My Book Ordering Experience
I ordered the Revival of Religious Sciences. For me as a Muslim revert where I’m at in America there isn’t many knowledgeable books regarding these subjects. The books came in perfect condition from the UK to the US. Customer service is very good and they give insightful recommendations for books on WhatsApp. Highly recommend if you are looking for Islamic books.
