What you need
Open to everyone
You do not need to be Muslim or planning to become one. Curiosity is enough.
No prior knowledge
We start from the beginning in plain Japanese. Interpreters for English or Indonesian are available on request.
Free of charge
Materials are provided. You may join any session, with or without notice.
Walking with you, step by step
For anyone curious about Islam or who has recently embraced it, we offer company rather than pressure.
A mentor for each person
You are paired with one companion who answers questions, prays beside you, and stays in touch between sessions.
Materials in Japanese
Short, clear handouts in Japanese, with English and Indonesian available.
The shahada, when you are ready
If and when you decide to become Muslim, the declaration takes a minute. We can arrange witnesses and a certificate.
The steps after
Learning to pray, fasting for the first time, talking with family, and finding halal food: your mentor stays with you.
