Islamic Counselling, Guidance & Support

Everything was done perfectly in a professional and islamic manner. I would reccommend it to all couples about to get married or seeking marital guidance.

Everything was amazing, the Imam was extremely helpful and honest with me. I do not have a person in my life whom I can trust and get Islamic advice from , so speaking with the Imam was very reassuring. He has kept me accountable and also reached out to ensure my state of mind/life. I truly advise any brother or sister who is struggling to seek out help at the masjid. My issues were sensitive and embarrassing however the Imam created such a gentle environment that I could approach him multiple times and resolve my concerns in a way that still allows me to be the best Muslim I can be, while also protecting my mental and physical health.

I am so thankful of both Maulana Mushtaq and sister Khadijah. They have helped me so much. Sister Khadijah is always there when you have any questions, she’s always answered when I needed help. Maulana Mushtaq has provided counselling for me for my personal issues as well as marriage counselling and has helped me improve my relationship and mental wellbeing. I thank Allah I’ve met them and have them whenever I need! Please don’t hesitate to speak with them regarding any issues, I’ve sent many people to them and they all agree as well, that these two people are very great and helpful mashaAllah.

I am born and raised in Canada and married for a number of years with various marital challenges along the way. I had been working with my therapist for some time and she recommended that I speak to Imam Mushtaq at Masjid Bilal to help with some issues concerning my husband (who would often hold the religion card with me). My session with Imam Mushtaq gave me so much insight into the Prophetic guidance regarding rights of spouses and how to deal with family dynamics in our current day and age and culture. I highly recommend marital or family counseling with Imam Mushtaq.

Alhumdulillah I had a positive experience with Imam Mushtaq. He listened and gave advice as needed. He was very approachable and easy to book time with. May Allah bless him and reward him for all of his efforts.

As a sister, I have struggled within our Muslim spaces to find brothers who truly listen to women’s voices, concerns, and the challenges we face due to misguided individuals within the community. ……………………I am deeply grateful for the support he (Imam Mushtaq) has provided and continues to provide. Sister Khadijah is also wonderful, and everyone I have referred to them has had nothing but positive things to say about how warmly they were received and treated by the staff. May Allah reward everyone In the masjid who works diligently with compassion and care to provide help to the community ameen

We have had great marital counselling sessions with Imam Mushtaq. We learned a lot, and we often trace back to his counselling and words of wisdom whenever we might be lost in our marriage.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to Shaykh Mushtaq for the time he invested in counselling and guiding me in the family matter that I approached him with. The Shaykh dealt with my sensitive issue outstandingly according to the Islamic principles, listened to me carefully, and advised me to the best of his ability. I had 2 in-person meetings with the Shaykh, one of them being urgent for which he made himself available with a very short notice. I also called Shaykh Mushtaq for other issues. He has always been extremely helpful. Jazaahu Allaahu khayran.May Allaah reward the Shaykh and all the team for guiding and teaching the ummah! Allaahumma Aameen!

Bilal masjid has been a massive support for me

I'm grateful for the support I have received from Shaykh Mushtaq Shaikh. I was undergoing my divorce case at the ………………. I had a burden to unload and because of my shame and sense of isolation, I did not know who to confide and get help from. I remembered having listened to a divorce webinar with the shaykh sometime ago from …………………….. online and having deliberated that I wanted to be released, I sought the shaykh out after feeling like I had an important update in the marital proceeding……. I am a convert sister and I hope to re-marry insha Allah. May Allah honor and elevate Shaykh Mushtaq and those who support those in difficult times.

I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the support I received from Sheikh Mushtaq and the entire team. As a convert in Islam, living in Canada without my family nearby, I went through an incredibly difficult period where I was facing deep personal problems. Being able to speak with Sheikh Mushtaq was a true turning point for me. His kindness and his willingness to listen without judgment provided me with immense relief. It was so important for me to be heard by a religious authority who understood my struggles. This support truly healed and soothed my heart, *Alhamdulillah*….The Imam and the entire team are incredible, dynamic, welcoming, and truly dedicated to helping the community grow together. Thank you for being the place for those of us who sometimes feel alone. May Allah swt bless your efforts and reward you all with the best, and grants you of the highest level of jannah without any judgment. Jazakallah khair
