Healing the Sacred Bond: 6 Week Course

Are you navigating the painful complexities of a marriage where your faith, trust, and sense of self have been undermined by spiritual manipulation?

In Muslim marriages, the bond is meant to be one of peace, mercy, and mutual respect. Yet, tragically, some individuals experience a profound betrayal when religious teachings are distorted and misused to control, demean, or abuse. This can leave you feeling isolated, confused, and disconnected from your faith and your true self.

This course is a sacred journey designed specifically for individuals like you, seeking to understand, heal from, and ultimately reclaim your peace, dignity, and authentic faith after experiencing spiritual abuse in a Muslim marriage.

What is Spiritual Abuse in Muslim Marriages?

Spiritual abuse is an insidious form of manipulation where religious texts, principles, or cultural interpretations are twisted to exert power, control, and undermine an individual's spiritual and emotional well-being. It often masks itself as piety, discipline, or righteous guidance, making it incredibly difficult to identify and resist.

This course will provide the clarity you need to:

• Recognise the subtle (and overt) signs of spiritual abuse, including gaslighting, coercive control, and the distortion of Islamic teachings.
• Disentangle true Islamic principles of love, compassion, and justice from harmful cultural ideologies and misinterpretations.
• Understand the profound impact spiritual abuse has on your emotional health, self-esteem, and relationship with Allah.
