Support for New Muslims

Nominal headquarters, Phoenix

Our monthly Sadeeq Gathering is a community event designed to support Newcomers to Islam (new Muslims) and Ambassadors (mentors) in building meaningful connections, deepening Islamic knowledge, and fostering a sense of belonging. Whether you’ve recently embraced Islam, are exploring the faith, or want to support others on their journey, Sadeeq Night offers a warm, judgment-free space to learn, share, and grow.

A key feature of the evening is the Sadeeq Roundtable—an open, interactive discussion where Newcomers can ask questions about Islam, share personal challenges, and receive guidance from experienced converts and mentors. You’ll also be inspired by real-life stories of individuals who have made a positive impact in their communities and beyond.

Each gathering includes a light dinner, giving you the opportunity to connect with fellow attendees in a relaxed, friendly setting. Whether you come to learn, meet new friends, or find a mentor, Sadeeq Night is your place to feel supported and part of a thriving Muslim community.
