Welcome to Aslama: Your Community Awaits

Join a supportive space for white British Muslim converts and their families to thrive together.

Empowering connections for every journey.

Why the Name Aslama?

The name Aslama was chosen with deep meaning. Inspired by the Arabic word “salam” (peace) and a sense of safe return or coming home, Aslama represents the journey many converts make when they enter Islam, seeking peace, belonging, and a place to be fully themselves. It symbolises both a greeting and a grounding, a message to each attendee: “You are welcome here. You belong here.”

Together, through Aslama, we intend to plant the seeds of a strong, supportive convert community built on peace, purpose, and people who truly understand your journey.

Rooted in Peace

About us

Aslama began not as an organisation, but as a feeling.

A quiet ache.

A deep silence.

A space that never quite felt filled.

For many white British converts to Islam, embracing the truth of this faith brings light, but it can also come with deep, unspoken loss. We may lose family ties, cultural belonging, and the familiarity of our upbringing.

Many of us try, adapt, change, and blend.

Yet so often, we are still left feeling like outsiders in the very faith we hold so dearly.

And when the Eid gatherings come and the masjid is full of joy, we smile, but most of us return home to an empty table, while born Muslim families celebrate together.

So, we created Aslama, a name rooted in the Arabic word meaning to give oneself entirely to God, and tied to the concept of salam, meaning peace.

This is not about division.

This is not about race.

Aslama is not an answer to anyone else; it’s a home for those who feel they have none.

We organise gentle, peaceful gatherings in the English countryside, and we hope, in time and with the right support, to expand our events and offer more activities for everyone to enjoy.

We are building a family for those who have lost theirs, for those who are rebuilding theirs, and for children who deserve to see that being a white British Muslim is not a contradiction, it’s beautiful.

We’re here to say: You don’t have to erase your roots to walk the path of faith.

Speaking from the heart

I understand there are questions..

I want to take a moment to gently address some of the concerns, because this was never about exclusion, but about creating a space where we finally feel we belong.
