Review: Living Islam Out Loud-Saleemah Abdul-Ghafur

Ed. Saleemah Abdul-Ghafur


Whatever your feelings about this collection of essays, I think the most disturbing fact is that none of the top Muslim media outlets carries it.

    Second question first: No, book companies are not required to sell anything. I'd expect some book companies to begin to carry it, either for the ideological reason that it should be sold or the profit motive that people are asking for it. Your observed that the online booksellers are slower in offering new products. In sha Allah, some will begin carrying this item.

    You're right about Suq us Sunnah and MeccaCentric.

    Other than Kazi, do you think that other Muslim media retailers will begin to carry this item?

    Incidentally, I also looked at

    http://onlineislamicstore.com/
    http://www.noorart.com/
    http://www.kvisionbooks.com/
    http://khatoons.net/
    http://www.islamicbookseller.com/

    None of which carried this book.

    Subhan'Allah, I didn't even know about those other outlets. I rarely buy books online; Kazi is the only one that I know of (excluding the above, which I just learned of, except NoorArt, which I thought was for children's stuff only) that carries a very wide range of books -- from classical to modern conservatives to liberal. If this were three years ago, I'd say Sufi Books would carry it, but it's my understanding that they only carry books from Pir Press now (and the bricks-and-mortar store, which had everything from al Albani to ibn 'Arabi is gone). -- Umm Zaid
