The free digital library consists of more than 800 resources in different languages. To further accommodate its users, the Ahlul Bayt DILP team has been working on various projects which give detailed information on a specific topic. Such projects include the Shiite Encyclopedia, the Event of Gadeer Khum project, and Tahrif (distortion) of Islamic texts.

While the majority of the texts currently available in the library are English translations, the DILP volunteers have taken up the task of providing texts in other languages like Spanish, Italian, Swahili, Arabic, Urdu and Gujarati.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.al-islam.org/alpha.php |title=Al-islam.org Free Library |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070103033122/http://al-islam.org/alpha.php |archive-date=2007-01-03 }}</ref>

The digital library also includes full texts of Islamic books, written by both scholars and laymen. While it does not hold the actual copyrights on these digitized texts, permission from the copyright holders was taken in order to allow DILP and its volunteers to rectify material in terms of spelling, grammar, etc.
