Honour or Harm? When Parents Become Your Test


Paradise lies beneath their feet—but what if they cross the line?

  • The unpayable debt you owe, especially to your mother
  • The line between ihsan and harmful obedience
  • When to say “no” without saying “uff”
  • What Islam says about toxic parenting, forced marriages, and cultural control
  • Healing generational wounds—and how one heartfelt call can change everything


Struggling to balance love and limits? This is your roadmap.
