When news reached Rasūlullāh ﷺ that a group of women complained about domestic violence, he didn't say, 'Have Sabr!' or 'Be patient!' like many of us do to try and sweep the problem under the rug like it doesn't exist. Do you know what he did? He delivered a sermon infront of his Companions where he showed his displeasure towards such actions, he criticized the behaviour, and he addressed the issue directly. It's time we learn from Rasūlullāh ﷺ. Our community should have no space and no tolerance for abuse within marriages regardless of the gender of the victim. Covering up things and justifying the unjustifiable is wrong - full stop. Sheikh Aslam.

Love a Muslim day on Tuesday 3 April

Nergis, An-Nisa Network Trustee represents the Muslim community of Nottinghamshire at today's press release ❤ Did you catch Nergis on ITV 6pm, Notts TV at 5.30 and 6.30pm today?

“Abuse and sexual assault against women has become common in our communities. Enough of this talk that 'Islam gave the women her rights' and Islam empowers women. Yes, certainly Islam as a religion has done all that. But this is not the primary question of concern. The real question is, if Islam has indeed done this, then why have Muslims in our own time failed to implement this in society? Why has the language of women’s rights been only employed by Muslims as a way of countering narratives and in grand speeches or in apologetics? Place yourself in the position of an abused woman. When she comes to you seeking help, O Muslim, all she hears you do is speak about how great Islam has been for women’s rights. But when she goes to the human rights organisations, she finds that they actually defend her and assist her." - al-Habib Ali al-Jifri Courtesy of KQZ Institute
