Kube Publishing is an independent publishing house dedicated to producing high-quality literature that explores Islam and the diverse experiences of Muslims around the world. Based in Markfield, Leicestershire, in the United Kingdom, the company was established in 2007 with a clear mission: to lead a new, modern wave in Muslim publishing. Inspired by the Islamic faith, Kube Publishing is deeply committed to serving English-speaking Muslim communities by providing innovative, authentic, and highly relevant books that cater to readers of all ages and backgrounds. Their extensive catalog spans multiple genres, offering an impressive array of general interest titles, rigorous academic research, and beautifully illustrated children’s books.
At the heart of Kube Publishing’s operations is a dual focus on preserving traditional Islamic heritage while simultaneously addressing the modern realities of life in the West. The publisher aims to enable Muslim spiritual, cultural, intellectual, and creative expression in ways that are both engaging and accessible. By tackling contemporary issues head-on and promoting some of the most dynamic new authors in the Muslim world, Kube provides a vital platform for voices that resonate with today’s readers. Notable publications from the Kube imprint often delve into history, biography, lifestyle, and modern spirituality. Some of their highly celebrated titles include Revive Your Heart, Prayers of the Pious, and Islam in Victorian Britain, featuring prominent contemporary authors, speakers, and scholars such as Omar Suleiman.
In addition to its own original imprint, Kube Publishing proudly manages the esteemed Islamic Foundation imprint, which boasts a rich legacy dating back to 1973. The Islamic Foundation has long been recognized as a pioneer in English-language Islamic literature. Under Kube’s stewardship, this historic imprint continues to produce essential works focusing on the Qur'an, Hadith, Sirah (prophetic biography), and Islamic economics. The foundation has published groundbreaking commentaries and authoritative historical texts by renowned scholars. Furthermore, the Islamic Foundation imprint was one of the earliest pioneers of Islamic children’s publishing in English during the 1980s. Kube continues to expand this legacy today by working with beloved children’s authors like Sara Khan, Dawud Wharnsby, and Khurram Murad. These children’s stories are carefully crafted to instill a love of literature, inspire cultural and spiritual creativity, and reflect the beautiful diversity of the global Muslim community.
Beyond its role as a dedicated publisher, Kube Publishing also serves as a crucial hub for the wider Islamic literary ecosystem. The company utilizes its years of industry expertise to act as a major distributor for numerous Muslim publishing houses from across the globe. Additionally, Kube works as a wholesaler, partnering with mainstream publishing houses to ensure that their culturally relevant titles reach Muslim booksellers and readers effectively. Through this multifaceted approach, Kube Publishing not only brings profound, faithful narratives to the public but also actively strengthens the infrastructure of Muslim publishing worldwide. Driven by a deep belief in the transformative power of knowledge and learning, Kube Publishing continues to build upon its legacy, meeting the spiritual and intellectual needs of a rapidly changing world.
