Q. Actions taken for an abused Converted Wife.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

If there is such a case, I extend my prayers to the sister.

Pls elaborate on the types of abuse, in basis there is 2 types, physical and emotional.

In Islam, women are recognized by Islam as the equal partner of the man in the pro-creation of humankind.

A woman's role is as equally important as the men. In such, she has equal share in every aspect in a marriage. She is entitled to equal rights and responsibility.

Furthermore, the relations between the spouses in Islam should be based on tranquility, love and mercy.

Allah says: "And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are Signs for those who reflect." (Ar-Rum: 21) And He says: “Permitted to you, on the night of the fasts, is the approach to your wives. They are your garments and ye are their garments….” (Al-Baqarah: 187)


Commentators on the Qur’an understand this to mean that husbands and wives are for mutual support, mutual comfort, and mutual protection.

In islamic marriage, there is a balance between husband and wife. Tranquility, love, and mercy summarize the ideals of Islamic marriage.

1) It is the duty of the husband and wife to see that they are a source of comfort and tranquility for each other.

2)They should do everything physically, emotionally and spiritually to make each other feel happy and comfortable.

3) They must care for each other. They should not harm or injure each other, either physically or verbally.

4) In order to increase the tranquility and comfort in their relations and in their home, they should love each other and be merciful and kind to each other.

If the couple needs further assistance on counselling, they can approach darul arqam for help. They will assign a ustaz to guide the couple. Both parties must understand the true essence of Islam.

All praise to Allah.
