A strong Muslim community preparing generations of leaders contributing to prosperity for all Canadians.
The Helping Hands Ladies Society is a long-standing volunteer organization rooted at Al Rashid Mosque and guided by the leadership of Muslim women, many of whom have served their community for decades. Grounded in Islamic values and a deep ethic of care, the Society has played a quiet yet powerful role in shaping the social and cultural fabric of Edmonton.
Led primarily by senior women, the Helping Hands Ladies Society reflects a model of service built on consistency, compassion, and presence. Their work is not defined by short-term programs, but by relationships, showing up for individuals and families across generations, and responding where support is needed most.
The purpose of the Helping Hands Ladies Society is to serve the community through faith-informed compassion, advocacy, and care. The Society focuses on supporting women, seniors, newcomers, families, and neighbours, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, through acts of service that promote dignity, connection, and well-being.
This work is rooted in the belief that faith is lived through action, and that communities are strengthened when care is offered generously and consistently, especially to those who may feel isolated or vulnerable.
In recognition of this legacy, the Society has been formally acknowledged as a recipient of the Northern Lights award for its advocacy, religious service, cultural outreach, and humanitarian support, reflecting the meaningful role it has played across the region.
