It's something that is rarely recognized or something taken seriously. It's something that is unfortunately swept under the rug as people see the abuse and violence as something not to be talked about in getting the person held responsible for the abuse, rather they reward the abuser by letting him continue it and get away with it, by telling the survivor of the abuses that it's not important enough.<br><br>We as Muslims need to say it is important enough, worth talking about without that person feeling that they have to go to someone else like a Non Muslim who will say something inferior to our belief as abuse is not accepted in any religion, shape or form, against islam, against human law. We should support people through this to help them through it and get out of that. I agree with the sister above here in the HUGE issues within the Ummah, of domestic violence and abuse.

We as Muslims need to say it is important enough, worth talking about without that person feeling that they have to go to someone else like a Non Muslim who will say something inferior to our belief as abuse is not accepted in any religion, shape or form, against islam, against human law.
