Thank You Allah!
:salam2:

I wanna run away from home. Do you think its ok? Because my parents have drove me crazy. If I dont run away I think I will die from sadness. they really don't want me anywayzz. my mom once told me that if it wasn't haram, she would have already killed me. So i wnna knoe if its okay because i dont wanna do something that will get me into deep trouble. If i run away, i think it will be good for me and for them because everyday they get mad at me and if im not there this wouldnt happen. so u think its okay? im i doing something good? wasalamzz

Assalamualaikum sister, first off I will be honest.
I think of running away too.

Don't run away.

Unless:
1) Your life is in danger.
2) They tell you not to practice islam.
3) They tell you to do bad things.
4) You are not taken care of.


If it is really really bad, and not like one of those spur of the moment ones, then I am sure a counselor would be glad to hear your story. Sorry if you think I am making light note of your problem, but I have realized through my own unfortunate dilemas that if you think something, think it through and think about it again and again.

May Allah swt make things easy and smooth for you and for all of us.
Ameen!
Walaikumasalam.

Assalamu alaykum sister,

I do not understand your situation here. Why would a mother say such things? We are only hearing a one-sided story here, which is from you, and perhaps you would like to go back to the root cause of what is driving you crazy.

There's always that someone from home who drives you insane and diverts you into thinking about death. What can I say sister? Focus on the Deen. May Allaah guide you.

Don't do anything drastic sister, think it through and have patience. This I remind myself as well in sha Allaah.

Do tell us more,

Love your sis <3 :)

I agree with brother Ali and sister Nurain. You need to elaborate further.

No sister, it is a bad choice to run away from home unless your life really in danger. Which mother will ever do that? My mom used to scare me last time but she never did that except I was beaten up few times by her but after she will cry and embraced me.

I've read your note few times, you really sound very serious. Had they physically harm you? If yes, I suggest you confront them in good manner and throw them this question, "do you want me to move out from here?". If no, then ask why they are treating you this way?

May Allah guide you and your parents. InshAllah.

Assalamu Aleykum Warahmatullahe Wabarakaathuh Baji. By your post, I knew that it was urgent that I replied to you quickly. I ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla to remove all of the pain that you may feel in your heart. That he may change the mind of your parents, and remove from them their narrow mindedness and stupidity, and that he makes your sitaution better and easy. Ameen.

As for your situation, it's very depressing to hear your sitaution Baji. Actually, I'm starting to feel a lot of pain in my heart, because I am seeing my brothers and sisters in Islam starting t suffer and feel depressed and sad. :(

May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla make you situation better, and may he fill your entire life and Akirah with Bliss, Love, Happiness, Serenity, Secirty, and Peace. Ameen.

Sister, one thing that I would like actually, would be that if you could give more information about your parents (on this thread, I have too many PMs), like their attitude, their way with other people, what they do, and so forth, then Inshallah I'll be able to advise you more on what you may be able to do.

Sister, it is not a good idea for you to leave on your own, because you are more prone to th evils of society. The Shayateen can try their best to attack you, using their Awliyyah, of the evil ones of Humankind. Evil males will try to take control of you (and many use the stupid "soft talk"), and it can get EXTREMELY difficult.

If the case is that BOTH of your parents don't want you, and are REALLY willing to abandon you, then maybe, Inshallah you can find a good Muslim sister that you can live with, or maybe, if you have a good Pious (blood) relative (and I mean MUSLIMAH ones, like any of your older cousins (meaning 18+), or you aunts, etc.), then Inshallah, you can live with them.

But the BEST thing to do at the moment though, is to make dua, and ALWAYS spend your time in Ebadah. Why? Because when a Mumin(ah) tries to atain Piety sincerely to be a Pious Slave of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla (by abstaining from evil sins, trying extremely hard to fulfill your duties as a Muslim, and doing Nafl deeds (or acutally ANY deed) with the intention to Please Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla), then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla opens the Mumin(ah)'s heart to his Mercy, and his Light, the CORE of Islam, which is the feeling of Serenity and Peace within a person's soul. (When you right Islam in Arabic, there are four letters that are used, and when you look at the last three letters, they spell our the word, "Salam," or "Peace," thus, what is fulfilled when a person is in the CORE of Islam).

And Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla says:

"Fa Meyy Yuri Dillahu Eyy, Yah deyahu Ash Ra7 Sawd Rahoo, Lil Islam."

"And whom so ever Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla wills, he opens their heart to Islam."


And in this Ayat, what does Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla mean by his words, "opening his heart?" It means that the TRUTH reaches that person due to the Sincereity that they had to find the truth, and thus when they find the truth, they embrace it with thier heart, and then it uplifts their soul, which makes their hearts soften and then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla allows their life to be easy, unless he decides that he wants to test his slave, and he puts some bit of hardship into his Slave's life, and after his slave has endured a lot of hardship, once they RETURN in Remembering Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla and Contemplating over him (in their Ebadah), then THAT is when their heart starts to, Inshallah, feel at ease once more.

