Domestic abuse is prevalent in the Islamic community worldwide.  In the US we are now seeing more and more reports on the news of Muslim women, girls and some men being hurt and or murdered.  Several other reports have been made about successfully hidden murders of girls and women in Islamic households in the US. We can't verify the information so we can't include the victims in the Fatality Report that we are compiling.

Islam does not teach nor condone abuse.  The Quran does not teach this type of behavior and speaks specifically against it.  Our Prophet Muhammad (SAW) did not hit or abuse any of his family members. He is the example of what a Muslim can be if they choose.

We ask people to visit www.baitulsalaam.net and help us end the ignorance that surrounds domestic abuse in the Islamic community today.

We ask for Islamic leaders (Imams/Amirs) to make domestic violence awareness education a priority in every community.  We can only end this travesty against women and children when we truly know what it is. We can only stop the growth of women in the Islamic community being violent towards men and children through education and advocacy.
