"A journey of thousand miles starts with a single step"- Saida Ahmed Rashid
No one goes into a marriage imagining that they will experience physical and mental torture leading to the detriment of their mental and physical health and even making them to contemplate ending their own life. Yet this is the case for many women in our Ummah suffering in silence because of the incorrect connotation of 'sabr' stemming from our cultures and not Islam.
As a result, many Muslim women continue to stay in physically and mentally abusive marriages just to please society and for the children as they are told! Often, this leads to more damage and trauma to the children. But it does not have to be this way anymore!
My guest today is Saida Ahmed Rashid, an activist against Gender-Based Violence and an Ambassador in raising awareness about HIV/AIDS within the Muslim community. Saida has also had her own share of painful experiences and trauma including physical and mental torture in marriage and going through the pain of divorce TWICE!
In this episode Saida shares with us her story and how she overcame the adversity of experiencing divorce twice, transforming her pain into power and finding COURAGE to love again and give marriage a THIRD chance!
We also share strategies and techniques that helped us heal from the complex emotions experienced during the divorce process, discuss the importance of fixing our inside first using the inside-out paradigm so the outside can change, completely trusting Allah's plan and understanding there is wisdom in everything, why being complacent with abuse for the sake of children is more destructive, the power of letting go and so much more!
This is a beacon of hope and reiterates that its NOT what happens to us but how we INTERPRET and WHAT WE DO WITH IT that makes the DIFFERENCE!
Its a MUST listen if you or someone you know is navigating through a complex marriage and contemplating what to do or experiencing the pain of divorce and wondering whether you will EVER find courage to love again! Even if you are not going through divorce, there are a lot of powerful nuggets to learn and take action where you see injustice.
No matter what you have come through, with Tawakkal and Optimism, there is ALWAYS HOPE for each one of us!
