As many of you already know, I am struggling to keep a roof over my head.

I am about to become homeless as I already went to the court hearing over rent arrears. Before you judge me just know that I did what I could to try and prevent it but it happened anyway.

Common stereotypes of homeless people- they drink, they do drugs, they're lazy- I do not fit these stereotypes. I've never drank alcohol in my lifetime, I don't do drugs and I've continuously job searched and been ignored by most job applications or rejected after having job interviews. My family let me down because our rent was high and they expected me to pay the rent for the whole household on my own. As you can see, it has been a sad and unfair situation.

I've reached out to my council and I am still trying to get help like temporary accommodation from them but it's hard or almost impossible to get a council house when you're in rent arrears especially if you're not a British citizen so I don't know what will happen. I feel scared especially since I'm a woman and it's winter...

Someone suggested I try to get help from a Sunni mosque or charity since they have the biggest charities amongst Muslims. My question is, would it be wrong for a Qur'an alone Muslim to seek help be it accommodation or zakaat charity from a Sunni mosque?


'These are the verses of Allah which We recite to you in truth. Then in what statement (hadith) after Allah and His verses will they believe? (45:6)'
