New
Muslims Project
In today’s competitive
and sensitive world mankind, through feeling more and more isolated
is actively seeking direction, stability and tranquillity in life.
As a consequence of this many have found their way to Islam and
chosen it as their ‘way of life’. To assist, advise
and facilitate the process of self development the New Muslims
Project was established to provide support through a range of
services which directly meet the needs of those interested in
and new to Islam.
Meeting
Point
A regular newsletter for those interested in and new to Islam
is spiritual, educational and social in content. Through it, the
readership is be informed of events and issues beneficial to their
needs.
Advice
and Counselling
The provision of
this service is a very necessary part of the work of the New Muslims
Project. Conversion whether it is ‘inward’ or ‘outward’
will almost always be awkward. Consequently it is comforting to
have the support and assistance of those with experience of the
phenomena to guide others through the transitional stages
Educational
and Social Programmes
Short weekend or occasional week-long family breaks which encompass
the spiritual, social and educational dimensions, provide opportunities
for individuals and families to come together and discuss experiences
thus learning from and supporting each other. Occasions of this
nature have also given the Project the opportunity to assist in
a variety of practical needs such as matrimonial and family matters.
National
Network Volunteers
The volunteer network, having been carefully selected
and trained, offer one-to-one support to those new to Islam within
their own local area. They are introduced to the Mosque, the Muslim
community and its activities into which they will eventually become
active members themselves as they grow in confidence and knowledge.
eGroup
The eGroup provides a platform for those new to Islam to discuss
a broad spectrum of issues which concern them and are of a spiritual
and practical nature. It is a comfortable forum where matters
are explored in an effort to arrive at Islamically acceptable
conclusions through rational thinking and exploration of Islamic
sources.
NMP
Website
The purpose of the website is to encourage learning amongst those
interested in and new to Islam. It provides gentle but detailed
instruction on various aspects of Islam particularly important
to them at this transitional time and in a style which reflects
a unique British flavour. It also allows visitors to remain at
a distance where they may feel more comfortable for a time thus
allowing anonymity without isolation.
