By the time you complete reading this short message over 2-3 lives of women would have been lost from cases of domestic violence; millions of women in the UK will be suffering from domestic related issues. 1 in 4 women in the UK suffer from DV during their lifetime in the UK.

A marriage is where a man and woman come together to find peace and solace. It should be like a home that provides comfort, security, warmth and protection. However, unfortunately, for millions of people it is like a dungeon where there is continuous emotional, psychological and physical suffering.

Imagine if a close relative was being kicked, punched, sworn at, and treated like an animal while carrying a baby in her belly? Most people probably will not believe this happens. But, sadly, this does happen in our Muslim community. At Nour DV we receive countless numbers of cases such as this one.

Within the last two years we have successfully helped over 200 clients from the Muslim and non-Muslim communities. Also a large number of perpetrators have come forward for help and assistance to overcome their disease and sickness.

This Ramadan Nour along with Spring Foundation scholarship fund are fundraising to help those who suffer domestic abuse as well as facilitate future scholars who can help in this area through the SF Scholarship Fund. The fundamental idea is to inspire 300 individuals or families to donate or raise £100 each over the month of Ramadan 2012.

The 300 theme?

It has been reported that the number of companions who attended the battle of Badr during the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him) were 313. The Battle of Badr has been referred to in the Qur’an as the “Day of Furqan”. Furqan in Arabic means to separate and to distinguish because on that day, Allah clearly distinguished truth from falsehood. On that day, He gave the believers a sound victory and vanquished the hopes and aspirations of those who were attempting to bring an end to the growing Islamic Message.

It took over 313 brave, confident and iman driven companions of the Prophet to drive away the darkness of evil and corruption of the Quraish. It was a clear victory; good overcame evil on that day.

Domestic violence is an evil in our society. It breaks lives of individuals, families as well as the whole society. The 300 drive is a step and an effort to drive away the evil of domestic violence.

We need 300 brave men and women to take the challenge of raising £100 each this Ramadan to give some hope to people who are suffering in silence. We want to ignite the same love, passion, determination the companions had on that day for this campaign, Insha’Allah.

We need 300 concerned brothers and sisters. The remaining number (13-19) will be from us, Insha’Allah.

Let us drive this to success!
