Faith-informed counseling
Several Muslim mental health networks offer professional counseling that respects Islamic values. We do not endorse any single provider, but a search for "Muslim mental health counseling" along with your city will surface reputable options. Your local masjid or Islamic center may also have referrals.
Hayaa is not a crisis service
The app, the AI companion (Rafiq / Rafiqa), and the community are not designed to handle medical or psychological emergencies. They are not a substitute for professional help. If you are in crisis, the resources on this page should come first.
