Reactions

The card inside made me emotional and the thought and time you have put into it made me smile the entire day

Oh my goodness, this is so much, I nearly cried out of joy for this amazing package!

The best gift I have ever received!

Absolutely loved the conversion gift pack, it was really lovely so thank you for that!

I just wanted to say thank you for the shahadah pack, the books are amazing and the card literally melted my heart. The gift pack is an extra nice touch to start my journey as a new Muslim.

It's so fantastic, the books are lovely, I can't wait to get stuck in, and all the other thoughtful considered gifts are beautiful.

I received my Shahada pack today and wanted to say such a huge thank you. It really is such a beautiful gift and I will treasure everything within it and make sure I use it all wisely. I am a very new Christian convert so this is all completely new to me but it brought tears to my eyes this morning when it arrived.

Thank you very much for the amazing gifts that you sent to me, I have already started reading my Quran, thank you.

When I opened the gift pack I had tears in my eyes, I was so surprised and I couldn't have imagined you guys giving away soo many things. All things I'm sure I could need and use. I love the perfume and the prayer mat is more comfortable than the one I received as a giveaway from Modanisa six months before my conversion .

I love the Quran, it's much easier to understand than my German one (which is surprising since it's my mother tongue, haha, I guess it has something to do with the quality of the translation ), the other books will be helpful for sure! I've started but haven't read them all yet. I think it's amazing it really made me feel welcome in the Muslim community and that I'm not alone and part of a community that follows the same faith and shares the same passion for truth.

The Cost

Each gift costs around £70 including postage and packaging. In a year, this will cost approximately £16,000. We've posted over 150 packs since our inception and the demand is increasing.

Your Help

Why not join the campaign and encourage friends and family to "give a gift" to their new brother/sister in Islam? They and you will receive the reward for every new convert that utilises their gift pack and feels the joy of receiving it.
