Why this exists
Too many Muslim men are carrying anxiety, depression, loneliness, trauma, and even suicidal thoughts in silence.
Stigma, shame, and fear of judgement stop us from speaking, even to the brother sitting next to us in the masjid.
I’ve seen it. I’ve lived it.
My name is Raz, and The Muslim Man Club was built from my own experience.
Throughout my life I’ve had periods when everything felt like it was piling up at once. My dad left us, my closest cousin passed away. I’ve been navigating an ADHD diagnosis without anyone knowing and trying to make sense of how my mind worked, all while dealing with some of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. Then my mum’s eyesight deteriorating and my dad being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Alongside that came other pressures, responsibilities, and stresses that felt overwhelming. Like many men, I felt like I had to be strong and carry it all on my own.
I didn’t feel like I had a space where I could speak openly, be understood, or even admit I was struggling.
That silence is heavy.
And I know I’m not the only one carrying it.
So I built what I wish I had.
The Muslim Man Club is a space for Muslim men to be real, where you don’t have to pretend, perform, or suffer alone.
We provide safe, confidential spaces to talk, peer support from brothers who understand, faith-aligned guidance, and signposting to professional help when it’s needed.
We are not here to replace professional services, we’re here to bridge the gap between silence and seeking help.
We also recognise that some brothers experience the world differently, including those with ADHD, autism, or other forms of neurodivergence.
Our spaces are designed to be flexible, non-judgemental, and supportive of different ways of thinking, communicating, and processing emotions.
No pressure to speak. No expectations to fit a mould.
Just a space to be heard.
This is more than a service. It’s a brotherhood.
And it starts with one simple step, speaking.
— Raz, Founder

Get support
Three ways to reach us — pick the one that feels safest. You don't need to share your real name. You don't need to commit to anything.
Submit without your real name. An alias is fine. Email is optional — only needed if you want a reply.
We're launching our first weekly online circle soon, bi'idhnillah. Join the waitlist and we'll email you the moment the first one opens.
A brother from our team will call you privately, at a time you pick. No voicemails, no texts before the agreed time.
We are peer support — not a crisis line, not clinicians. If you are in immediate danger, please call 999 now.
How a circle works
Every circle follows the same simple format. No therapists. No fees. No judgement. Just men sitting in a room doing what men have done for centuries — speaking honestly to each other.
We go round the room. Each brother shares his name and one word for how he's arrived tonight.
Positives from the week. Something we're grateful for. Something we're struggling with. A win to celebrate. A commitment for the week ahead.
When a brother speaks, we listen. We don't interrupt. We don't offer advice unless he asks. Silence is respected.
We end every circle making du'a for each other — the way the Sahabah did.
Find a circle
We're starting online, so brothers anywhere can sit with us. Birmingham is launching first — date announced soon, in shaa Allah. London, Manchester, Leeds, and Bradford to follow. Join the waitlist and we'll tell you the moment one opens in your city.
Want to open a circle in your city? We train facilitators — no qualifications needed, just a brother willing to hold space.