And with your parents, Baji, it's best for you to stay a BIT more patient at the moment. The BEST thing to do, is make dua for Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla to make things easier for you, and to change things with your parents, and it's also best that you try your BEST to avoid them, like avoid talking to them (unless they start talking to you, or they ask you a question, but besides that, it's best to stay quiet for the time being so that they can't use anything against you. And if they EVER say anything bad about what you do (like a mistake), it's best to just look down and not say anythnig, because if they can't get your attention, then they wll, Inshallah try not to point out a lot of your mistakes).

I remember long back when I was also in your situtaion. That time, I was becoming 14, and Alhamdulillah, like you sister, I was getting closer to Islam and to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla, and then like you, my parents were ALSO hostile towards me, to the point that my father had acutally beated me in the face because I said that I don't want to shave off my beard, because Rasulallah (SAW) said not to (Bukhari and Muslim). And liek your paernts Baji, my parents ALSO wer eextremely narrow minded, that they wuld not let me spend time in the masjid with other brothers simply because they were "from an ethnicity that we had been at war with decades ago,"so meaning that "they're the enemy" (even though there's a differance between Karachi and Punjabistan!) And when I tried to wear my Kufi to highschool, my mother actually STOPPED me from weaing my Kufi, and since I refused to go to school without it, my father started HITTING ME,. But I KNEW that I couldn't go to school without my Kufi, because I felt that I really NEED my Kufi, since it will help me in many ways to get closer to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla (such as the fact that if I don't wear it, then I need to oil my hair when it gets a bit long, and after last year, I didn't want to have to worry about girls feeling attracted to my apperance and start talking to me like what happened in my other school, which absolutely DISGUSTED me). And so what I did was is that I would secretly bring my Kufi to school, or put it in my locker, and once I'm on the bus or I reach school, I put my Kufi on.

And so Alhamdulillah, after some time, my parents started to become less hostile towards my decision to practice Islam to "the extreme," which inreality, means trying to be a Pious Muslim to the point that you try to follow ALL the Sunnahs of Rasulallah (SAW) and try t make every Ebadah perfect.


And so anyway, what I suggest you do Baji is that you do both of the things that I told you to do. Make dua, and don't speak alot to or around your parents, and also, try to find if there's any Muslimah relative that you have that is a good practicing Muslimah (which can be easy since, Mashallah, you find alot of our good Pakistani/Urdu speaking sisters), and that you try to build a STRONG and GOOD relationship with that relative, so that incase if anything bad happens, or if the situation comes that you SERIOUSLY have to leave your house, then you atleast have a close aunt or sister who you can, Inshallah live with.

And Verily, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla's help is sought ffor all our Problems, Ameen.

You are in my duas Baji, and also PLEASE reply back on this thread, because the more information that we have on your problem, then Inshallah, the more we may understand what we may need to do,

So, Farewell Amatullah Baji (since to me, that's a very nice name, so I hope you won't mind that I cal lyou that :D). And.....

Very touching and lovely reply there brother Abdul Hasib. May Allah swt award you abundantly for what you have endured and for what you have stood for.

I was going to write something to the sister, but there is really nothing to add to bro Abdul Hasib's reply. :)

I will remember the sister in my dua Insha'Allah.

I don`t think your mother means what she says ....Try to please Allah swt by being good to them........sometimes we hurt people badly but without bad intention. Give your parents and yourself a chance, try to think why your paranets are mad?

I don't know how old you are, young sister, but my advice would be DON'T RUN AWAY! If you want to leave, make a plan of where you are going to go and with whom you will stay; how are you going to feed yourself - do you have a job? Then leave when you can do it in an organized fashion.

Seriously, if you just up and leave, what are you going to do for food and shelter?

Assalmau Allaicum

Dear sister you should not think about living your parents,you are sister and you can not leave your home like that.For the sake of Allah that is very wrong,dangerous and it is not good and not acceptable on any way.
For me,my mumy and dady are everything the most beautiful for me,and I am sure that your parents loves you too sister.
Islaam teach us diffrent morals and etics sister and not thinking to leave your parents and your home.That is not acceptable for one sister,Ya Allah,subhanAllahi wa bihamdihi,and Islaam can not aloow that one girls walks around alone,seperated from her parents,without thier protection,care and love.
I think that some maybe aprouch on one not so serious way,like for example "You can leave if you make a good plan for food and shelter". No,that is not right to say Alahdmulillah.
The problem is not in the food or finding shelter,but the problem is that noone Low alows something like that because it is wrong Alahdmulillah.Islaam teach us to respect our parents and if you would do something like that sister you would only make them worry for you,and Islaam does not alow that either.If you would do something like that sister you would not respect you parents,neither you would respect your selfe.

