About This Course
Our New Muslim Converts Course walks you from the Shahada to confident daily practice—starting with how to actually pray, then everything else in the right order, taught by one patient teacher who expects you to know nothing yet.
- Patient Al-Azhar teachers
• Judgment-free, at your pace
• Male & female teachers available
Why This Course
The days after the Shahada are often noisier than the decision itself. A new Muslim gets a flood of “you must do this now,” “that’s haram,” “no, it’s fine” — from every direction, much of it well-meaning but conflicting — until they feel more overwhelmed than when they started.
The missing piece isn’t more information; it’s one trusted teacher who gives you the essentials in the right order, lets the rest come gradually, and cuts out the noise. Here, how to pray comes before every side-debate, and no question is ever treated as too basic.
- Start with what actually comes first Wudu and Salah so you can fulfill your prayers within the first weeks, not after months of theory.
- Get answers from one qualified teacher instead of ten conflicting voices, so “is this halal?” finally has a clear, sourced answer.
- Move at your own pace, with no question too basic and no pressure on personal decisions before you’re ready.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are these new muslim converts classes structured for a total beginner?
They start from zero — the Shahada, then wudu and prayer—before anything else, with each step explained plainly and no assumed knowledge. You move entirely at your own pace.
I've explored Islam but haven't taken the Shahada — can I still join?
Yes, you're welcome. Many students begin while still exploring; your teacher answers your questions honestly, and you can take the Shahada with them whenever you feel ready, with no pressure.
Do you have female teachers for new Muslim sisters?
Yes , a qualified female tutor is available on request, which many sisters prefer for questions on modesty, hijab, and family. Just mention it when you book your trial.
Do I have to wear hijab or change everything right away?
No. The course focuses on the core first belief and prayer—while personal steps like hijab are approached gradually, as your understanding and confidence grow. No pressure, no judgment.
Do I need to know any Arabic?
No—everything is taught in clear English, and you'll learn the short Arabic needed for prayer step by step, with pronunciation help along the way.
How long until I can pray and practice on my own?
Most new Muslims can pray independently within the first few weeks of Level 1. A fuller foundation usually takes several months to a year, at whatever pace suits your life.
