One of the greatest problem facing reverts is the lack of follow-up. In the Prophet’s (Peace be upon him time), converts were integrated into the Muslim community and way of life with the full support of the community.

Today, reverts are congratulated and left to fend for themselves. As a result, when many are faced with difficulties, they revert to their former faiths, if they do not find support from the Muslim community. In the West, there is a big need for institutions and Muslim social workers to cater to the needs of the new converts.
