Dar Al-Zaman Bookstore
A beacon of knowledge and literature in Medina
Dar Al-Zaman Publishing and Distribution Library is a towering cultural landmark and a beacon of science and literature in the heart of Medina, the city of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
Since its establishment in 1402 AH (1982 AD) in Medina by Sheikh Yassin Muhammad Zaman - may God have mercy on him - it has been launched since then with a clear message based on spreading science and knowledge and serving the Arab and Muslim reader.
The library has established itself as one of the oldest and most prestigious libraries in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, committed to disseminating knowledge and providing its diverse resources to readers and researchers.
A rich history and a renewed vision
Today the library contains more than 50,000 titles in various fields of science and knowledge in both Arabic and foreign languages. It has also published more than 500 books in multiple disciplines, most notably: readings, Qur’anic sciences and university courses.
Over four decades of giving, Dar Al-Zaman Library has been able to gain the trust of readers and students of knowledge inside and outside the Kingdom, and has contributed to enriching the Arab cultural scene with its publications and diverse services in printing, publishing, and distribution, in addition to providing what students of knowledge need in terms of stationery and office supplies.
Dar Al-Zaman's roots run deep in the cultural history of Medina, having begun its journey more than four decades ago with a mission to enrich thought and deepen awareness. It was never merely a bookstore; it was and remains a vibrant center that brings together lovers of reading and learning, contributing to the cultural dynamism of the community. The bookstore has witnessed numerous developments, keeping pace with changes in the world of publishing and distribution, while simultaneously preserving its authenticity and the quality of its content.
