About us
A place to begin your journey into Islam.
Welcome To Islam was created to support new Muslims and those exploring Islam with clear guidance, personal care, and trusted Muslim support.
We know that accepting Islam is one of the biggest and most beautiful decisions a person can make. But we also know that the journey after the shahada can sometimes feel confusing, lonely, or overwhelming.
Many new Muslims ask:
- Where do I start?
- How do I learn to pray?
- What should I focus on first?
- Who can I speak to?
- Which mosque should I visit?
- How do I explain this to my family?
- Am I doing enough?
Welcome To Islam was built to help answer those questions in a gentle, structured, and practical way.
Who is behind it
An initiative of One True Message Foundation.
Welcome To Islam is run by One True Message Foundation, a UK-based Islamic dawah organisation and registered charity based in London. For years our team has shared the message of Islam, spoken to people from all backgrounds, given out free Qur'ans, and helped new Muslims take their first steps.
- Speaking to people about Islam through public dawah
- Supporting people who want to take their shahada
- Sending free Qur'ans to non-Muslims through FreeQurans.co.uk
- Helping people register their interest through BecomeMuslim.co.uk
- Recording and sharing beneficial dawah conversations online
- Connecting new Muslims with helpful resources and Muslim support
- Working with volunteers, mentors, mosques and Islamic organisations
Through this work we met many sincere, curious people who did not know where to begin — and many new Muslims who needed more structured support after the shahada. Welcome To Islam was created because of them.
Why we built it
We noticed a gap — and wanted to close it gently.
A person may take their shahada, feel happy and excited, then suddenly realise they are not sure what to do next. They might be given a few links, added to a group, or told to visit a mosque, but many still feel unsure.
Some are nervous about walking into a mosque for the first time. Some have no Muslim family or friends. Some are afraid of how their family may react. Some feel overloaded by too much information. Some sisters need female support; some brothers need someone to guide them personally. Some simply need reassurance and a clear first step.
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught people with wisdom, patience and care — and we believe new Muslims should be supported in that same spirit.
- Teaching the basics first
- Making prayer easier to learn, step by step
- Giving clear answers without overwhelming people
- Helping people build confidence gradually
- Connecting them with trusted Muslims and local communities
- Supporting them with kindness, not pressure
- Keeping guidance rooted in the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah
