It was a wonderful experience, I was curious about getting the Quran and this was the only place that had it. I went inside and was immediately greeted with the best hospitality I’ve received in any establishment I’ve stepped foot in. I spent about 2 hours inside talking about Islam and life experiences with the owner. 10/10 would recommend if your interested in Islam or just want to know about Middle Eastern culture.

The bookstore was amazing, had all different types of books, more than you could imagine. There were books ranging from the Quran to books on Arabic engineering, the governments of different Islamic countries, novels, books of Aqidah and Sira, including translations. The owner is kind, wise, and very generous.

This place is a gem that I wish I had known about years ago! They have every book you can think of including books for those who are looking to learn the Arabic language. The owner, Mr. Dhiyaa, is a very kind man who gave me a tour of the bookstore. He truly made feel welcomed and has a beautiful mission with his bookstore. I will definitely be visiting again and I HIGHLY recommend this place! I purchased two books on duaas- both of which are amazing and were reasonable prices. Thank you Mr. Dhiyaa and I hope your store continues to benefit those in our community!

We found this bookstore after encountering the scarcity of Arabic books available online. Stepping inside feels like being transported to the Middle East. After discovering it was our first time in, the owner gleefully offered us a tour. His knowledge was outstanding, and he left no shelf unaddressed. I would guarantee that Al-Hikma has a book for any need one has of an Arabic book or any interest one has in the Arab world. There are books for learning Arabic (or for Arabs learning English), English books about Arab topics (pictured), Arabic books for every Arab country, beautiful religious books, specialized dictionaries, photo journal books, cook books, and much more. After more than an hour of our searching, the owner offered us tea and Arab sweets (probably not a guaranteed part of a visit, but we were lucky!). He distilled more knowledge to us before sending us on our way. We felt notably enriched for having stepped inside.

This is a must-visit location for anyone interested in Arab literature. My fiancée and I drove 3 hours to this bookstore, hoping to find some Mahmoud Darwish poetry in the original Arabic form. While we did find exactly what we were looking for, the journey would have been more than worth it even if we didn't! The true treasure of Al-Hikma is its owner, an elderly Iraqi man with a burning passion for literature, history, and life in general. Upon our arrival, he gave us a full tour of his bookstore and would later offer us tea and figs while he chatted with us about Iraq, Islam and anything else that came into his mind. It was truly a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to go back!

I really enjoyed my visit to Al-Hikma Bookstore. Ms. Nadia was very kind and tried to help me find some of the things I was looking for. The owner, Mr. Dhiya, gave me a really nice tour of the bookstore. I enjoyed my chat with them and look forward to visiting again.

Wonderful store with an incredible selection of books in Arabic and English. The owner Dhiya was so sweet and gave me an amazing tour of his shop and explained everything to me since it was my first time there. Nadia teaches Arabic and was so helpful in recommending a few books to help me brush up on my Arabic language skills. They have events with authors and a book club. A great place to visit especially if you are feeling nostalgic for the region and culture ?
