What IBN DAUD CONSULTING LTD does

IBN DAUD CONSULTING LTD, trading as Ibn Daud Books, is a privately held, family-run online Islamic book publisher and retailer headquartered in Leicester, United Kingdom. The company publishes and sells physical Islamic literature authored by founder Ibn Daud, organized around two proprietary product lines: the Handbook Series, comprising A Handbook of Spiritual Medicine, A Handbook of Accepted Prayers, and A Handbook of Prophetic Characteristics, which together provide structured frameworks, diagnostic tools, and references to Qur'anic verses and authentic ahadith; and the Tracing Qur'an Series, including Juz 30 and The Blessed Chapters, an interactive word-for-word methodology for Qur'an engagement. Each title is offered in a portable paperback edition and a premium hardback edition with foil covers and ribbon bookmarks, priced from $21 to $49 individually and from $64 to $78 as bundled gift sets, with digital gift cards starting at $17.25.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model via a Shopify storefront with multi-currency checkout, integrated payments through Shopify Pay, PayPal, and Klarna's 4-installment BNPL, and ships globally. Distribution is supplemented by a network of more than 35 international stockists — including Fnac in France, Kinokuniya at Dubai Mall, and Librairie de l'Orient in Paris — together with three regional fulfillment partners: Darussalam International Publications for the UK and US, Yusufi Publishers for India, and Muhammad Imran Memon for Pakistan. Marketing is conducted through Instagram, an email and SMS funnel, an educational blog, free-sample campaigns, and a Collab Shopify affiliate program.

The company's value proposition targets Muslims seeking spiritual growth, Qur'an learners, new Muslims, families with children, and Islamic book retailers worldwide, addressing needs such as spiritual self-purification, dua practice, and accessible Qur'an engagement. According to company-reported metrics, Ibn Daud Books has sold more than 100,000 books to over 40,000 readers across 16+ countries and holds a 4.8/5 rating from 799 customer reviews. The technology stack is standard off-the-shelf e-commerce infrastructure rather than proprietary software, and the founder personally authors the content with a small, named team of scholars, editors, and designers. No external funding, M&A activity, or institutional ownership has been disclosed.

• Dar Al-Minhaj: Malaysia-based publisher specializing in classical Islamic scholarship including full Arabic/English editions of Imam Al-Ghazali's Ihya Ulum al-Din. Comparable in the niche of classical spiritual texts made accessible to modern English-reading Muslims.
• Goodword Books: India/UK-based Islamic publisher with strong children's and educational catalog. Partially overlapping with Ibn Daud's Tracing Qur'an Series aimed at children and family Qur'an engagement.
• Darussalam International Publications: One of the largest global Islamic publishers and retailers, headquartered in Saudi Arabia with worldwide distribution. It is directly comparable as both a competitor (selling Islamic books globally) and a current fulfillment partner for Ibn Daud Books in UK/US.
• Kube Publishing: UK-based independent Islamic publisher producing spiritual, educational, and character-development books for English-speaking Muslims. Closely comparable in geography, audience, and content category to Ibn Daud Books' Handbook Series.
• Turath Publishing: UK-based publisher specializing in classical Islamic works and spiritual texts, including translations of classical scholars. Comparable in audience (English-speaking Muslims seeking depth) and in physical book retail/D2C distribution.
• International Islamic Publishing House (IIPH): Major Saudi-headquartered Islamic publisher with global distribution and translations in multiple languages. Comparable in catalog breadth covering Qur'an, hadith, and character/spiritual development topics targeting English-speaking Muslims.
• Al-Fatih Publishing: Independent publisher of spiritual and classical Islamic texts, including translations of Imam Al-Ghazali's works. Directly comparable given Ibn Daud's Handbook of Spiritual Medicine is explicitly inspired by Imam Al-Ghazali.
• White Thread Press: Independent Islamic publisher focused on spirituality, ethics, and character development rooted in classical tradition. Highly comparable content focus to Ibn Daud's Handbook of Spiritual Medicine and Prophetic Characteristics titles.

Broad incumbents
