What do you need right now?
Tell us where you are. New Muslims get a path. Seekers get the right next place without creating an account.

Your first thirty days
Small enough to do today. Sequenced so each one builds the next. No syllabus — just the next minute.
Step 1 of 5
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّه
Say it once with conviction — in Arabic if you can, in English if not — and you are Muslim. The Prophet ﷺ said Islam wipes out what came before it: every previous sin, lifted. From today, repeat the shahadah (the testimony of faith) often. It is the seed everything grows from.

The wash before every prayer.
Wudu (the ritual wash before prayer) is hands, mouth, nose, face, arms, head, ears, feet — each in order, with running water. We walk you through every step with imagery and a short video. It prepares your body to stand before Allah, and many new Muslims describe it as the first practice that feels grounding.
Seven verses. The opening of every prayer.
Al-Fatihah is the first chapter of the Qur'an and the heart of every salah (prayer). Read it in English first to understand it, then learn the Arabic line by line with transliteration. Most new Muslims memorise it within a few days. Once it lives in you, prayer becomes possible.
Stand. Bow. Prostrate. The shape of prayer.
Begin with one prayer a day — Fajr if you can wake, Maghrib if mornings are hard. We walk you through each movement and each phrase, with audio. Don't wait until you know everything. The Prophet ﷺ said the most beloved deeds to Allah are those done consistently, even if small.
Step in once. Be greeted by name.
We'll tell a trusted contact at a mosque near you that you're coming — usually for Maghrib or Isha, when it's quieter. Someone will meet you at the door. Stay for prayer, meet one or two people, leave when you're ready. The first visit is the hardest. After that, the mosque starts to feel like home.

New Muslim FAQs
Short, steady guidance for the early days. Open what matters now, and leave the rest until you need it.
iv
Your private companion
Some questions are easier to text than to say. The companion is a private WhatsApp number — answered by AI, supported by our team, held with care. Ask about prayer, family, doubt, or the small things. Nothing is too small. Nothing is too late.
Open on WhatsAppMaghrib's almost in and I want to pray it properly. I've blanked on what you say when you bow — can you remind me before I start?
Of course 🙂 In ruku (the bow) you say: “Subhana Rabbiyal-Adheem” — “Glory to my Lord, the Most Great.” Three times, slowly.
And when I'm down in sujood?
“Subhana Rabbiyal-A'la” — “Glory to my Lord, the Most High,” also three times. You're ready. Pray with a calm heart — Allah sees the effort. 🤲
v
Mentorship
For moments that need human support, mentors help with practical next steps: prayer, mosque visits, family conversations, and keeping steady.
Brothers with brothers, sisters with sisters. Matched by language, stage, and city.
We tell the mosque you are coming. Someone is waiting at the door. You will not stand alone.
Not a forum. Not a group. One person you can message when something feels heavy.
vi
The Mosque Directory
A growing directory of masjids, Islamic centres, and new Muslim support across the UK — searchable by area, with directions, contact details, and the facilities that matter: women's sections, wudu, classes, and more.
English khutbah, sisters' section, and a dedicated revert support team.
We are not here to give you Islam.
This is your journey. Take the next step with clarity.
Whenever you are ready, begin with one thing.
