The Sadeeq Program is designed to support newcomers to Islam, connecting them with experienced Ambassadors (mentors) who provide spiritual guidance, friendship, and companionship. Through personalized mentorship, newcomers can navigate their journey in Islam with confidence, gain deeper understanding of the faith, and receive ongoing support from those who care.

Each month, we host our Sadeeq Gathering, a welcoming and inclusive community event for new Muslims and their mentors. This gathering offers a safe, judgment-free space to ask questions, share experiences, and explore Islam in a supportive environment. Participants have the opportunity to meet like-minded individuals, create meaningful connections, and grow together spiritually and personally.

Our monthly Sadeeq Gathering is more than just an event — it’s a chance for new Muslims to build lasting friendships, get answers to questions they may have, and feel a genuine sense of belonging in a caring Muslim community. Whether you have recently embraced Islam, are exploring the faith, or wish to support others on their journey, the Sadeeq Program provides mentorship, learning opportunities, and a warm community to help you thrive.

Join us at our monthly Sadeeq Gathering and discover a supportive network where new Muslims can ask questions freely, share experiences, and develop spiritually with guidance from trusted mentors. By fostering connections and promoting growth, the Sadeeq Program empowers participants to confidently continue their journey in Islam while feeling welcomed, supported, and connected.
