Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullah brothers and sisters,
I am so so sorry to bother you all once again, but.. ONLY THREE people out of this whole forum have actually requested for a questionnaire and filled it up. Brothers and sisters, I do not blame you for not wanting to do this, I understand you all may have busy lives but im not asking for your whole life, just 10 minutes of it. Perhaps your understanding towards this campaign (Insha'Allah) is kind of weak, I don't know what it is that is preventing you but I can assure you, you will be helping our Ummah Insha’Allah.
Unfortunately, it IS a fact that, like many women were undergoing abuse 1400 years ago, they are undergoing abuse TO THIS day as well; be it physical, mental or verbal, Muslim women/men are suffering, and with this one questionnaire, which I am sure all of you Insha’Allah are capable of filling up … the ball can start rolling for this campaign. Together we can help individuals to get out of situations where they feel scared, trapped and oppressed.
I apologise if I am coming out too strong but we are aiming to tackle a serious issue in today’s Ummah and it is quite upsetting that only THREE out of the the thousands of members on this forum have actually got back to me. Remember our Beloved Rasool's s.a.w words where he said, "This ummah is one body, if one part of it is hurt then the whole body feels the pain"
You won’t be able to comprehend how many women, YOUR SISTERS are in their homes right now, in this situation, crying to themselves, unable to cope, unable to speak up, breaking inside, wishing to see some light at the end of the tunnel.
Sorry, once again for this long message, but if my words have not yet sunk into you then please still do not ignore this email. Please watch the talk by Imam Khalid Latif (below) insha’Allah … perhaps then you'll understand how deep being a victim of DV actually is.

"what would you do if that woman came up to you tomorrow..are you really ready to talk to her?.." - [K.Latif]
Wa’laikum assalaam
Insha’Allah I’ll hear from the majority [please pm with your email add if you wish to request for a questionnaire]
And if you still choose to ignore this message then please atleast keep this campaign in your duaas. jazakAllah khair for your time and I apologise again if I have caused any offence.
