مَكْتَبَةُ الأُمِّيِّين
A library is built one book at a time.
Books of the Qur'an, Sunnah, and the creed of the Salaf — chosen edition by edition for the home, the masjid, and the student who is just beginning.
Strive to acquire books — even if you must sell something dear to you to buy one.
Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hadi al-Wadi'i, rahimahullah On the duty of the student of knowledge to build his own library
