Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution process designed to help you work out solutions and reach a settlement in a collabrative way to minimize legal costs and avoid going to court.
Med-Arb combines the best aspects of mediation and arbitration in an innovative stand-alone process providing a definitive outcome for the parties and is worth considering in almost any type of dispute.
Arbitration is a binding private and customized dispute resolution process that results in an enforceable decision, (Award), by your choice of decision maker, (the Arbitrator), in a more informal and flexible method compared to court.

I had a dispute with a business partner and our business relation ended but we didn’t end in an agreement. We had a a disagreement which continued months and speaking with different mediators and Imams didn’t solve it. Alhamdullilah I found Sulha Solutions and Imam Ibrahim Hussain and reached out to him regarding our dispute. We had our arbitration hearing and Alhamdullilah, the solution was provided and everyone’s rights where granted to them. The case was finally closed after months with everyone’s rights given to them. He is very educated, humble and assertive with the truth. From character and professionalism I am confident and happy for the service the Imam provides to the Muslim community. Baraka allahu fikum.
I found Sulha Solutions very helpful and efficient in dealing with a sensitive financial matter post divorce proceedings. Legal proceedings are very lengthy and costly, I felt Mr Ibrahim Hussain was understanding and fair to both sides.

I have known Shaykh Ibrahim for over 5 years and when he founded Sulha Solutions in 2019, I thought it was a great idea as there was no Muslim dispute resolution services that allowed Muslims to resolve their disputes in a fair, ethical and professional Islamic forum out of court. I never thought I would need to use their services but the need arose over a property dispute between family members. Shaykh Ibrahim was extremely helpful throughout the whole process by bringing all parties to the table and dealing with real estate lawyers to ensure that the funds were dispersed according to what was agreed upon following the successful mediation. I found Shaykh Ibrahim to be very professional, impartial, and diligent in the services that were provided with helpful resources that we could turn to for additional spiritual and conflict management advice. Keep up the great work and may Allah bless you for helping us. Show less

A few years ago, my wife, (now my ex-wife), presented false allegations against me for sexual assault. I had never experienced or gone through this kind of conflict in my life. I was completely shaken and my life had turned upside down. I had a lawyer, but I needed expert, emotional and professional conflict management counselling, advice and spiritual upliftment to fight the anxiety of this conflict that went on for many years. At the same time, my engineering job required me to continue to stay focussed at work on the ongoing projects to meet the challenges and deadlines. I was looking for a good source for the support that I needed. It was almost impossible for me to go ahead with life without the help from Shaykh Ibrahim Hussain from Sulha Solutions. This organization helped me embrace and manage this conflict, and with their exceptional conflict management counselling and consultations, I was able to achieve peace and vindication during this difficult case, and I resolved a major obstacle of conflict in my life. Sulha Solutions supported me from the beginning to the end of my dispute. Shaykh even came with me in the court room to give me moral support when it was my turn to testify to guide me through this conflict. I got a new hope and desire to progress in life and make new goals through this organization. Now I am married again after divorcing my previous wife, and I’m happily settling again with my new wife. I highly recommend Sulha Solutions and wish them all the best in continuing to guide and support people who are finding difficulties managing conflict in their lives across the world!

We had a contentious marital separation that we needed help with. We called Sulha Solutions and Ibrahim was able to quickly get both parties to the table (not an easy first step). He skillfully mediated an agreement in a matter of hours ensuring that both sides felt heard and acknowledged. The agreement came peacefully with respectful, focussed dialogue and a formal agreement was then written up for both parties to sign.
