Divorce In Our Communities

I wanted to take a second and address an issue that is spreading like wildfire in many of our communities. Many of us know people that have unfortunately been affected by this situation, and as we know it is very hard on individuals and their families. This is obviously the situation of divorce and the splitting of the basic unit which holds the fabric of our societies together.

As we know in Islam. there are rules and regulations to everything. It pains me to have to discuss this issue with all of you, as I wish that none of you will ever be touched by this catastrophe. But the reality of the issue is that, this is something that needs to be addressed. Therefore, I have done so.

The article I have placed a link to below, gives you information about the period of the divorce called the 'Iddah'. The reason why this is so important, is that it often referred to, but rarely taught the principles and issues behind it. So, I felt it was a my responsibility to address this situation and educate all of you about what exactly takes place. This way, we are sure that we are doing what is necessary and correct if the situation ever arises in our lives.

I ask though, that you please share this article with the Muslims far and wide, so they too may benefit from what you are about to benefit from. This is not a small, insignificant or even rare issue. It is one that needs to be understood so that it can be done correctly. I ask that you keep all of us here at Arabic Virtual Academy in your du'aa, as we will continue to do for all of you. Barak Allahu Feekum.
