- We recognise the important role that spiritual wellbeing plays for Muslim communities in achieving mental wellness – as a result, CMW will focus on creating more culturally-appropriate services and support to ensure this spiritual wellbeing is front-of mind
- It acknowledges the importance of Ummah, or ‘community’ – this is its driving force and will ensure that its services are appropriate to all Muslim communities regardless of background or origin and moves away from just considering the individual to looking at the community that surrounds them
- It is run by Muslims, for Muslims, and will therefore act as a bridge into communities which would otherwise not be open to providers of mental health and wellbeing services
- highlight our culturally responsive professionals
- give the community options to choose appropriate therapists
- facilitate a network of culturally responsive practitioners

ا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
Allah does not burden a person with something more than he can bear
(Surah Al-Baqarah 2:286)
If you have the intentions to do all the activities in Ramadan such as fasting, tarawih, etc and cant attend for health reasons, the fact that you have the intentions to do these, Allah swt with still reward you. And what is better often is the intention matters more then the action as the intentions is hidden and between you and Allah swt.
In Ramadan we don't only rely on our actions, we rely on Allah swt Mercy, so when you cant do the ibadah you intend to, remember Allah swt Mercy is what permits and rewards this.

And whoever has tawakkul in Allah, He is sufficient for them.” [65:3]
Tawakkul in Allah, translated, is having full hope in Him, or placing your reliance in God.
During Ramadan lets internalise these comforting words of the Quran and make dua for the ummah. May Allah swt grant healing to all those who are suffering from mental ill health, and physical ailments.
May He grant us ease and the strength to get through difficulties and find reliance on HIM (Tawwakul)
