The Seeker’s New Path

A Welcome Iftar for New Muslims

We warmly invite you to The Seeker’s New Path, a Ramadan Iftar created with new Muslims at its heart. This evening is a gentle gathering space for those who have recently embraced Islam or are continuing to find their footing offering connection, care, and companionship along the journey.

Rooted in the spirit of suhba (righteous companionship), this Iftar centers on building meaningful relationships, creating room for honest questions, and fostering a sense of belonging within the wider community. Whether your shahada was recent or years ago, you are welcome here.

We also invite “community anchors” long-time community members to join us in support, helping to cultivate a table environment that feels warm, respectful, and familial.
