    *Since I was a child, I was abused physically, emotionally, mentally and neglected by my own family. At the same time I was used in many ways. I was always the black sheep within my family. Even two members of my family attempted to sexually abuse me but Allah protected me Ahamdulillah. I tried to speak to many but I realised when you're suffering, you suffer alone and cry alone in the bathroom trying to hide so you feel bathroom is where I cannot be seen or heard while you open the water and it makes sounds so people assume you're having a bath. I lived like this till my marriage separated me and that's when I got my soul mate who really cares about me. Allah will always never Leave you and one day you'll get someone who will comfort you, give a shoulder to cry on. Keep Allah first make ALLAH AND PROPHET MUHAMMAD PBUH AS YOUR BEST FRIENDS, I MEAN THE REAL LOVE TO THEM and I believe your life will change and don't worry for your past because WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.

      Abuse is wrong I condemn it in every interpretations of the word, but why would someone leave Islam if they’re being abused? Does Islam condone this? If not, why would Islam be blamed for it?
      And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Fear Allaah with regard to women, for you have taken them as a trust from Allaah and intimacy with them has become permissible to you by the words of Allaah. Your right over them is that they should not allow anyone to sit on your furniture whom you dislike; if they do that then hit them but not in a harsh manner. And their right over you is that you should provide for them and clothe them on a reasonable basis.” Narrated by Muslim, 1218. Islam is the most just religion, and if u attribute unjustness to Allah, u have committed kufr

    I went to a local masjid and was almost brought to tears that there was a sign in the women restrooms in the stalls, posters about a abuse, letting them know what abuse is, and the statistics and how to get help. They couldn't put it anywhere else. Also in the case of reverts, I had a really good friend who was married after converting and having her husband leave the country and basically telling her she was like a temporary place holder until he could go back home. She came home to an empty home one day after 1 year of marriage, no goodbyes ,nothing. She was so embarrassed because she obviously didn't have family support. She is no longer muslim.

    It's indeed a great topic that needs to definitely be discussed. The part that really got me thinking was how dare humans oppress people with backing from Allah. I mean when Allah never refuses the prayer of an oppressed person subhanallah.
    However this isn't limited to women. The fact is whenever people are allowed to go away with something, it flourishes. There is a greater stigma with men speaking up. It's considered shameful or unmanly for a man to talk about how his wife is treating him. So maybe we aren't hearing more from men not because they aren't also suffering but the systems makes it difficult.
    Most of the examples and the talks centered on men being the perpetuators. There's nothing inherent about men doing these. The truth is there also need to be programs dedicated for men to speak together and change how society is defining how women are to be treated.

      There are good and bad women everywhere. There are women who abuse their sons and then they go into marraige messed up. Many women also say you do no good to husbands in hormonal fits and don't control themsleves. the Sunnah teaches us we are different to be a team and not abuse each other. there are many messed up extremists and even liberal feminist ideas that push problesm.The blance is in the Sunnah and then expanding based on that. Nsha Allah we need to have taqwa and be good brothers and sisters and empwoer and aid one another as a general commnity as well. Before that Taqhid and Aqidah is linked to secuirty like Quran 24,55! while sufi and shia grave worship is linked to colonization.

    Thank u for sharing this and raising awareness about a topic that many people wont talk about because of the ramifications on social strata, power dynamics and control within the community and in families. Abuse is really about control and even realising that u are being abused threatens the abuser's power over u and triggers their rage, which is why many people prefer to keep quiet about it. Some even blame the victim for "misbehaving". Stay strong and know that Allah loves u.

The dawa of Tawhid, Aqida Manhaj and taqwa at that level should enter as well as at the family level. the bidah blind following of sufis and shias have to be taught ebcause there bida isn't in Quran and Sunnah.

    It's really sad when people blame the victim of sexual abuse for example. The Ummah need to learn to come to the victim's defence instead of shaming her. Because Islam does not allow the mistreatment of women. We are human beings. We breath, we cry, we bleed, we have emotions. If no one is going to think about our sisters, if no one will defend our sisters, who will?..

    First of all, sisters may Allah bless you all thousands of times! I am sure it takes a lot of strength and courage to open up to such sensitive topics and so bravely talk about it without filter.
    The abuse, to any form it might be, goes on both sides. But truth is that it is the sisters and the children that suffer the most out of the hands and tongues of men. And that is a real shame.
    We men, need to learn, not only by the tongue, the teaching of our beloved Prophet by the actions.
    Any act that disregards, disrespects, dishonors, diminishes, disvalues women should never be tolerated in our community. And what's worse is that it very often comes from the people you expect less would do that to you.
    I pray Allah to grant us the wisdom the treat our women the best of ways that Satisfy Allah. To the victims of any form of abuse, May Allah give them the strength to overcome their pain and have a normal life.

