Hi shad4man,

thanks.actuali went there last tuesday. Although there are only two three shelves for islamic books (2 for English and 1 for malay), the book qualities are suprisingly good (since maybe the 4th level store is recently opened).

Bought the book called the Quranic Science (Ulum Al Quran) by Taqi Usmani. Quite a good book.

Just wish there were a good bookstore selling English islamic books. <sigh>. Or maybe probably not many people read english islamic books, so the demand is low :(

Salam,

Thanks for the tips, Rookie. I just called Badan Cemerlang (+6 07-2360267), they have some of the books I am looking for:
- The road to Mecca: by Muhammad Assad
- The message of Quran by Muhammad Assad

Am still looking a local (Spore or JB) for The purification of the ehart - by Syeikh Hamza Yusuf. Anyone has a clue?

thank you,

yes i think its a good idea. I WILL keep u guys posted. I can be the organiser for the islamic books spree. :)

Maybe we can take turns to write a review and post it on NBL.

True. In our times, most importantly there is a need for books/information for religious trends and issues, views in Singapore. I believe inter-religious disciplinary and cultural interaction within religious community is a good start.

How can we do da'wa when we have no idea of our country's religious background, historical and progress? Especially on NLB, that's basic key to discuss, if we want to hear more voices from the minority. I am currently reading a book "Religious Diversity in Singapore" by ISEAS, authored by Mr Lai Ah Eng (borrowed by NLB). It is a good book that summarize and discussed on the issues and info on all the religions in Singapore, including Islam. Though not all are 100% accurate, it gives a glance on social, cultural issues that impact on each major religion and the future implications.

Sorry, there's an error in my post "..Especially on NLB, thats a basic key..."

It's suppose to be NB lounge, not NLB. All apologies and the fault is mine.Salaam

Surprisingly the book titles that you guys were asking for can be found at muslimedia.com. Why not try going to their website at www.muslimedia.com.sg?

And even if they don't currently sell any of the titles that you're looking for, you can always email to them so that they can try and find out for you. if possible, you can give them the titles of the books as well as the name of the publishers

And of course, the shipment is not going to take only a few weeks' time, especially if you've requested for books from USA or UK or Riyadh. let's face it, they too have to make bulk orders or they will have to sell us the books at a ridiculously expensive price.

So yeah, It's just an opinion worth trying out.. (:

Salaam.

Although not specialised in Muslim books, you guys can also try out OpenTrolley Bookstore, a Singapore version of Amazon. http://opentrolley.com.sg
