Subhannallah, reading this makes me sad especially because you said they are Muslim and attend the mosques in the neighborhood. Can I suggest talking to the imaam of one of the masaajids they attend and tell them your situation. Ask them to speak with him, and to let him know that you as a neighbor have a right upon him. At this point, I don't think you have much to loose. Wallaahu alam. Keep making dua inshaa allah
Hi,
Thanks for your response.
They are definitely Muslim. The father normally wails each morning, I think he is trying to pray the Qura'an. And the whole family have Muslim names so I guess that's a dead certain they are Muslim.
I've previously spoken to an Imaam. He actually did two back to back Jummah sermons on the rights of neighbours. The ignorant father from next door was in both of them but it made no difference. He wouldn't speak to them direct when I told them who they were. The family are quite rough and do what they want. Not even the Police scare them!
Since then we have had numerous big Aaalims come to our Mosque (Moulana Fadhlur Rehman Azmi, Sheikh Touqueer Choudhury and someone from South Africa) - each of them have always spoken about the rights of neighbours but alas, the penny never drops. I know the ignorant mother from next door has the receiver on at home (it transmits sermons from the Mosque to homes so females can listen) but again, she is just more ignorant than ever before.
Last month, Moulana Saleem Dhorat from Leicester did the same bayan. Ignorant father and ignorant son from next door were at the lecture but hey, guess what, it made no difference whatsoever! The main points of the bayan were published in the local monthly Muslim magazine and I am trying to upload a photo of it to here but it is not happening.
But as you have suggested, I can speak to the Imaam again. Who knows, he might do something that helps.
I am at my wits end now. I've prayed everything people have told me to pray and still nothing. I know I probably sound really impatient, ranting and raving like a lunatic, but non stop abuse and harassment on a daily basis takes its toll on you. It really does. I ate not too long ago and then threw it all up because I was so anxious and worried.
Please pray that my Mom agrees to moving from this house. If she agrees, we can try and sell this, or part exchange it and move somewhere else. Otherwise it's not affordable and it's not going to happen. The others at home are also really tense. My sister fell down the stairs the other day. It is really affecting everyone. I wonder why Allah will not help us? Does it mean he likes ignorant people like the ones next door to people who actually follow his rules and regulations? ****! That must be where I went wrong in life!!!
