children and youth. The Qaidah and Quran category includes 15-Line Mushaf editions, 13-Line Mushaf editions, color-coded Tajweed Qurans, South African script Mushafs, and Juz Amma editions for beginners. The English books category spans 12 subcategories: Adhkar, Aqidah, Arabic Language, Biographies, Fiqh, Hadith, In Shaykh's Company, Qur'anic Sciences, Sirah, Spirituality, Tarikh, and Travel Guides. According to the store's published catalog, supplementary collections include Urdu-language books, children's games, and miscellaneous academic titles such as the Hans Wehr Arabic-English Dictionary and the Goodword English-Arabic Dictionary.
A 2023 report by the Pew Research Center identified a growing demand for Islamic educational resources among Muslim communities in North America, driven by the expansion of weekend Islamic schools and full-time Islamic academies. ar-Rahmah Books addresses this demand by stocking publishers from Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, the United Kingdom, India, and Pakistan. The store serves individual households seeking Quranic learning tools for home use. The store serves institutional buyers requiring bulk curriculum orders for classroom instruction. The store serves international customers lacking local access to verified Islamic publications. Each audience benefits from the store's official distributor status, which ensures authentic, uncorrupted texts — a critical requirement for Islamic scholarly materials.
