Divorced Muslims

Deen Qween on Instagram: "Yesterday, I shared my remarriage story. I shared how my husband chose not only me, but my son. I shared how he stepped into our lives with kindness, patience, and love. And one comment kept coming up over and over again: “You’re so lucky.” While I understand what people mean when they say that, I think we need to start changing that narrative. Because divorced women are not simply lucky when someone chooses them. We are not damaged goods. We are not charity cases. We are not women waiting around hoping someone will overlook our past. The truth is that many divorced women bring an incredible amount of value into a marriage. Many of us know how to run a household. Many of us have raised children. Many of us know what it means to sacrifice. Many of us have carried families on our backs while navigating heartbreak, financial stress, single parenting, and rebuilding our lives from the ground up. We know how to love. We know how to give. We know how to show up. We know what truly matters. And yes, I am grateful for my husband. I am grateful for the way he loves my children. I am grateful for the peace we have built together. But I don’t believe I am blessed simply because someone chose me. I believe I am blessed because I chose well. There is a difference. I think many divorced women need to stop viewing themselves through the lens of people who see them as less than. Because if we continue believing that our value somehow decreased after divorce, we will continue accepting things we should never accept. Your divorce did not decrease your value. Your children do not decrease your value. Your age does not decrease your value. Your past does not decrease your value. You are not lucky because someone married you. The right person is fortunate to have you too. And the moment divorced women truly believe that, everything changes. 🤍 #divorce #divorcesupport #divorcerecovery"
