As-salaamu 'alaykum wa ra#hmatullaahi wa barakaatuh. For nearly 50 years, by Allah's Grace, I have had the honor of helping new Muslims learn their prayer, read the Qur'an, navigate family challenges, understand Islam, and remain connected to the Muslim community. Today, I believe Allah has opened the door to something much bigger. My goal is to establish the International New Muslim Institute (INMI)—an organization dedicated to helping new Muslims not just take shahadah, but successfully build a lifetime of faith. This is a long-term vision, and I know I cannot build it alone. I'm looking for brothers and sisters who would like to become part of the Foundational Team helping to establish INMI. You do not have to be an expert. I'm especially looking for: • Reverts (new or experienced) who have a heart for helping other reverts. • Muslim brothers and sisters who grew up in Islam and want to support new Muslims. • College students and young professionals looking to use their talents for something meaningful. Areas where volunteers may be able to help include: - Social media - Video recording and editing - Graphic design - Writing and proofreading - Teaching assistance - Research - Technology and websites - Administration - Outreach - Building programs for new Muslims around the world Whether you can give a few hours a week or simply want to learn while serving, I would love to hear from you. My hope is that, years from now, people will look back and say: "By Allah's Grace, I helped build something that made life easier for thousands of new Muslims." If this speaks to your heart, please send me a private message and tell me a little about yourself, your skills, and how you would like to help. May Allah accept it from all of us and make it a source of ongoing reward (sadaqah jaariyah). Ameen.
