In this difficult situation, Hira Baji chose truth and justice, and for the sake of her children’s better future, she decided to seek Khula (legal separation). As her husband wished to marry another woman, Hira Baji thanked Allah for granting her freedom from this painful relationship and protecting her from a greater sin. After obtaining Khula, she realized that she was no longer anyone’s “slave”. Today, she and her children are living a life of dignity, freedom, and peace. She recalls that her home environment was filled with fear, violence, and constant accusations. The children suffered severe psychological stress, and their education was badly affected.
Hira Baji shares that when she first approached Shauoor Welfare Foundation a year ago, she was burdened with countless problems and hardships. Today, however, she is living a calm and content life. She has escaped a deeply painful marital relationship and now feels independent, self-respecting, and strong. Positive changes have transformed her life, and she is hopeful about the future.
She further explains that Shauoor Welfare Foundation stood by her at every difficult stage, especially during her Khula and legal proceedings. According to her, Dr. Shahida Noumani and her team are like family to her. The Shauoor team never allowed her dignity to be compromised; instead, they continuously encouraged and strengthened her. The same strength was passed on to her children. Today, with the support of Shauoor Welfare Foundation, her children are receiving an education and moving toward a better life. This journey has also been made possible through the generous support of donors who took responsibility for the care of this vulnerable mother and her children.
In conclusion, Hira Baji expresses heartfelt gratitude to Allah Almighty, stating that while she once had nothing, Allah has now blessed her with everything. She considers Allah her ultimate support and protector and believes that hardships did not break her but made her stronger. Her message to others is clear: never lose hope, because every hardship in life can be endured, but losing courage is the greatest defeat.