    No disrespect to any imams or "so called leaders" many are not to be referred to in issues like this as many are unqualified to deal with these affairs. Not everyone who leads prayer or is someone who memories the quran should be referred to as a leader. We need to raise awareness about who we should approach in situations like this. There also needs to be training for new leaders in these affairs.

      That's the problem. We dont acknowledge that this stuff happens! It does. There was a woman who was married and the imam of her mosque pursued her and raped her. Got her pregnant and she didnt know how to tell her husband because she knew she would be blamed. This stuff happens all the time. There was another girl who lived with her sister and her sisters husband. She was a young teen by the way. Every time her sister would go to work the husband would sweet talk the girl and touch her and asked her to sit on his lap. Next thing you know she is pregnant and she doesn't even know how because she is so naive to not realize she was being groomed and abused. But rather than confess to his crimes the husband told her to get an abortion.

    Can say that as a convert and or revert however you want to phrase it when they started and he talked about how the religion being used it to harm. That was my experience it'll be two years since my conversion a my husband's in from Senegal. He also has a wife and Senegal and he compared me to her regularly even though she's young enough to be my daughter he emotionally abused he verbally abused me and attempted to physically abused me but I'm not having that I'm an American I'm black American the the emotional abuse was enough I felt trapped felt I felt trapped by his ideal that I'm Muslim and he's my husband but I a lot gave me the strength to not pursue him as that was the multiple times he had walked out on our marriage. I felt this pull to Islam for a long time but I wouldn't come because I said me and use it as a way to oppress women and so when I found myself in that situation I was devastated and I was ready to leave I was crying I wasn't praying I was depressed and I wanted to leave because I was so hurt I was so hurt by The experience so when they said they spoke about that I felt what they were saying because I lived it. I just recently found out my husband gave me HPV which is a sexually transmitted my doctor explained to me I got it from him and she knew how hard it would be for me to hear that I'm 53 years old and I've been going to see them as a patient since I was twenty-three years old my husband gave me this I know because I was faithful and I was celibate before I married him but I continue to go to the doctor on a regular basis so I know that I did not have this before received this shocking medical news the last day of Ramadan

    So what is the point of taking an issue to the leaders? What type of REAL punishment can they enforce on the man? Are they going to beat his ass? If not, then it's all B.S. to protect the man and absolve him of his bad behavior. Call the cops so the man can go to jail and jail is not punishment enough. The man should be beat for as long as he was abusing his wife and children and on top of that spend time in prison time. If these women who are being abused are living in the U.S. and not taking advantage of law enforcement available to them then they are to blame for not protecting themselves and their children.

    To be honest the topic you are talking about is yes exist in foreigne countries but not Arab Muslims specifically in Gulf countries Alhamedule Allah, our leaders will never ever shut their mouths for any acases or stand by the side of the oppressor. My experience with leaders abroad shock me! I live for 5 years and when I seek help or advice from imams it was horrific!!!!!! I never experienced such in my home country. Alhamedule Allah our leaders well educated in their deen, they know what abuse is! They know what oppression meant! And they will never hide the truth for the sake of any one. They exactly know their duties. Again my experience was the worst with seeking imams or sheikhs abroad because of lack of deen knowledge regardless of their titles. What happened to me is unbelievable!!!!!! and will forget it!!!
    Even our government is with women and children side in regards of abuse, the same with man in case of abuse. Also, I should highlight Muslims men abroad are totally different than middle east in sense where treating women in a good manner. Ofcourse not all of them but seriously most of them. For example, while living abroad I had many friends who married for months, one year, four years and get divorced but in middle east I have friends whose marriage still last until today. So my opinion in leaders abroad is zero, but I hope this change in the near future otherwise it will be a disaster. I noticed that abroad Muslims want to be perfect Muslims and stress for that but perfection is not the solution. Just be human and be firm in your deen as it should be. Also, seeking perfection could become worse, Islam all about holding the stick in the middle. I hope my point get to all.
    May Allah bless these girls to rise this topic and I know Muslims abroad community will label them in many names just because of their transparency and honesty. Abroad Muslims community have to wake up and stand with "Haqq"!!!!!!!
    Please note that I'm not against imams or sheikhs abroad but I have to share my story.
