Wa Alaikum Salam Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatu Sister Sumaya,
You are so true that fathers should respect their children’s mother whether married to her or not. This is very important. . Please excuse me if I neglected to convey this message. Jazakalakhair and Barakalafik for taking the time to write and for reminding us all about this important point.

Salam, I like the effort you are making to guide people to have peace and success under Islamic rules. Jazakallah. Although it is a good article I suggest that you include some more specific suggestions in it because it is too overly generalized . To be honest , mere mentioning that be kind to ex-wife or husband is not enough. You need to put suggestions on how people can remain kind to those who were bad to them. There need some practice tips. Also, I understand that many times it is Muslim ladies who r left with the kids but a lot of times men r also single fathers and are victims of in-kind behaviour of women. You would rather balance it out in the article. Thanks

In reply to Hiba. I could agree more! I had the same feeling when reference was made to the importance of staying married. Off course who really wants to be divorced, widowed and single. This greatly undermined the entire purpose of giving counsell to single parents. The entire point and purpose of the article was to help, guide and provide some type of counselling to single parents. I suddenly felt depressed that perhaps I should have endured all the pain nd trauma of being married and as a result damaging my beautiful and innocent children's lives!

Alhumdullila so happy to have found this page that I’ve saved as a bookmark,
I find as a single mum that special time with my child helps no matter how little but just the two of us uninterrupted time that is, regularly, allows me to tune into my child and learn more about them, and Praying.
As hard as it gets, and I’m guilty of having weak times at this too, but each prayer assisted by your child matters. Even just being in the same room or watching you its so soothing and balancing not forgetting that children are great observers and mimics..also times spent listening to verses and recitations of the Quran brings peace and tranquility to the mind and the heart it is important to be healing and soothing to each other and more so to our children to process and accept life as beautifully as Allah has created it and that with its challenges, and support our children to go through this in a spiritual and peaceful manner that Islam does teach and go by too I believe that anything in life that is abused in its use becomes misuse therefore I love to remind myself that Allah did not make Islam complicated it’s more of a way of life to try and adapt in our everyday the best we can and I love the fact that we have so many resources to guide us in gaining knowledge of our religion I strongly believe that single parents who put their trust in God will not be raising their children alone 💕

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatu.
Thank you for the advice you have given in this article. However, I did feel the first few paragraphs were … insensitive.

Although divorce may be most disliked but no matter what situation you are in, Alhamdulilla – there is nothing in this world that happens without the will of Allah (SWT).

Regards
