The Cambridge Crescent group provides a wonderful, welcoming space for revert Muslims (and their spouses) to connect and share their journey of embracing and living Islam.
The regular online and in-person coffee mornings, evening dinners and occasional dhikr sessions provide a vital support service for Muslim brothers and sisters and a place to meet and form new friendships with other converts. The meetings provide a friendly space with warm hearted brothers and sisters who have a real understanding of and compassion for the complex issues that converts often face investing their time and energy into running the group they are passionate about helping and heartening converts, particularly new Muslims.
The group is a space where we can contemplate on and share the challenges and blessings of becoming and being Muslim, where we can learn more about Islam, draw nearer to God, and where one can discover interesting and inspiring Muslim people, books, events and organisations. We often read books on various aspects of Islam and share our thoughts and experiences around the subject.
I have been Muslim for 17 years and have attended the group sessions since 2019,and mashaAllah I have found that the group has enriched my life. It has been such a pleasure to meet converts from all walks of life; brothers and sisters who have been Muslim for varying lengths of time, from a few months to a few decades. Every time I attend a group gathering, I find my soul uplifted, my imaan strengthened and sweetened, and I leave feeling inspired, closer to Allah Almighty and full of gratitude for the Cambridge Crescent group, alhamdulillah. Thank you to the facilitators and all the volunteers for this fantastic group! Allah bless and reward you all and may the group bring baraka to many more Muslims. Ameen!
