Shaykh Mustafa Briggs - The Prophetic Model of Caring for Converts to Islam

We unveiled two exciting major national initiatives that will radically improve and change the face of support for new converts in the UK:

1. The Shahadah Box Campaign – a bespoke pack that you can give to every new Muslim who does their shahadah, connecting them with local and national support from the New Beginnings community. Find out more at https://beginnings.org.uk/gift/

2. The Welcoming Newcomers to Islam Workshop – a practical blueprint to help communities improve care of converts to Islam from within. Find out more at https://beginnings.org.uk/workshop/

We called on all Muslims who care about convert support to join us in shaping a united and innovative approach to supporting converts to Islam.

New Beginnings Annual Conference 2025

Watch till the end!📺

New Beginnings hosted a remarkable and intimate gathering with special guests from @taleefcollective .

The event was held at the beautiful @ribeyesteakhouse and brought together both new Muslims and people who are not Muslim.

We delved into vital topics like preserving cultural identity and navigating the journey of faith one step at a time. The open and heartfelt discussions offered a fresh perspective on Islam, with many attendees expressing that they had never encountered such a presentation of the faith.

The collaboration with Ta’leef Collective was truly a blessing, and we look forward to future partnerships, God willing.

We are New Beginnings, are a non-profit charity committed to supporting new Muslims on their spiritual journeys. Your support can make a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve. Support New Beginnings today!
