EmpowHer Foundation
Mission Statement
At EmpowHer Foundation, our mission is to uplift, support, and empower women from all walks of life. We strive to provide a sanctuary where women feel heard, their struggles are acknowledged, and their journeys towards healing are supported. Our aim is to create a ripple effect of positive change that not only impacts the individual woman but also her family, community, and generations to come, inshā’Allāh.
Inspired by the teachings of Islam, we are grounded in the values of compassion, mercy, and solidarity. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ beautifully likened the believers to a single body:
“The believers, in their mutual kindness, compassion, and sympathy, are like one body. When one limb suffers, the whole body responds with wakefulness and fever.” (Sahih Muslim)
EmpowHer Foundation is not just a service; it is an act of Sadaqah Jāriyah, a continuous charity whose rewards multiply as its impact spreads. By supporting the women and mothers of this Ummah, we honour their pivotal roles as nurturers and leaders, ensuring they receive the care and guidance they need. As the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ reminded us:
“Paradise lies under the feet of mothers.” (Sunan an-Nasā’ī)
When we empower a mother, we empower future generations. When we uplift a sister, we uplift an entire community. Through this work, we aim to fulfil Allah’s command:
“The believers are but brothers (and sisters), so make reconciliation between your brothers and sisters and fear Allah that you may receive mercy.” (Qur’an 49:10)
Every call we answer, every story we hear, and every soul we comfort is a step towards building a legacy of healing, resilience, and faith that transcends the challenges of today.
Mental Health and Wellbeing: Breaking the Stigma
Mental health is an essential part of a person’s overall well-being, yet it is often shrouded in stigma within our communities. Many women suffer in silence, fearing judgment or misunderstanding, and are made to feel as though seeking help is a weakness.
At EmpowHer Foundation, we are committed to dismantling these harmful attitudes and fostering an environment where seeking support is seen as a courageous act of self-care and growth. Islam teaches us to care for our physical, emotional, and spiritual health, recognising that balance is integral to our existence. Allah reminds us in the Qur’an:
“Indeed, We have created man in the best of stature.” (Qur’an 95:4)
Mental health challenges are not a sign of weak faith or failure but a part of the human condition. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ emphasised the importance of seeking remedies, saying:
“Allah has not sent down a disease except that He has also sent its cure.” (Sahih Bukhari)
At EmpowHer Foundation, we provide a space where women can speak freely about their struggles without fear of judgment. We remind our sisters that Allah does not burden any soul beyond its capacity:
“Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.” (Qur’an 2:286)
Through compassionate listening, resources, and guidance, we aim to help women recognise their strength, reconnect with their faith, and embrace the process of healing.
Serving Humanity: Compassion for All Women
At EmpowHer Foundation, our compassion extends beyond the Ummah. While our work is deeply inspired by Islamic values, our hearts are open to all women, regardless of faith, ethnicity, or background. Every woman who reaches out to us is seen as a sister in humanity, united by the dignity Allah has granted to all His creation:
“Indeed, We have honoured the children of Adam.” (Qur’an 17:70)
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ set the perfect example of mercy and kindness, demonstrating the importance of serving all people. He ﷺ said:
“The best of people are those who are most beneficial to others.” (Sunan al-Kubra)
We understand that women from all walks of life face unique challenges, whether it be societal expectations, cultural barriers, or personal trauma. At EmpowHer Foundation, we are committed to providing a safe and inclusive space where every woman feels valued, supported, and respected. As the Prophet ﷺ advised:
“Be merciful to those on the earth, and the One above the heavens will have mercy upon you.” (Sunan at-Tirmidhī)
We believe that by embracing diversity and extending our compassion to all women, we are embodying the universal mercy of Islam. Whether Muslim or non-Muslim, every woman who calls us is welcomed with warmth, care, and a genuine desire to help.
A Ripple Effect of Hope and Healing
At EmpowHer Foundation, we believe that when a woman is supported emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, she becomes a source of strength and positivity for those around her. A healed woman nurtures a healthy family, a resilient community, and an inspired generation.
Our mission is a collective effort of love, compassion, and service. By normalising conversations about mental health, providing spiritual guidance, and fostering emotional resilience, we are planting seeds of hope for a brighter future.
With every interaction, we pray that our efforts will be accepted by Allah as a source of continuous good in this world and the Hereafter.
