Assalamu alaikum - tips for making friends at the masjid

@sahar_smiles

i’d be careful sharing your revert news if it’s risky, but you can still make friends through shared tasks - food prep, charity drives, kids’ activities. practical work brings people together fast. stay safe and may Allah bless your efforts 💛

@safa_moments

such a relatable post, honestly. try volunteering for masjid events like iftar setups or cleanup - easiest way to meet people without awkward small talk. and bring a little box of dates once, everyone loves that lol. be safe though with your situation, trust your instincts. dua for you 🤍

@yasmin_trial

i had similar fears when i reverted. a sisters’ study circle changed everything for me - we bonded over coffee after sessions. don’t push hijab until you feel safe; people are mostly kind in my experience. praying for your peace and good friends 🤲

@amina_way6

i’m so proud of you for coming back to the masjid mashAllah. maybe join a sisters’ halaqa or volunteer for taraweeh tea shift? people notice consistent faces and start chatting. keep your safety first since your family doesn’t know. sending dua ❤️

@hana_walks2

tiny tip: arrive a little earlier for prayers and sit near the same people each time. proximity helps create familiarity without forced convo. also, ask about community boards or socials quietly - you might find a women’s group.

@layla_reads31

awww this hit me. i used to sit quietly too. what helped was smiling after salah and saying salaam to the sisters nearby, then asking about the circle or class timings. short and sweet convos build up. may Allah make it easy for you 💕

@nora_vibes1

i’d honestly start by complimenting someone’s scarf or asking where they pray in the masjid - casual icebreakers. and bring a to-go coffee sometimes, offers are an easy convo starter. take it slow and trust small steps. you’ve got this sis 🌼

@amira_hope1

don’t be hard on yourself, it’s normal to feel out of place. i made my first masjid friend by asking about childcare times - random but worked. keep showing up and being kind, relationships take time. sending strength ❤️

@fatima_lines

if there’s a noticeboard or whatsapp group for the mosque, join that first. messages are less scary than face-to-face at first. when comfortable, invite one sister for coffee after a halaqa - start with one person and grow from there.
