Welcoming newcomers to Islam
workshop
Every year, thousands of people embrace Islam across the UK, but many feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsupported in their first steps. This practical, heart-centred workshop gives your mosque or organisation the knowledge, confidence, and tools to ensure no newly converted Muslim ever feels alone.
Drawing on real case studies, lived convert experiences, prophetic guidance, and over a decade of on-the-ground expertise, this full-day training transforms how your team understands and delivers support to converts. From the moment a seeker walks through your doors, to the sacred moment of the shahadah, to the crucial weeks that follow, your staff and volunteers will learn how to create a welcoming, empowering, and spiritually nurturing environment rooted in wisdom, compassion, prophetic character, and professionalism.
Through interactive discussions, scenario-based learning, safeguarding guidance, and practical frameworks, participants leave equipped to:
- Support seekers sensitively and without pressure
- Handle shahadahs with dignity, calm, and confidence
- Offer effective emotional, spiritual, and practical support during the first 30 days
- Understand common convert challenges such as family tension, identity shifts, loneliness, and vulnerabilities
- Build systems, policies, and spaces that truly centre convert needs
- Avoid common pitfalls and harmful community behaviours
- Foster belonging, autonomy, and long-term engagement
- Certification given
Whether you are an imam, volunteer, committee member, or community leader, this workshop ensures you can offer the kind of care that reflects the prophetic model: Empathetic, gentle, wise, and welcoming.

why our workshop
The concern for converts to Islam is an area that has been much neglected for decades. The number of converts to Islam in the UK, and abroad, is growing exponentially, with the majority of them being women. Despite the noble efforts of a few small organisations, this need has not been fully met as of yet. People who convert to Islam generally have a whole myriad of needs. We aim to fulfil and serve the needs of those new and old to Islam in a holistic manner.
Our workshop is uniquely designed by specialists who deeply understand the conversion journey from lived experience, frontline support work, and years of research. This is not a theoretical lecture or a generic da’wah seminar. It is a practical, real-world training that tackles the emotional, cultural, spiritual, and organisational challenges converts face every day. Through powerful case studies, interactive scenarios, and prophetic guidance brought to life, we give your team clear, actionable tools to transform the way your mosque or organisation welcomes and supports new Muslims. Communities that complete this workshop will have the ability to create warmer environments, more confident volunteers, and have far greater retention and wellbeing among newly converted Muslims. If you want to offer support that is truly compassionate, professional, and aligned with prophetic methods, this workshop will equip you and your to do exactly that.
