We need your help urgently to maintain our services and programs. Please consider helping us during this crucial time. You can make a difference in the lives of hundreds of students in Canada. Perhaps even save a life.
The university environment can be a very difficult transition for students, including Muslims.
Many suffer from anxiety, stress, loneliness, depression, and some even have suicidal thoughts. Many people struggle emotionally and spiritually. According to a recent CBC article, 44% of students reported that at some point during their university experience they felt so depressed that they thought it was extremely hard for them to function and to study. According to another study, 1 out of every 4 Canadians is expected to experience a mental challenge during their lifetime, and most of these mental challenges occur from the age of 17 till 24. The university experience without the proper support and help can be an extremely difficult one for students.
And that's where the Muslim Chaplaincy comes in. The Muslim Chaplaincy offers dedicated spiritual guidance, support, counseling, in addition to educational services, to help the students navigate the university experience.
Distant from many mosques and many community centers, Muslim students sometimes have no one to ask for help when they need it, and that's where our chaplains are on the ground offering them the support and the help they need. Just in one semester, our three chaplains can offer more than 250 confidential one on one sessions with students.
The work of our chaplains is not just limited to counseling sessions, our chaplains help to build a healthy community that's built with love and compassion. On a weekly basis, our chaplains offer classes and discussion circles that act as a safe space for students to come together, share their experiences, and connect with one another.
There are over 10,000 students across the four campuses where we offer our services. University of Toronto San George, Mississauga, Scarborough, and Ryerson University. There's a lot of the Muslim Chaplaincy to do, and that's why we need your support.

Each session varies in approach depending on the individual, and all sessions are kept confidential. Everyone is welcome at the Muslim Chaplaincy, and we will do our best to be of service to the students. If a matter is beyond the scope of faith-based counseling, we refer the students to the best and most appropriate avenues for help and assistance.
The generosity of supporters such as yourself is crucial to our ability to meet our needs. One of the donations will fulfill our immediate goal, while ongoing monthly support is crucial to our long term sustainability.
The donations will be used to:
Here are some testimonials about The Muslim Chaplaincy of Toronto.
Professor of Theology | Western University

"Like many other Muslims, I often struggle to reconcile between conflicting forces in my life. As students still in our formative years, we are learning just as much about the world and ourselves as we are about our respective fields. The Muslim Chaplaincy has helped to bridge the gap between foundational Islamic knowledge and today's university student. Upon discovering it, I found a space where I can connect with and learn from others regarding how to engage many relevant and intersectional issues. Ustadh Amjad Tarsin has inspired me through both guidance and example, all in a way that reflects prophetic character. Being the new generation, we are taking on important responsibilities. We desperately need the support to carry our great community forward, and the MC plays a crucial role in providing it."
