Chapter 1
The Book of Good Manners
1. Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed by a man of the Ansar who was admonishing his brother regarding shyness. Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Leave him alone, for modesty is a part of Iman."
3. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Iman has sixty odd branches. The uppermost of all these is the Testimony of Faith, while the least of them is the removal of a harmful object from the road."

Read in the minutes you already have.
A passage is one screen, about a minute of reading. That is small enough to fit into the gaps in a day, and enough of them add up to whole books.
On the bus
Read through a commute instead of scrolling through it. One hand, one swipe, and you are reading before the next stop.
On a journey
Books are downloaded once and read with no signal: on a train, on a flight, on the long road home. No data, no loading.
While you wait
In a queue, at the doctor’s, waiting for a friend. Five minutes is five passages.
After Fajr, before sleep
Open or close the day with a few quiet passages. The app remembers exactly where you stopped.
Ready to read in three steps.
- 1
Choose a book
Browse a shelf of Islamic books (hadith, seerah, fiqh, the inner life) or open a PDF or EPUB already on your phone.
- 2
Download it once
Each book comes down as one file and stays on your phone, ready to read offline. Nothing to zoom, nothing to set up.
- 3
Read a little every day
Set a daily amount you can keep. Five passages a day is a book a season, and the counting switches off whenever you like.
Everything a phone reader needs, and nothing it doesn’t.
Ready to read, not a PDF
Every book is set to fit your screen, font and text size. No pinching, no zooming, no sideways scrolling: just the next passage.
Works offline
Download a book once and it reads the same with no connection. Your progress syncs the next time you are online.
Your place follows you
Progress, bookmarks and notes are saved to your account, so any device opens on the passage you left.
Four ways to read
Swipe up a passage at a time, slide sideways, turn pages like a printed book, or scroll one long column.
Save and take notes
Keep a passage, write a private note on it and find both again later. No likes and no audience: they are yours.
It knows when to stop
After a stretch of reading the app says so and offers to close the book. The opposite of a feed that never ends.
Easy on the eyes
Seven page colours, from Paper and Sepia to a true-black Night, in Bangla and Latin typefaces made for long reading.
Bangla and English
Bangla books are set in proper Bangla type, conjuncts intact, and the whole app can run in Bangla too.
Make reading a daily habit, not another feed.
Reels and feeds are built to keep you scrolling. Islamic Book Library keeps the swipe you already know and points it at something worth your time. Set a daily amount you can keep and see your last seven days and everything you have read. If being counted is not for you, switch it off and the app never mentions it again.

Questions, answered.
What is Islamic Book Library?
Islamic Book Library (IB Library) is a reading app for Android and iPhone. It carries a library of Islamic books (hadith collections such as Riyad as-Salihin, seerah, and works on faith, worship and character) set as short passages you read one screen at a time.
Can I read Islamic books offline?
Yes. A book is downloaded once and then read entirely on your phone with no connection, on a bus, a train or a flight. Your progress, marks and notes sync the next time you are online.
Can I read Bangla Islamic books?
Yes. The app reads Bangla and English. Bangla books are set in Bangla type and cut into passages the same way English ones are, and you can also open Bangla PDFs and EPUBs from your own phone.
Can I use the app in Bangla?
Yes. Switch the whole app between English and Bangla in Settings with one tap. If your phone is set to Bangla, the app opens in Bangla from the start.
Why passages instead of pages?
A passage is sized to your screen, font and text size, so it always fits without zooming or scrolling. It is the right size for a minute on the bus, and it never cuts a thought off without telling you.
How does it help me build a daily reading habit?
Pick a daily amount you can actually keep. Five passages takes about five minutes. The app shows your last seven days and what you have read in total, and every bit of the counting can be switched off.
Isn’t this just a feed with books in it?
It is built to be the opposite. There are no like counts, no recommendations, no autoplay and nothing to scroll once the book ends. The daily goal can be switched off, and after a while of reading the app suggests you stop.
How much does it cost?
New accounts get a free trial. After that there is one plan: 50 taka a month for the whole library, paid in the app with bKash, Nagad or Rocket. Nothing renews on its own. See current plans →
Can I publish my own book?
Yes. Send us a link to your PDF or Word manuscript (the whole book, or a sample of a few chapters) from the “Publish with us” page. An editor reads every submission and replies either way. Accepted books are prepared as passages and published under your own name. Publish with us →
Is it available on Android and iPhone?
Islamic Book Library is built for both Android and iPhone, and looks and feels the same on each.
