A Mosque’s Restorative Justice Program | Winnipeg News

In Winnipeg, a mosque is turning heads—not just as a place of worship, but as a beacon of healing. Masjid Bilal’s restorative justice program, led by Imam Muhaidin Omar, offers a compassionate alternative to traditional courts for newcomers struggling with trauma, isolation, and legal trouble. Through community service, mental health support, and personalized accountability, participants like Francis—who avoided a criminal record and rebuilt his life—are proving this model works. Recognized by Manitoba’s Restorative Justice branch, the program has helped over thirty people in five years, all while running on volunteer power and minimal funding. Imam Omar believes scaling this up could transform communities—making them safer, stronger, and more connected. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
