Testimonials

NMFAS is a fantastic resource for Muslims across the UK. It aims to provide useful information in an easy-to-understand format for people who are going through the most difficult time. We should all try to support this effort in every possible way.

NMFAS is a valuable resource for the UK muslim community. We recently suffered the bereavement of a terminally ill parent and found the NMFAS website to be a great source of guidance, covering complex issues in simple and concise terms. The website enabled us to plan ahead and put in place funeral planning arrangements which meant we were able to concentrate on looking after our loved one at a very difficult time. Much respect and prayers for the the individuals who established NMFAS.

I just wanted to say how useful this resource was. I was confused about the process but it is now much clearer. Thanks so much for making this resource.
