Testimonials From Revert Women

Solace is a registered charity helping revert women in difficulty and supporting new Muslim women beyond the shahada for over a decade, and their testimonials speak volumes about our impact.

Here is what they are saying about Solace:

“Before becoming Muslim, I was an atheist. Since embracing Islam, I've taken many risks, and each has been greatly rewarding. Before receiving support from Solace, I was incredibly harsh on myself, punishing myself for things like being late and feeling like a failure. Now, I have a much healthier relationship with myself. As for my relationship with Allah (SWT), though I'm struggling with salah, Solace has helped me put things into perspective. My connection with Allah has grown immensely, as my understanding of Islam has deepened. It’s been a beautiful journey. JazakAllah khayr—without Solace, I don't know where I'd be, but it wouldn't have been a good place, and Allah knows best.”

- Sasha

“Before receiving support, I felt lost and struggled with the challenges posed by my family’s Islamophobia, which complicated our relationships. The support I received helped me feel understood and allowed me to shift my mindset. Throughout this journey, I also grew closer to Allah and strengthened my faith. I now find it easier to communicate with my family, and our relationship has improved. They are still adjusting, and we occasionally face challenges, but I’ve learned effective ways to navigate difficult conversations and maintain positivity. As a result, I’m feeling much better mentally. JazakAllah khair for all your support; it has truly transformed my life.”

- Rachel

“Initially, I hesitated to seek help, but I am so glad I did. I was able to explore my understanding of Islam with my support worker, and I learnt that many of the solutions to my problems can be found in Islam. Because of these support sessions, my fear of wearing the hijab has reduced, and I plan to wear it soon. May Allah (SWT) always bless Solace so we can turn to it when needed.”

- Aisha

"Before receiving financial support from Solace, I was on the brink with my finances, in a very difficult situation with my little one. This support was a huge blessing from Allah, and I couldn't be more grateful for it, especially for its perfect timing. I needed to provide for us to meet our basic needs, such as shelter and food."

- Imani

“The quality of support was so amazing and free! I have paid for other mental health support previously and they have not even matched 10% of the support Solace has provided.”

- Pamela

“I contacted Solace during Ramadan. As it was my first time observing Ramadan and I was struggling, I needed someone to talk to. My medication made fasting difficult due to dehydration, which led me to doubt my faith. I was also dealing with personal struggles, making it a challenging period. My support worker was compassionate and understanding, helping me reconnect with my faith. Alhamdulillah, I am now in a much better place. Jazak Allah to my sisters in Solace for all their support!”

- Anastasia

"I’ve received debt relief which has relieved a huge burden. The support I’ve received is truly getting me through a dark period of my life."

- Haneefah E.

"I attended the Eid event organised by Solace. You will never be alone once you meet the sisters. You have sisters and best friends for life now."

- Fatima

"The Dorset retreat was the perfect preparation for Ramadan, allowing me to tune in with myself and connect more deeply with Allah (SWT). I loved the interactive workshops, and it was emotional to hear the experiences of the other sisters. The location and venue were also lovely. The pampering session was such a delightful surprise! The schedule was perfectly balanced, with time to reflect, connect with other sisters, and benefit from the Islamic workshops.I left with inner peace and am truly grateful for the opportunity to experience so many blessings during the retreat."

- Fatima

“Attending the retreat was truly an inspirational experience. The host and volunteers were warm and welcoming. The setting was cosy and comfortable, and we were cared for with great kindness. I left the retreat feeling uplifted, motivated, and more connected to my faith. I believe I am entering Ramadan feeling ready, confident, and equipped with the tools to make the most of it, in sha Allah. I would highly recommend this retreat to any sister looking for support and a strong sense of sisterhood. Alhamdulilah.”

- Amina

“This retreat has awakened me spiritually in ways I did not expect. Through the workshops with sister Aliyah, she has such a profound ways with words and changing one's perspective. I appreciate the sisterhood and bounds that was created during the retreat. I enjoy the laugh, and vulnerability we shared. Apart from the workshops, I enjoyed the pampering session and the unstoppable laughter during the pampering session.”
