We have done this NEW U5UM SUPPORT at events such as mosque open days, school visits, supporting on dawah stalls, d istributing gifts to corporate guests and even our own events. For example: this year for Eid al Adha, the Islamwise team and volunteers went out to Birmingham town cenlre to hand out gifts and English translations of the Quran. Many of those who engagpd wilh us were very grateful for the opportunity to take hoine a translation and ollier litcrature to increase their IHE SCRIPTURI understanding of Islam. These events are amazing opportunities to showcase Islam to new and wider audiences. We have repeatedly heard from recipients that they have always wanted a copy of the Quran, but didn't know where to get one from.
JISLAMWISE REVERTING DURING ISOLATION Assalamalaikum, I reverted in November 2019, and my friend organised a pack of information and two Qurans from you to welcome me as a Muslim.

I noticed that you're sending out Eid gifts for new Muslims and I'd be really grateful to have one please? Spending Eid alone last year was pretty emotional. ANDS Thank you so much for existing

JISLAMWISE INDEED, IT ISALLAH SWTWHO HAS DECREED OURJOURNEY TO ISLAM AND ALL PRAISE IS DUE TO HIM. Over a period of time I was becoming aware that I wanted more out of life, following a Long period of feeling lost. As I searched for ways of dealing with this I was not finding a solution. It was as if a mental block was preventing me from the truth. One day I found myself sat on the edge of my bed, and said, "If there is a God, if you really do exist. whoever you are please help me and I will follow you" What happened later that day, while going about my daily business, was that I saw in my mind what I recognised as the Kabaa, in Mecca. I began to look up Muslim websites. I requested a Qu'ran and spoke to my parents about my interest. I then decided following an emotional prompt to follow through and inquire about becoming Muslim. l am so glad that I havel 18
