My Home Town Favorite Book Shop

Islamic knowledge has been early taught during the childhood years for every Moslem in Malaysia. Books or 'Kitab' on Islamic religion are the prime choice of Moslem readers and it flourishes in every book shop. Most books are in Bahasa Malaysia as from translation from Arabic. Theres are five known categories of Islamic books available: 1)Bahasa Malaysia(Romanised), 2)Bahasa Malaysia(Modern Jawi), 3)Bahasa Melayu(Old Jawi version), 4)Full Arabic version, and 5)Hard to come by of the English version.

Center for the 'Old Kitab' 

The bookshop named 'Pustaka Amin', established in 1961 by the late Tuan Imam Haji Yusoff Bin Ahmad(27.03.1927-16.01.2003), the former Imam of the Masjid Bakar Arang now renamed Masjid Abu Bakar As Siddiq, Sungai Petani, Kedah. The bookshop is sometime called 'Kedai Yusoff Kitab' by his friends and located at No.47 Bangunan PKNK.,Sungai Petani(closed to the Bus Station). He was my late father's friend and a brotherly friend of mine too.....Al-Fatihah. 

The late Imam Haji Yusoff Bin Ahmad, the founder of Pustaka Amin bookshop.

Today the late Haji Yusoff's daughter, Cik Hamidah managing the bookshop.

Today it still been my favourite bookshop since my school days during the late Imam Haji Yusoff Bin Ahmad was alive and it is here where most of my 'Kitab' came from. It is also locally known as the longest surviving center for the 'Old Kitab' in Sungai Petani.
