Testimonials

Attending the ghusl and shrouding workshop with Supporting Humanity was honestly beyond what words can fully describe.🥹

This was something I had always wanted to learn, especially after the passing of my sister. At the time, I wasn’t able to be there or understand the full process—I could only witness it over Zoom during COVID, in another country. That experience stayed with me, and it made me realise how unprepared we often are for the one thing that is promised for every soul: death. We plan so much for life’s events, yet this is something we rarely prepare for.

This workshop changed that for me.

Not only was the ghusl and shrouding process explained clearly and thoroughly, but the sisters delivered it with such care, sensitivity, and deep awareness of how emotional and personal this experience is—especially for grieving families. The leaflet provided, outlining the Islamic protocols of burial, was also incredibly helpful and something I will always keep close.

What truly stood out was the compassion and intention behind the sisters leading the session. It wasn’t just about learning a process—it was about خدمة (service), dignity, and honouring our loved ones in the most beautiful and respectful way.

After attending, I’ve wholeheartedly made the intention that this is something I want and need to do. While I couldn’t do this for my own sister, I hope to be able to do it for someone else’s sister, mother, or loved one. I pray it becomes a means of sabr and healing for me, and a خدمت to others.

A huge thank you to the entire Supporting Humanity team and the incredible sisters who led the workshop. I’m truly grateful, and I look forward to the opportunity to support in this work soon, insha’Allah.

Lovely workshop the sisters were amazing. I feel so honoured to be there they do this with such love and passion that makes you fall in love with all the process. Hats off to you all may Allah reward you and your families in this world and the hereafter

This workshop was highly informative with Tahreen, Sophie, and the team sharing extensive and valuable details. I truly appreciated the insightful information and demonstration provided. It was exceptionally beneficial. I strongly encourage you to visit Tower Hamlets and deliver this valuable session to the community here.

The workshop was informative and thorough. All the sisters were very helpful in the demonstration.

There are no words that can truly express our gratitude to Brother Idris for being there for my family during one of the darkest moments of our lives, after the loss of my brother at just 39 years old.

In a time filled with grief and shock, Brother Idris showed us genuine compassion, kindness, and sincerity. His support was not only practical, but deeply human — something we will never forget.

It is people like you who remind us of the الخير that still exists in the world. May Allah abundantly reward you for your intentions, your efforts, and the comfort you bring to families in pain.

Please continue this important work. There are so many who need someone like you, just as we did.
