A Beautiful Moment: Welcoming Our New Brother to Islam
Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim
الصَّلاةُ والسَّلامُ عليكَ يا سَيِّدي يا رَسُولَ الله ﷺ
Alhamdulillah, in the blessed month of Rabi-ul-Awwal, we were honoured to witness a truly heartwarming and spiritual moment. Just last week, we welcomed a new member to our ummah, our dear brother Marcin, who embraced Islam.
Brother Marcin took his Shahadah, the declaration of faith that brings a person into Islam. With sincerity in his heart, he recited:
“There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His final Messenger.”
This marks the beginning of a new spiritual journey — one filled with faith, learning, and connection to Allah ﷻ.
Moments like these remind us of the transformative power of Islam. When someone accepts Islam, they are not only turning to their Creator — they are also joining a global family. The warmth, support, and encouragement of the community play an important role in this journey.
We ask all our brothers and sisters to keep Brother Marcin in your duas (prayers). May Allah ﷻ:
Aameen.
“Indeed, Allah guides whom He wills to His light.” — Qur’an 24:35
“Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.” — Qur’an 3:19
These verses remind us that guidance is a gift from Allah. When a person finds their way to Islam, it is through His mercy and light.
Islam is a universal religion. It is for all people, all places, and all times. Whether you are curious, learning, or ready to take the next step, know that Islam welcomes you with open arms.

As the great poet Rumi once said:
“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”
Many reverts describe a quiet but strong feeling that leads them to Islam. It is the heart responding to truth. We pray that this feeling continues to grow in all those who are seeking.
We thank Allah ﷻ for allowing us to witness such a blessed event. May more hearts be guided, and may we continue to support one another on this beautiful path of Islam.
Welcome again, Brother Marcin. We are honoured to have you with us.
