We are sorry to hear of your predicament and your episode. Everything occurs with the Will/Taqdeer of Allah SWT. We advise you to exercise Sabr/patience and maintain your daily rituals such as recital of the Qura’an, Zikrullah and abstain from sins and vice. A female undergoing trauma like yourself is a very difficult and emotionally troubling time and you should seek the advice and counsel of your close family in alleviating the pain and suffering. You should consider alternative methods to address and resolve your domestic abuse including the intervention of senior family members or the local Islamic organizations to resolve your issue.
We make Du’aa that Allah SWT alleviates your pain and suffering and grants you a life of Aaafiyat and Raahat. Aameen.
