Journey in Brotherhood
For this webinar, we our joined by brother Sidqie who’s life changed when he heard his long time friend say:
“You should have reached out to me, brother. I would have come and we could’ve talked.”
He replied, “You should have too, bro. I had no idea you were thinking of suicide back then.”
They were close friends. They’d meet regularly over coffee or tea, or have dinners with other brothers. They were active in the same community organization. But they hid parts of themselves that were struggling. It took them 15 years before they shared their deeper battles with one another.
In today’s world, Muslim men – in particular husbands and fathers face a unique set of challenges.
Between balancing personal & family responsibilities, career demands, it can feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Sometimes that weight gets heavier and the journey feels lonely.

Journey in Brotherhood is more than just a support group, it is a safe, judgment-free space where Muslim men come together to share, reflect, and support each other. It is a place where they can set aside their daily “masks,” drop the expectations, and connect on a level that is deeply personal and meaningful.
Sidqie hopes to build a network of heart-centred leaders and men who want to elevate their roles as husbands, fathers, and leaders in their communities.

As someone who has faced the painful journey of divorce, Sidqie knows all too well the weight of isolation. In the aftermath, he found himself caught in a cycle of depression, which lead to lost of income and uprooted him from a place that he called home for most of my life. He felt he had to project strength to the world around him, to appear as though he had all the answers, even while he was struggling deeply inside.
Sidqie describes how he witnessed first hand the struggles men endure in silence. His own father, who faced his battles quietly, believing it was his duty to bear the weight alone. Sidqie lost friends to suicide, men who couldn’t find a way out of their loneliness and pain. And over time, he became a listening ear for other men who were quietly navigating their own life challenges, often feeling they had no one to turn to.
This journey led himto a deeper understanding of the urgent need for safe spaces where men, particularly Muslim men, can connect, express, and heal. We welcome Sidqie in this webinar to understand how and why he creates safe spaces for men.
