Beyond the Shahada: Why Our Support for Converts Must Go Further with Josh

What happens after someone embraces Islam? In this episode, Josh - founder of Convert Collective - shares his powerful journey of hiding his faith, navigating community isolation, and the emotional realities of being a Muslim convert in the West.

We discuss the spiritual highs, the burnout, and the friendships that helped him hold on. Hosted by Hana (Psychologist) and Ahmed (Community Organiser), this conversation is an honest look at the gaps in support and the deep need for care that goes beyond the Shahada moment.
