Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatAllahi wa barakatuHu (peace be with you and the mercy and blessings of God) sister Farah hope this message finds you well.

I am very sorry to hear about the abduction, deprivation, and forced estrangement you and your eldest daughters have faced, as well as the difficult experiences of divorce and broken engagement, given our South Asian (Desi) community, culture, and the misogynistic, oppressive tyranny which patriarchy places upon young girls and women.

It is altogether saddening and maddening. You have my deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences.

I hope, pray, and wish for a miraculous reunion someday soon before long inshaAllah (God willing) where you and your darling beloved parents are able to see them, love them, and care for them. If you don't mind my asking, have you considered retaining legal counsel (attorney/barrister) to challenge the case judgement and regain custody? I know it is very expensive, and perhaps you already have, so I apologize for being presumptuous in assuming you may have not. Don't ever give up!

I am glad and grateful you are doing better now, remarried and blessed once more with daughters. May Allah swt (God Almighty) accept, bless, compensate, preserve, and reward you and your beautiful family with the best acceptance, blessing, compensation, preservation, and reward, in this life and the next. Ameen! Keep in touch. Best of luck! Take care, stay safe, and be well. Cheers!

Your brother,

Farooq Zafar
