Zaman Books is an independent publishing house dedicated to reviving, preserving, and popularizing the rich heritage of Islamic history and legacy.
Our mission is to make the timeless stories, ideas, and personalities of the Muslim world accessible to readers of all ages — through works that are both accurate and deeply engaging.
We believe that Islamic history is not merely a record of the past: it is a living legacy that shapes identity, nourishes faith, and inspires future generations. At Zaman Books, we aim to reconnect readers with that legacy through high-quality publications that combine rigorous research with thoughtful presentation.
Our catalogue ranges from accessible introductions to scholarly translations, from children’s stories to in-depth historical works — all centered on the Islamic tradition and its enduring contributions to the world.
