Welcome to Islam

Your Journey Begins Here

Congratulations and welcome, dear brother or sister. Here is what comes next — and how the Rwanda Muslim Community is here to walk with you.

What's Next

Your first steps as a Muslim

Take them in whatever order suits you. Nothing here is a test — every step is a beginning.

Learn to pray (Salah)

The five daily prayers are the heart of a Muslim's day. Learn the wudu (ablution) and the prayer movements step by step.

Start with the Qur'an

Begin learning the short surahs and the meaning of what you recite. A teacher will help you read the Arabic.

Join your nearest mosque

Community is a gift. Visit the nearest mosque or Islamic school to pray, ask questions, and find brothers and sisters.

Take it one day at a time

You do not need to learn everything at once. Allah is Most Merciful — sincerity and small consistent steps are what matter.

Supplications

Duas to begin with

Short words you can carry with you from the very first day.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

رَبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا

Rabbi zidni 'ilma

My Lord, increase me in knowledge.
