EP 5/P2: The Faith-Fitrah Dissonance, a conversation with Wid Kattan

Part 2: As we continue this conversation, we delve into the healing of the spiritual wounds experienced by women, particularly in the context of Islamic teachings. We further explore the concept of fitrah faith dissonance and its impact on women's psychological well-being. The discussion emphasizes the importance of healing through both cognitive and emotional pathways, while also addressing the challenges posed by difficult religious texts. We advocate for the creation of supportive communities and the empowerment of women to navigate their spiritual journeys with agency and discernment.Hadith:I said: Messenger of Allah, how should we approach our wives and how should we leave them? He replied: Approach your tilth when or how you will, give her (your wife) food when you take food, clothe when you clothe yourself, do not revile her face, and do not beat her.Abu Dawud said: The version of Shu'bah has: That you give her food when you have food yourself, and that you clothe her when you clothe yourself.حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي، قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نِسَاؤُنَا مَا نَأْتِي مِنْهُنَّ وَمَا نَذَرُ قَالَ ‏"‏ ائْتِ حَرْثَكَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ وَأَطْعِمْهَا إِذَا طَعِمْتَ وَاكْسُهَا إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ وَلاَ تُقَبِّحِ الْوَجْهَ وَلاَ تَضْرِبْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَى شُعْبَةُ ‏"‏ تُطْعِمُهَا إِذَا طَعِمْتَ وَتَكْسُوهَا إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏You can find Wid on:Dal: https://dalwellbeing.com/member/wid-kattan/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/widkattan/You can find me on:• Website: https://nouraamkieh.com/• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nafsandtherapy
