Where curiosity grows.
Libraries and universities, making the Qur’an available to students, readers, and those exploring Islam.
Ahlulbayt Dawah Group
Something close to our hearts.
Something worth sharing.
We love what our faith has given us. We want others to have the chance to explore it for themselves—with a Qur’an in their hands and a warm welcome to ask questions.
Whether you’re Muslim, of another faith, or simply curious—you’re welcome here.
Our objective
A Qur’an within reach.
A chance to discover.
Our objective is simple: share high-quality Qur’ans across North America and help people encounter the message of Islam and the Ahlul-Bayt for themselves.

Why this matters to us
A little of what
we hold close.
For us, the Qur’an is a source of guidance, comfort, and reflection. The teachings of the Ahlul-Bayt—the family of Prophet Muhammad—call us to live our faith with knowledge, generosity, and care for others.
That is what we want to share through Ahlulbayt Dawah Group. Maybe someone is opening the Qur’an for the first time. Maybe they’re returning to it. We want to help make that moment possible, with room to read, reflect, and ask honest questions.
Where people connect.
Mosques, churches, and correctional facilities, helping create opportunities for access and understanding.
Where a new chapter begins.
Reverts and individuals who cannot afford a copy, supporting a personal journey of reading and reflection.
Getting to know one another
Understanding starts
with a little curiosity.
We share neighborhoods, classrooms, and everyday life with people of different faiths. There is still so much we can learn about one another. We hope a book and a conversation can be a place to begin.

An invitation shared across faiths
Learning about each other
has a place in faith, too.
We’re encouraged by voices within other traditions that make room for listening and learning. We can be honest about our differences and still meet one another with respect.
“encouraging the study of religions”
The Vatican’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue includes this in its explanation of dialogue, alongside respect and cooperation. Nostra Aetate, section 3, also calls for mutual understanding between Christians and Muslims.
Read the Dicastery’s guidanceNostra Aetate · 1965 · §3“How can we benefit from learning about other religions, as well as Judaism?”
The Rabbi Sacks Legacy puts this question to students in its interfaith teaching resources, which also explore Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis’s encouragement to study Islam.

What guides us
Share with wisdom.
Let kindness speak, too.
Sharing our faith begins with how we treat people. These words from the Qur’an and narrations of the Ahlul-Bayt remind us to keep learning, to pass on what is good, and to approach others with care.
ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَالْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ
“Invite ˹all˺ to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and kind advice”Qur’an 16:125 · excerpt
For us, the way we share the message should reflect the care within it.
Read the verse · Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quranوَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا
“and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another.”Qur’an 49:13 · excerpt
We take this as an invitation to approach our neighbors with curiosity and respect.
Read the verse · Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran“He can learn our knowledge and teach it to the people.”Narrated from Imam Ali al-Ridha (a.s.)
In response to a question about reviving the Imams’ teachings, the Imam points to learning and teaching. That purpose is close to the heart of our work.
Shaykh al-Saduq · Uyun Akhbar al-Ridha, vol. 1, narration 28-64“Invite people to what is good with other than your tongues”Narrated from Imam Ja‘far al-Sadiq (a.s.) · excerpt
The narration continues by emphasizing perseverance, truthfulness, and piety. We want the kindness people experience from us to be part of what we share.
