MILA Projects
New Muslim Support Group
Contact(s): Alexandra Contos
Description and Purpose
The New Muslim Support Group has been created by MILA to assist new Muslims or Muslims
coming back to the path of Islam with any challenges they may encounter when making that
life-enhancing decision of becoming a practicing Muslim. The group will be built around the
member's needs.
Objectives
The New Muslim Support group will serve as an organized way to usher new Muslims into the
Islamic community, and assist them in their effort to learn and practice an Islamic way of life.
The hope in starting this support group is to not only assist the new Muslims, but also to raise
awareness of their situation to other Muslims in hopes that one day the Muslim community itself
will suffice as a support group for new Muslims.
Goals
- Introduce new Muslims into the Muslim community.
- Assist new Muslims in learning and practicing an Islamic way of life.
- Create a network of support to answer questions and provide resources.
Projects
- Organize individual trips to mosques.
- Create workshops built around the group's needs.
- Disperse a buddy list so any member can contact any member of the committee for any
questions they may have .
- Offer e-mail contact to ask anonymous questions (questions_islam@yahoo.com).
- Provide a community guide filled with important Islamic resources.
The primary objective of this group is to respond to the needs of new Muslims. As additional needs occur,
adjustments will be made.
May Allah (SWT) bless every Muslim in their search for the right path!
