About Continuous Message

Our Mission

To provide comprehensive support and aftercare for individuals who have embraced Islam, ensuring their successful integration into both the Muslim community and wider British society.

The Vision

Establishing the first dedicated Dawah and aftercare centre in East London (Stratford, E15) – a welcoming hub that fosters open conversation, breaks down barriers, and promotes understanding.

Why It Matters

Approximately 6,000 people convert to Islam annually in the UK. Many face isolation, family conflict, and economic challenges. We bridge the critical gap in post-conversion support.

The Challenge: A Critical Gap in Support

6,000 new Muslims annually face isolation, discrimination, and abandonment

The journey of conversion extends far beyond the declaration of faith. Without structured support, many struggle alone.

Systemic Barriers

39% of UK Muslims live in the most deprived 10% of areas
Pervasive Islamophobia in employment and education
Muslim women with headscarves face negative stereotyping
Ethnic-sounding names reduce interview callbacks
Must work 'ten times harder' to overcome discrimination

Personal Trials for Converts

Profound isolation from established Muslim communities
Family estrangement, conflict, and abuse
Loss of social privilege and identity shock
Heightened surveillance and media demonization
Lack of reintegration support (especially post-prison converts)
