We assessed a need for New Muslim Care after research studies showed that many New Muslims were leaving Islam after coming into the fold of Islam due to lack of support from the Muslim Community. Ongoing support once someone accepts Islam is vital for our growing community. The lack of such support often leads to disillusionment for new Muslims. To this end, New Muslim Care delivers programs for n
ew Muslims to provide this support. The New Muslim Care program is an engaging program that creates a positive impact on the lives of those who accept Islam and begin a new life as Muslims. Every participant goes through a cycle which includes components to assist them with various educational, emotional, and social needs. Through this approach, new Muslims are able to sustain their faith and remain steadfast in times of adversity. The goal is to nurture our new Muslim brothers and sisters, and ensure retention by providing them with the necessary support and resources to make the journey into Islam easier. Other outcomes include integration of new Muslims into local Muslim communities, empowerment of new Muslims through seminars and education, as well as awareness campaigns of the struggles new Muslims face within the existing Muslim community. New Muslim Care was established in Late 2011 and we are currently in the process of expansion into many countries. New Muslim Care is a program of Mercy Mission World.
