New to Islam

You’re not late, you’re not behind, and you don’t have to figure any of this out alone. Here is exactly what happens next.

الفصل الأول

What happens from your first day

  • Day one — someone talks with you

    No forms, no test, no pressure. Just a conversation about where you are, what you’re wondering, and what you need — in Spanish, Portuguese, or English.

  • Your first two weeks — a mentor

    You’re paired with an established Muslim — a big brother or sister for your first year — who checks on you, answers the small questions, and sits with you at your first gathering.

  • Every week — a class and a meal

    Weekly classes that start from absolute zero: how to pray, how to fast, what to believe — always around a shared meal, because this is a family, not a lecture hall.

  • When life gets hard — quiet help

    If conversion costs you a job, family support, or stability, our mutual aid fund helps with food, clothing, and emergencies — confidentially, with dignity, no gossip.

الفصل الثاني

Come as you are

No Arabic needed. No cost, ever. No one checks how much you practice, which school of thought you lean toward, or whether you’ve even said the shahada yet — the curious are as welcome as the convinced.

And if you carry the heavier things — a family that doesn’t understand, doubts you’re ashamed of, loneliness you didn’t expect — you will be surrounded by people who carried exactly the same things, and stayed. That is the whole point of this community: nobody walks alone.

Tell us your city and where you are on the journey — we’ll take it from there.
