Ways we can work together

Pick one, or a few. Every masjid is different.

Dawah partnershipWe train your musallis and they become iERA volunteers. They run the stalls and classes in your area, with our training and support behind them.
Dawah training and workshopsOur trainers come to your masjid to train your volunteers, or we train online if no trainer is near you. Our trainers are volunteers too, so we agree dates together.
A Quran table at your masjidA table with Qurans and books, run by your volunteers, so visitors and neighbours who are not Muslim can take one home.
Open days and street dawahMasjid open days, and dawah tables in your local streets, run by your trained volunteers with our guidance.
New Muslim classes and Salah workshopsYou give the room. Your trained volunteers run the classes, using our course and with our support.
New Muslim supportWhen someone takes their shahadah at your masjid, pass their details to us (with their OK). Our volunteer support team gives them a mentor, classes and a welcome pack. More below.
Qurans and materialsWe order Qurans in bulk from overseas. Each Quran is $5, and delivery is about $100 for every 50 Qurans. We confirm the full price before you order.
Sponsorship or fundingYour masjid's donations help fund programs, events and Qurans in your area.

Supporting new Muslims, together

Taking shahadah is a beautiful beginning. The guidance, friendship and sense of belonging that come after make all the difference. We do not set up something separate from your masjid: we work alongside you, so new Muslims in your area, and in nearby towns, feel at home in your community.

iERA offers each new Muslim

  • A mentor of the same gender, who walks with them at their own pace
  • New Muslim classes, using our step-by-step course
  • Salah workshops, so they can pray with confidence
  • A free welcome pack
  • Training for your volunteers, so they can mentor and teach too

Your masjid

  • Passes on the details of anyone who takes shahadah (with their OK), so no one falls through the cracks
  • Welcomes them: a familiar face at Jumu'ah and an introduction to the community
  • Gives a room for classes, for brothers and for sisters
  • Hosts Eid gatherings and BBQs, so they feel they belong

What each side brings

Your musallis stay your musallis. They also become trained iERA volunteers.

iERA brings

  • 15 years of dawah worldwide, and new Muslim support know-how
  • Training for your volunteers, and refresher training after
  • A code of conduct and sign-up for every volunteer
  • Public liability insurance for street stalls under the iERA banner
  • Help getting council permission for street stalls
  • A stall kit for street stalls: banner and table cloth
  • Qurans bought in bulk, passed on at cost price
  • A support team for new Muslims: mentors, classes and a welcome pack

Your masjid brings

  • The volunteers: you invite your musallis through your WhatsApp groups and announcements
  • Promotion: you share the trainings on your masjid's social media, so people trust it and come along
  • One committee member as the contact person
  • A space for trainings, classes, workshops and gatherings
  • Funds for events, food and gatherings
  • Payment for the Qurans and materials you order, at cost price
Please know: iERA is a volunteer team

No one at iERA is paid, we have no buildings, and our funds are limited, so we do not have a team to send out day or night. The people who run things at your masjid will be your own musallis, trained by us. That is why your masjid shares the partnership in its WhatsApp groups and announcements: to find them. We bring the know-how; you bring the people, the place and the funds.

How it runs

Step 1: a simple agreementEvery partnership starts with a short written agreement (an MOU), signed by your committee and iERA. It sets out what each side does, so nothing is left to guesswork.
Step 2: street stalls carry the iERA bannerStalls run under iERA's name, banner, insurance and code of conduct.
Prefer to run things under your masjid's name?

That is fine, and your masjid does not miss out. Ask us about the options when we have our first chat.

For your youth

Have No Doubt

A free 2-hour session for students in Years 10 to 12 and at university. Before they step into uni life, they learn the basics of their faith, how to answer the questions they will be asked, and how to stay firm and proud of who they are.

Boys are taught by a male presenter and girls by a female presenter, in separate sessions, wherever we have a presenter in your state.

If you help Allah, He will help you and make your feet firm.Surah Muhammad 47:7

Questions people ask

Do I need my committee's approval first?

No. This form only tells us you are interested. Before anything starts, your committee and iERA sign a simple agreement (an MOU).

Will iERA send a team to run things?

No. iERA is run by volunteers and no one is paid. We train your musallis, and they run things at your masjid with our support.

What does it cost?

Training is free. Qurans are $5 each, with delivery about $100 for every 50, and other materials are at cost price. iERA Australia sends you an invoice. Events, food and gatherings are funded by the masjid.

Why are the Qurans not free?

Our Free Quran service sends single Qurans to people who are not Muslim, paid for by donations. For masjids we pass them on at what we pay the supplier, so those donations reach more people.

Who looks after the volunteers?

Every volunteer signs iERA's code of conduct and is trained by us. Your committee contact is the link between your masjid and iERA.

Is it only for masjids?

No. Schools, university groups, community groups and businesses work with us too.
