Divorced??
People think divorcees are the worst of people yet they forget that even the daughters of the sahaba were divorced by her husband, a sahabi, who was promised jannah, for being too harsh.
Was she ridiculed or ostracized? No!
Why then do we do it to our sisters?
Allah swt has made divorce a solution NOT a punishment.
The mother of the believers Khadija (ra) was married twice and widowed both times; she had 3 children before she married RasulAllah (sallilahu alayhi wa sallam), were they seen as a burden? NO! They lived with them and were raised by Rasulullah (sallilahu alayhi wa sallam).
To the sisters wanting to flee abusive marriages there is NO evidence from the Qur’an or sunnah that says a woman must stay even when she is suffering abuse.
Don’t stress if you are divorced thinking you won’t remarry.
Men are supposed to compliment you not be an added stress!
This poisonous thinking is cultural NOT Islamic.
The women of the past would be approached for marriage AS SOON AS their iddat was up.
RasulAllah (sallilahu alayhi wa sallam’s) own daughters were divorcees (they were married to the sons of Abu Lahab)
If it was always the woman’s fault then why were they referred to as ‘light’ when they married Uthman Ibn Affan?!
He was known as ‘the possessor of the two lights’ the “lights” being Ruqqayah and Umm Kulthum (Radiallahu Anhuma).
Please share this and raise awareness about the true beauty of Islam and not the cultural version.
