A translation of Abul A’la Mawdudi's [[Towards Understanding Islam|Towards Understanding Islam (Urdu:Risal-e-Diniyat)]] by V. P. Muhammad Ali Haji (a.k.a. Haji Sahib), titled 'Islam Matham' was the first book to be published by IPH. It also marked a significant shift of Islamic publications in Kerala from the hybrid [[Arabi Malayalam|Arabi-Malayalam]] script to the [[Malayalam]] script. It has since sold 67000 copies.<ref>[http://iphkerala.com/History_Eng.html IPH Best Sellers]</ref><br />
