How Can I Support Others Facing Illness? | GLM Cancer Support

The Power of Supporting Others

At Green Lane Masjid, we believe that one of the greatest acts of worship is helping someone in need. Whether you’re supporting a loved one, a friend, or someone in your community facing illness, your compassion has a deep and lasting impact — both in this life and the next.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“And whoever helps ease a difficulty in the world, Allah will grant him ease from a difficulty in the world and in the Hereafter. “ (Sahih)

How You Can Contribute Positively ?

Even small acts of kindness carry immense value in Islam. Here are a few meaningful ways to support those who are unwell:

1. Offer Genuine Advice

If you’ve faced similar challenges, your insight and guidance can provide comfort and strength.

2. Share Your Story

Letting someone know they’re not alone can be a powerful source of hope.

3. Make Du’a for Them

Never underestimate the power of sincere prayer. Ask Allah ﷻ to grant them healing and ease.

4. Be There Emotionally

A listening ear and heartfelt empathy often mean more than words.

5. Guide Them to Support Services

Point them towards helpful organisations, like GLM Cancer Support, where they can find practical and spiritual assistance.

Allah Loves Those Who Help Others

The Prophet ﷺ reminded us that Allah loves those who assist their brothers and sisters in need. Whether it’s emotional support, a helpful resource, or a silent du’a, your effort is recorded and rewarded.

In times of hardship, the bond of the Muslim community shines brightest. Your presence could be the reason someone finds hope, peace, or clarity.

GLM Cancer Support – Together in Faith and Compassion

If you know someone facing a serious illness, encourage them to reach out to our team at GLM Cancer Support Service. Our goal is to provide faith-led care, emotional support, and spiritual reminders rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah. InshaAllah

May Allah ﷻ make us a source of comfort for others, and may He ease the burdens of all those who are unwell. Ameen.
