Becoming Muslim offers an illuminating dive into the transformative journeys of American Muslim converts, shedding light on the complexities, triumphs, and challenges they face. This unprecedented study, based on survey responses from 618 converts, unveils rich insights into their diverse demographics, childhood experiences, reasons for converting, and life after embracing Islam. From breaking stereotypes about their socioeconomic status to exploring their resilience in the face of societal and personal hurdles, the report paints a comprehensive picture of what it means to navigate life as a convert in America. Readers will uncover how Islam shapes converts’ relationships, family dynamics, and sense of belonging while highlighting the unique ways they enrich their communities. This report also challenges communities to rethink support structures for converts, urging a shift from a focus on initial conversion to sustained post-conversion care. It explores the vital role of mosques, imams, and Muslim friendships in providing spiritual and emotional grounding while addressing pressing concerns such as cultural inclusion, identity preservation, and the alleviation of religious doubts. With its data-driven insights and actionable recommendations, Becoming Muslim not only serves as a valuable resource for community leaders, researchers, and advocates but also offers inspiration and solidarity to converts themselves.

Our imams lead us in prayer, teach us our religion, officiate our marriages, preside over our final rites, and so much more. These religious leaders provide invaluable service to our communities, paving the way for the success of generations to come. But how well do you know your imam, or other religious leaders, in your community? What do they love about their job? What challenges do they face? How can each of us help them thrive? We surveyed 205 religious leaders in 2022, probing the demographics, job responsibilities, job satisfaction, finances, family life, mental health and well-being, and other aspects of personal and professional experiences of religious leaders in the United States and Canada. This report presents an analysis of the findings and recommendations for Muslim community builders — you — on how we can work collectively to support our religious leaders, strengthen our institutions, and safeguard our masajid from becoming places with “beautiful walls and empty halls”.

Religiosity is a multifaceted construct. It includes beliefs, emotions, behaviors, and interactions with a community. This report highlights Yaqeen’s new tool to measure Muslim religiosity, which we call BASIC.

BASIC stands for Beliefs, Attitudes, Spirituality, Institutional Connection, and Contribution. We believe BASIC holistically captures some of the major markers of religiosity. Throughout this report we highlight different aspects of Muslim religiosity worldwide, including how religiosity affects well-being and mental health, the prevalence of religious doubts, and demographic differences in religiosity and religious doubts.

Abstract

What does it mean to be religious? Religiosity includes more than believing in Allah or praying five times a day. In this chapter, we explain BASIC, our holistic measure of religiosity. We then investigate how religiosity influences the mental health and well-being of Muslims worldwide. We find that Muslims are generally religious, and that religiosity positively influences their lives. Religiosity is related to having a higher purpose in life, life satisfaction, and overall well-being. Additionally, religiosity is associated with lower levels of religious doubts, depression, and anxiety.

Chapter 1 The Impact of Muslim Religiosity on Well-Being Outcomes

Every generation grows up in a different historical context. The use of technology, such as smartphones, is a fundamental difference in how younger and older generations interact with the world. The modern world may also have additional intellectual challenges with the spread of liberal values. In such rapidly changing times, how does the faith of younger Muslims compare to their elders? Do they have more religious doubts? Do attitudes towards uncertainty have anything to do with differences in religiosity and religious doubts? In this chapter, we investigate these questions and find differences between age groups in religiosity, religious doubts, and attitudes towards uncertainty. Younger Muslims report lower levels of religiosity and higher levels of religious doubt. They also report lower levels of tolerating uncertainty in life, which relates to religiosity and religious doubts. However, their approach to understanding doubt is unique in that they view it as an opportunity to grow more than any other age group.
