There are also toxic mothers in this world, May Allah guide them bcoz no words nor any communication gets into the thick brains with

[SummeRain]

Problem is there is too much sympathy for the abuser in this community.

[lalalalaaand]

Finally! A Scholar talking about Toxic parents and how parents are people too and they make mistakes, unlike other scholars who only push the “parents are always right” narrative.

[Firedragon-rq]

Let's not also not trivialize the fact that mental, emotional and psychological abuse is also damaging.

[asiya-]

I wish I could send my mum this..she has made me suffer so much just because I disagree with her on things. She thinks because she’s a mother she has to be right for everything and she can mentally abuse me.

[tatiana_a]

Let's not forget that there are multiple forms of abuse that aren't punishable by law, i.e. verbal and mental abuse. Sure, sexual abuse is very awful, but people shouldn't tolerate mental and verbal abuse from their parents either.

To anyone reading this who's going through a tough time. I'm here for you mate. I support you. I'm proud of you. Much Love to all of you❤

My mother is always angry at me. Sometimes when i make a mistake they way she berates me is so mentally damaging. I always want to stay kind to her. While she treats my other siblings way better. Sometimes i misbehave with her too out of anger then she starts crying and cursing me out, Im so sick of this torture.

[Omar]

Emotional abuse poisons a relationship and infuses it with hostility and, contempt and hatred.

[ariwasheretho]

I have to see my abusers faces everyday because they are my parents, they have brought my mental health to another level of severity that has cost me to live in a different way that normal ppl do not live, May Allah just give them the vision to see what they have done to their daughter.

[yume]

Tell this to my parents, not only mine, some other’s parents too. If I try to show this to my mother since she is divorced, she will say: *are you trying to teach me? Are you saying I m a bad mother?* and instead point out the rights to behave abusive and harsh with me. And they aren’t pointing out the rights of being abusive, instead she is denying she is wrong. I just hope someday Allah will take me, and I can finally rest. Yet, i know how difficult life is. But I’m just trying to say. That even if I cut a half piece of my heart for my mother, she’ll never change this behavior until I’m gone..

[Snapnvlog]

I’ve always respected my family. Never complains about them. But today, o can’t . I’ve been hiding all what they did to me. They support my brother who’s younger than me. Always beats me. Abuses me. I’m tired of all this. My hand is not working. He beats me badly. I want to get rid of this family. They can never complaina about me. I’ve followed my parents guidelines.but they never listened to me. Prioritize my brother over me. Even he was wrong. They don’t care about me. When I complain about my brother to them — they come with all society, respect, honor all these things. 💔💔💔

[soriaalcaraz]

I don’t understand how it’s possible to beat an human you supposed to love? Like .... that doesn’t make sense to me. When it’s a child that’s worst💔

[oaktutor]

I never saw mufti menk mention this before. It was both powerful yet scary. I can’t believe people would actually sexually abuse their children.

[farrahabdelghafar]

Yeah well sometimes parents are so hard headed there’s no way for communicating with them when they are abusive and emotionally harmful

[hxney_suzi]

To anyone who is going through these kind of hardships, Don't forget that Allah is always here whenever you need a shoulder, talk to the creator more than his creation, it'll give you internal happiness, And Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bare, it means you're strong buddy 💪🏻❤️, just pray for good things to come and don't lose hope 🤲🏻✨ May Allah bring immense joy in your lives 🫶🏻💗

Subhanallah, shukran ya mufti menk❤.
My mother always told me when I was younger that she is always allowed to hit me and I have to accept and respect it. I always felt that this way of parenting is wrong. I live in Germany and in my younger age i couldn't find advice by research of german speaking sheikhs on yt. Moreover due to missing language skills i was afraid that this kind of abusing may is allowed. Whenever I make research on topics like these in the german youtube-world, I only find topics on "the girls in islam have to obey their parents and have to be respectful and have to protect the honor of their family and this and this etc". It's very sad that especially younger girls are treated like everything's their fault. So glad that I found mufti because he gives me the confirmation that my thoughts were on the right path and mostly of the decisions which make parents are based on their culture.
May Allah guide us to the right path ameen ya rab🤲🏼

[louizak]

What do you do when you have difficlt parents? Abusive in many ways than one, You try hard to have a relationship with them and they block your efforts, they request unreasonable things, for example to leave your job because you work in a hospital helping to save life, as well as a family of your own to support. They refuse to support you in any shape or form, yet they demand difficult things, they use horrible words and speak about you ill in the community. Its mentally draining and emotionally exhausting. I am tired!

[slawcrime]

i just subbed to him because he describes that allah knows that children are special to him and he dosent want them to be hurt

[MoBasit]

I remember talking through my abusive parents at school and it horribly backfired big time! If I show this video to my parents, it will backfire again!
