A note from us
Islam does not consider seeking help a weakness. The Prophet said: "Make use of medical treatment, for Allah has not made a disease without appointing a remedy for it." Your life has value. You are not a burden. Please reach out.
myhidayah is an educational platform and not a crisis service. In an emergency always call 999.
