It is interested reading your article because Ikept thinking what is going on with the sister. How can we send her Sadakah? And finally is it possible for me to talk to her. my email if fatimah.rahim@gmail.com please forward it to her and let her know that there are people who are interested in assisting a women who loves Allah. My husband is an amazingly supportive upstanding servant of Allah. He would do anything to assist another in serving Allah. If she is a sincere believer who needs assistance he would help. If she is divorced and of good character I would say let them meet and possibly marry. We are not looking to marry for fun. We have discussed it in depth and we are looking to marry for the reward of Allah.

SO if she need help short term or long term, we will be sure to offer her more than a on room falling down fixer upper.

Jazakhallah Khair.

Saima, what I love about the article is that you don't spend too much time on details and go right away to the actions items. I wanted to point out that the issues of a revert brothers/sisters and born Muslims are somewhat different. The types of supports they would need vary according to situation. If a revert comes single to Islam, she is rushed off to marry someone from the community. If she comes to Islam in a relationship, then her choices weren't made based on her current outlook on life.

salam, MashaAllah a praiseworthy initiative. May Allah help you to help the muslimah.Subhanallah! the story reminds me of several sisters I know suffering from the same kind of situation. May Allah keep their feet firm.For all these sisters my advice is, "Sisters! don't underestimate the power of dua, keep making dua to Allah". Marriage is supposed to help our deen, not to destroy it. Both men and women should look at this "Precious contract" as a mean to please Allah, the Almighty.

Great informative article. The imams should definitely try to mediate between the spouses and serve as councillors rather than suggesting quick fixes such as divorce. May allah guide us all.

mashaAllah, I like your website. May Allah keep your intentions pure and make it a success.

Quick question – the Anas mentioned in the story of Umm Sulaym — is that the Anas ibn Malik whose mother bought him to the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam at a young age to be the Prophet’s servant? The Anas ibn Malik who has related LOADS of hadith? Just curious JazakAllah khayr in advance!