I am sure sister that your parents loves you,only you need to talk with them with conversation and with your heart.

May Allah bless you

In all honesty this thread cracked me up. Im not laughing at your situation or anything but at your inclination to do something so utterly stupid. I doubt any scholar would endorse such action, are your parents making it impossible for you to pray 5 times a day and complete other acts which are compulsory upon you? If NOT then you need to stop self pitying and seriously begin to count your blessings young lady. If they are, then elaborate on this inshaAllaah and explain whats going on.

What culture do you come from by the way? I know culture is hardly important if something is Islaamically haraam, but if you are from some sort of Sub Continent culture (actually, Im sure most cultures apart from western cultures are like this) running away from home can get you killed in itself, it really is not the thing to do.

I know of situation where parents of a revert sister have confiscated her Qur'an and other belongings, kept their daughter under their watchful eye in case she was inclined to pray salaah, they would physically force her to stop praying.

Count your blessings.

And this reminds me, if your mother has not tied you up with a rope and kept you hostage as if you were some animal simply because you are muslim then I will reiterate, have patience and don't take drastic actions, because that is the Mus'ab ibn Umayr (radiAllaahu anh) was treated for becoming a Muslim by his own mother, he bore the humiliation.

What I mean is in a nut shell:

1) Stop over reacting, calm down.
2) Communicate to us how they are making you disobey Allaah

Everybody, I understand Amatullah Baji's decision in leaving from her house, because things just become extremely drastic, like her situation. I understand your need to leave Baji, but PLEASE, atleast try to arrange a way that you will be able to leave, like do you know any good Muslim sister or a relative that you can live with? But most importantly PLEASE Baji, PLEASE, make dua for Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla to solve your problem for you and have what's best to happen. Because remember, do NOT just plan to pick up and leave, you need to plan on this days and weeks beforetime. And REMEMBER Baji, ALWAYS make dua and stay patient with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla in helping you. Verily, I seek his Aid in helping you from your difficulties and that the BEST may happen to you, Ameen.

I'm just worried for you Baji, Wallahi, it's just so great that for your age, you're a Steadfast Muslimah, who cares about her Deen and wants to Please Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla. :( Wallahi Baji hearing about you just makes me feel speechless, it's just wonderful that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla has brought up a Pious Muslimah like you, it's just undescribable beyond words. :(

And THAT is why I'm worried about you Baji, Wallahi it hurts me that you are going through so much pain. Unfortunately it seems that no one is understanding the way you are feeling, and how difficult it's becoming, but
I DO because I've went through the same thing Baji, I UNDERSTAND the way you feel and how difficult things are. :( But Wallahi, beleive me, everything will be alright, and why? Because whenever you ever have a problem, look up to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla because no matter WHAT, HE is the one that you can ALWAYS count on, because no matter WHAT, he'll ALWAYS be there by your side. :(

So PLEASE Baji, stay patient, and ALWAYS busy yourself in sincere dua, because since your a Mashallah Steadfast Muslim Sister, you understand what a sincere dua feels like, and that what is that? It's having your heart close to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla, and when you attain that, then you know that you always have him to look up to.

Inshallah, my words are clear and understandable (since most of what I say can't be understood specifically by what I mean) Baji, and you will be in my duas, Inshallah. And I ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla to heal your heart from it's misery, and that he stands by your side and brings a good solution to your problem that will please him, and which will also make YOU feel happy too. Ameen Ya Zaal Jalaaly wal Ekraam!

Ya Baji, please do not be harsh to the Sister. It's just that her problems have become so severe that she needs some peice of mind from all her problems. Give her time to think Inshallah. :( I'm afraid of the sister leaving, because I'm worried about her, but yelling at her and getting angry does NOT help, Wallahi I know because I understand how it is like disciplining young ones, and no matter WHAT, it's best to admonish them without being harsh, and also MAKING DUA too, because something wrong that an adult or older person does to a child can have them remember it for the rest of their life. :(

And another reason for why it's best to not be too harsh on sister Amatullah is because she's not stupid, she's not stubborn, arrogant, or a hostile little brat; no, By Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla, who's Hands my soul is in, she is the exact opposite.

