Our resources page is designed to provide the support and information you need. Here, you will find a variety of leaflets offering guidance on a range of topics, from understanding palliative care to preparing for the future, from recommendations for palliative care to advice on funeral preparations and caring for loved ones. Additionally, we offer information leaflets specifically designed to support healthcare professionals in caring for Muslim patients.
In times of terminal illness, both patients and their families face many challenges and questions
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, (peace be upon him) “Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection" Sahih Bukhari 2442
In this spirit, we offer these resources to provide comfort, support, and valuable information to those in need.
Our leaflets cater to patients, families, and healthcare professionals, ensuring that everyone involved has access to the support they need. Whether you are seeking practical advice, emotional support, or spiritual guidance, we hope these resources will be a source of strength and comfort during this difficult time.
