Community Support Initiatives
At the Garden City Mosque, we are committed to providing a wide range of support services to our community, guided by Islamic values of compassion, care, and justice.
Domestic Violence Support
Domestic violence (DV) is contrary to the teachings of Islam and the example of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

- Temporary accommodation, counselling, and other forms of support are available for victims.
- Our Imam offers spiritual guidance and emotional comfort to those affected.
Support for Refugees and Families
- We provide temporary financial assistance to families experiencing hardship or low income.
- Refugees and newly arrived individuals are supported with essential services, including job placement assistance.
Support for Reverts
- Reverts to Islam receive special care, including Islamic education and spiritual guidance, to help them integrate smoothly into the community.
- Our Imam offers spiritual guidance and emotional comfort to the new bees.
Counselling
- Our Imam offers confidential counselling services to individuals and families in need of guidance and support.
