About IN-MI
IN-MI is a small institute in Maryland that helps new Muslims after Shahadah. We teach, we match people with mentors, and we help masjids keep new Muslims coming back.
Why IN-MI exists
Someone takes Shahadah at a masjid. The room says Allahu akbar, people hug them, and then everyone goes home.
A month later many of them have stopped coming. They were not taught to pray. They had nobody to ask. Some lost their family and found no new one.
IN-MI is here for that month, and the years after it.
Imam (Uncle) Samir Ismail
Uncle Samir has taught new Muslims in Maryland for years. He started IN-MI because many people take Shahadah, get congratulated, and are then left to learn Islam alone. IN-MI teaches from the Qur'an and Sunnah, the first three generations of Muslims, and the four Sunni schools.
What we teach from
- 1The Qur'anThe word of Allah.
- 2The SunnahWhat the Prophet, peace be upon him, said, did and approved.
- 3The first three generationsHow the Companions and the two generations after them understood Islam.
- 4The four Sunni schoolsWe respect all four and do not ask you to pick sides.
