Crescent Moon Bookstore came from a need for my own children. There was no one place to find great quality curated books for Muslim kids. Literally within a week of having the idea, I built my own website and started gaining inventory. Still almost 5 years later, it's a passion to bring the best books from around the globe to families everywhere.

The Muslim Bookstagram Awards (MBA) is an annual celebration of Muslim voices in publishing, from mainstream publishers, Islamic publishers, or authors who self-publish.

Through our research and analysis, we have now identified 220 companies that we have followed over the years starting in 2015, at a time when global Muslim startups were just starting to grow.