She just needs too release the greif and stress that she is feeling from her problems, because of how heavy they are upon her. :(

And another thing is that admonishing a younger one with Love and Care (especially a young Muslim sister who wants to do her best to Please Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla and be a Pious Muslimah), is the BEST way to counsel them from their problems, because our Sister is NOT a stupid little brat who is narrow minded, she's understanding and open minded, it's just that her problems are so heavy upon her. :(

But I ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla to bless our sister with ease from every hardship, and that he always continues loving her and that she always continues loving him, and that she matures into being a great Muslimah, Amatullah (The Muslimah Slave of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla), and a mother of our Ummah, like our Foremothers, who sacrificed a lot for Allah Subhanahu, and then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla honored them and made them be the mothers of his greatest slaves; Esa ibn Maryam (AS), Musa (AS), Anas ibn Malik (RA), al Bukhari (RA), (etc.) and notice that many of these men are from amongst the Anbiyya (ASWS), the Sahabi (RAH), and amongst the Pious Allamah (RAH), and there are even MORE of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla's Pious slaves that exist. Men, who were raised from a child by their mothers, who sacrificed their sons and their children solely to Please Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla, and in turn Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla blessed them and Honored them, and made them to be the Queens of Jannah, whom the Hurl Yeen (who is described as having the beauty that men desire) look at with jealousy in their eyes, because of the High and Extreme Honor that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla has bestowed upon those Pious Muslimahs, and from the Strong Beautiful Light that Radiates from their Extreme Piety and Love to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla. I ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta Alla to make our young Sister Amatullah (Muslim_Gurl) to be amongst those High Honored Queens, and that he always keeps her Light perfect and Radiating, that he removes any difficulty that she may face, and makes her to be Patient like those of our Foremothers of the past. Ameen Ya Zaal Jalaaly wal Ekraam!

She just needs too release the greif and stress that she is feeling from her problems, because of how heavy they are upon her.

If this is the case then like I said, calm down, no need for an over reaction, what she has to realise is (And you aswell Abdul Hasib, this goes to you too akhi) that there are millions of children out there who do not have parents like yours, who do not have homes like yours. When Allaah bestows his blessings on a servant then is it not within His right to test that servant? So yes ofcourse there are things that get you down from time to time, but that is absolutely no reason to throw every single blessing Allaah gave you in the gutter because of these difficulties.

Apologies if I sound harsh, perhaps stop imagining a *frowning angry person* while reading my post and replace it with a *smiling, slightly bemused* expression? Because thats the way I was when I typed it :)

As-salaamu'alaykum warahmatullaah.

Sister, first of all I am not sure how serious this is. As you seem young (WAllahu'alam) and the way you feel is very common among the youth, although of course what have you told us about the comment your mother made then that is quite bad but people say certain things when they are angry that they wouldnt say otherwise (they don't actually mean it), hence why the purest of advice is in the Sunnah where the Messenger (sallAlllahu'alaihi wasalaam) said: "If you get angry, stay silent." (Ahmad)

To make statements like 'Inshaa'Allah I am going to do it', no, rather inshaa'Allah your not going to do it. Inshaa'Allah you will stay and obey your parents in what good they ask of you and more than that, and you will not obey them - but be merciful and pardon them - from the bad things they ask of you.
Brother Abdul-Hasib's advice is in-depth, personal and most probably of benefit to you so I suggest that you read it again.

Think about this and try to justify it in your head, you run away so that means; you are on your own without mahram, you have disobeyed and displeased your parents, you have disobeyed Allah as obeying your parents has been enjoined upon you, you have disobeyed His Messenger and his Sunnah as this is not from the Sunnah to disobey the parents, you have decieved yourself thinking that this was for Allah and you have made your situation 10 times worse.

Think about other peoples situations. I'm a revert to Islaam and walhamdulillaah my situation is fine but some reverts have a terrible time, they get kicked out, there is no choice to leave/run away or whatever, they find all their stuff packed up and are given the choice 'Islaam/home', their own parents then put them out on the street and close the door. And how they long to go home!
So be thankful to Allah that your situation is one in which you at least have a choice, and I urge you to make the right choice (to stay).

The best thing is du'a. If your situation is as you have said then you should be getting up everynight from your sleep to pray Qiyaam and seeking Allahs Aid and forgiveness, you should be praying Istikhaarah and seeking Allahs Counsel, you should be asking Allah to ease your situation and to help you. Along with the du'a you should have sabr, be patient and persevere, trust in Allah and know that all things happen by His Qadr. You're being tested, many people forget Allah in times of difficulty and hardship, as He, The Most High said:

'O you who believe, have the consciousness of Allah and let every soul look to what it has put forward for tomorrow and fear Allah. Surely, Allah is well aware of all that you do. And be not as those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. Such are the wrongdoers.'
(Quran 58:18-19)

sister, i really dont know what to say. it's soo strange to know that parents actually say such things. i mean may be she just said it in anger and didnt mean it.. give yourself time and give your parents time. running away or doing anything of that sort will never help.
be Patient- i know thats easy to say and difficult to do but still sis...
Be as GOD to your parents as bad ( you think) they behave with you...and believe me one day they'll genuinely feel your goodness INSHALLAH!!!
and they'll treat you exactly how a child is to be treated by parents INSHALLAH!
i hope and pray that things get better for you ....
