A revert of Sikh origin, disowned, imprisoned and abused by her husband, his family and her own; then ultimately divorced. Estranged from her children, who have refused to accept her as a Muslim. Living alone and feeling misunderstood and unsupported by the Muslim Community. Lonely and isolated.

A 16-year-old new revert sister, living in a rural area and isn't in touch with many Muslims. Her family have become psychologically abusive and this has progressed to other disturbing circumstances. Young and vulnerable because she wants to leave home and practice her faith, she is pushed to get married and falls prey to the wrong type of "brother", falling pregnant and has child after child. Looks into the mirror at age 25 and wonders where it all went wrong. Struggling with depression and anxiety, maybe divorced, she can't cope with the kids. Social services get involved and she is holding onto Islam by a thread. She's even thinking of leaving altogether.

These are real examples of cases that Solace has dealt with and continue to deal with. This is the reality for thousands or possibly millions of our revert sisters across the country. 

"Whoever guides someone to virtue will be rewarded equivalent to him who practices that good action." [Bukhari]
