Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

I was blessed to live in Bahrain where I became fimiliar with Islam and met many Muslim friends. I converted to Islam recently and have received much help from my brothers in Bahrain. Each; however, has informed me I must meet and socialize with American Muslims but I do not know how to find or approach a mosque or Islamic CENTER 294617535

Answer:

Discover Islam Bahrain

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Respected brother in Islam, if you are a recent revert to Islam, live in Bahrain, and wish to find out or study more about Islam, or intend to approach other muslim brothers or an Islamic Guidance Centre……then the absolutely best way in our humble opinion would be to approach the brothers at an organization called ‘Discover Islam’ in the Kingdom of Bahrain. They are located in Manama, near Exhibition Avenue, on the first floor of the Al-Baraka building, and their telephone number is +973 17 53 73 73.

These brothers are dedicated to the Cause of Islam, wholeheartedly welcome new-muslims, and hold several and regular programs which would help inculcate new believers into the believing muslim society. Although each amongst the brothers there would be more than honored and consider it a privilege to accommodate your concerns regarding Islam, feel free to speak to Brother Ishaaq Kooheji who is the chairman of the voluntary organization, or Brother Shaikh Ahmad Khan who is the director and head of the ‘dawa’ organization….I know these brothers personally and assure you that they will strive their utmost to accommodate all your concerns regarding Islam.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
