Conversion Services

History

Since 1932, Jamiyah has been a registration centre for non-Muslims who wish to embrace Islam out of their own free will. Since then, thousands of people of various races and religions have converted to Islam here. The converts are encouraged to attend basic religious lessons twice a week, separately for male and female, for 3 months.

During that period, they are taught the fundamentals of Islam. These include performing the ablution, prayer, recitation of the AL-Quran and Hadiths studies. These converts are guided by experienced and qualified teachers. Those with problems after embracing Islam will be given whatever assistance necessary to overcome their problems.This department will give advice to ensure that converts maintain good relationships with their families although they are of different faiths.

Procedures for Conversion

Those who wish to embrace Islam are requested to bring along the following:

Identity card or passport
Four copies of passport size photographs
Two male witnesses who are adult Muslims

Those under the age of 18 years old will have to get authorisation from their parents who will have to be present during the conversion.
All new Muslims will be given the opportunity to attend public talks and seminars to further expose them to Islamic values and teachings.
Visits to mosques are also organised from time to time to expose them to congregational prayers and so that they can get better acquainted about their new faith and other new converts.
