Programme 2: Life After Conversion - Easing New Muslims into the Community

Programme 2: Life After Conversion - Easing New Muslims into the Community

Join us at this month’s Pizza Night as we host Ta’leef, an American-based organisation that supports people on their journey into Islam, who will share and discuss the etiquette on the prophetic call within the grassroots communities on ‘Life After Conversion - Easing New Muslims into the Community’.

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was sent to mankind to perfect and refine the character of humanity (Sahih Muslim, 273).

The refinement of character is a lifelong journey and it’s not merely an individual affair for each Muslim. Muslims are part of a wider body and the entire prophetic community has been given a mantle and collective responsibility of living in accordance with the message of prophecy.

Audience: Open to converts and their loved ones only
