 *Suffering in Silence*

[[---- Episode 4 ----]]
------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

Your wives are a trust (Amanah) from Allah. I've observed many men who treat their wives like nobody, forgetting that their actions is undoubtedly exposing the innocent woman into emotional/psychological trauma.

Islamically, It's good to note that "Marriage" does not give anyone the right to abuse their partner physically, sexually, emotionally, or in any other way.

What is emotional abuse?

Emotional abuse is any type of abuse that involves the continual emotional mistreatment of your spouse. It's sometimes called psychological abuse. These kinds of abuse can be difficult to spot by outsiders (sometimes).

Actually,

There is no doubt that just as the husband leads his wife to Paradise or to Hellfire, the wife may also lead him to Paradise or to Hellfire. This is because she has rights upon him in the same manner that he has rights upon her.

My people!

The woman is in need of mercy because of the nature of her physical structure and her need for someone to take care of her affairs. For this reason, the Prophet described women to be similar to a soft glass which should be handled with gentleness and care. That is the reason behind the emphasis of Islam on dealing with the wife with kindness and care, and God reiterated that the basic building blocks of matrimony are mercy, affection and serenity. Allah (swt) says,

“And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought” 📚(Quran30:21).

Now,

Continuation of the previous episodes - as promised:

*Burning Issue No 2* - Direct & Indirect Torture of Women.

*Point No 4: Gaslighting*

Gaslighting is a form of emotional and psychological abuse that tends to happen gradually in a relationship. The term “gaslighting” is used to describe a pattern of behavior in which the abuser intentionally denies that acts or events happened in the way that you know that they happened.

My words on this:

Al-Qurtubi (r.h.) said: *“If you have power over your wife, then remember the Might of Allah; Allah’s Might is over every might, so no one should transgress his wife, as Allah Almighty, is indeed in observation and watching.”* 📚[End of quote]

*Point No 5: Humiliation*

This happened when you see your partner humiliates you every chance they get. Yes. Humiliation is one of the common signs of emotional abuse. Abusers tend to offend and insult their partners by making mean jokes and judging negatively. In most cases, the abusive partner would also refuse to acknowledge your strengths and belittle your accomplishments. Yes. They don’t care if it is done in private or in a group of people. They will do it in the hopes of crushing your self-esteem.

My brother,

Islam has truly discouraged such acts which could hurt other, as Allah has clearly stated such act as “open sin”.

Evidence:

وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡذُونَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ بِغَيۡرِ مَا ٱكۡتَسَبُواْ فَقَدِ ٱحۡتَمَلُواْ بُهۡتَٰنࣰا وَإِثۡمࣰا مُّبِينࣰا

“As for those who hurt/abuse/humiliate/do unjust with believing men and women unjustifiably, they will definitely bear the guilt of slander and blatant sin 📚Al-Ahzab 33:58
