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. My name was then
Amanda.
Then the world went how it
has, so it's been really hard
being isolated for so much
time. Your webinars have been
a lifeline, thank you.
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

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

Classes
One of our most popular and most

levels. Arabic Essentials Level l is for
absolute beginners, starting with the
Arabic alphabet, and Arabic Essentials
Level 2 prepares the students to be able
to start Quran lessons or move on to an
Arabic programme. We therefore sponsor
places on the Arabic courses run by GLM
Educational College for those ready to
move to the next level.
Over the last year, we have taught over
250 hours of Arabic to revert Muslims.
We aim to make the courses as accessible
as possible and as such hosted thern

A long time ago I had a

and she was Muslim. She
spoke to me about her faith
and I have thought about it
ever since. However at that
time, my family was very
much against IsLam.

own and I knew in my
heart that this was the right
path and that I was finalLy
ready to take my first steps

Alhumdulillah, here at home we have been able to support
individuals, dawah stalls and groups across the entire United
Kiiigdom. Thousands of copies of the Quran were distributed
and we pray that those who read them find guidance and ease.
We received a new delivery of English and Spanish translations
of the Quran in August 2021. Of these, approximately 17,000
translations were sent to English speaking countries in Africa and
the 18,000 Spanish Qurans have been sent to South America for
distribution.

DID YOU KNOW?
Since 2019 we have distributed
over 450,000 english
translations of the quran!
I What makes this figure even
more amazing is that it does not
include the Qurans we have given
to our reverts and guests.

Al Islamwlse, we focus on 4 key ¢ategorie8 of work which are as folows..
1) Conveying Islam.
2) Supporting new Muslims.
3) Educatlon.
41 EFnpowerfng others.
Each of these areas of work have a Ilst of actlvitles and swices to help us fulfil our vision.
Although 2021 w8s a tough year wf(h Covid-19 impacting many of our act￿1118$ and servlces, we were still able
to carry out essential work and continue with numerous services. Here is a quick summary of what we did.
Conve
in
Isla
In 2021 we facilitated over 50 Shahadahs, sent out hundreds of books and leaflets and engaged in
conversations with non-muslim online. Our dawah tables were in full operatson through the year and we were
able to become more active on social medla by recording more video ¢ontent.
We were also ab￿ to continue to carry out talks in external venues such as Universi￿eS to raise awareness about
new Muslims.
ortin
new Muslim
At Islamwise. we support many new Muslims on a weekly basis. From new Muslim gift packs to mentoring, we
endeavour to provide all our beneficiaries with the highest level of support. This year also inlrodltced new chat
groups and have had an increased fiumber of online interactions to offer the servi¢es we were unable to facilitate
In person last year.
We also had regular social gatherings which ware postponed during lockdown in 2020. In 2021 we were able lo
have a full gathering al Eid (with Covid precautions) when we came out of lockdown. For many new Muslims, Eid
can feel like a lonely time so such events are essential to the $upport we provide.
ucalion
The eduealion of every new Muslim 18 an essential parl of their journey. We aim to provide the most appropriate
and relevant ¢ourses for everyone. We cover new-muslim focussed topics on our live monthly webinar5, run
regular beginner's Arabic Courses, record lelevanl educational video series and sponsor places on Fiqh and
Adeeqah course5.
This year we also partnered with Green Lane Masjid lo provide free one on one Quran lessons to new Muslims.
Sometimes such learning requires more inleFise Sessions to accelarate progress. Such lessons have been very
well received by the new Muslim community with many new Muslims reaching out to u$ for this essential service.
We have provided over 200 hours of group Arabic classes and over 150 hours of Quran lessons for the new
Muslims that we support. We have also sponsored over 30 free student places on Fiqh and Adeeqah courses
with Green Lane Masjid Educational College.
