In light of troubling recent events of spiritual abuse across the country, MCC joins our national discussion on this challenging topic to ferret out spiritual predators in the Muslim community and protect our communities, particularly our children.
Shaykh Rami Nsour and Sidi Shaan Mukhtar, passionate local congregation members helping our community understand this type of abuse, will lead this conversation.
Parents: Please join us for practical and spiritual tools to talk about this type of abuse with your children.
The national discourse in the Muslim community prompts this discussion. Alhamdulliah, no spiritual abuse incident has happened at MCC.
The MCC Board will also update you on additional precautionary security measures we are implementing to ensure our community center remains a safe space for everyone, especially children.
This vital education night is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 13. Please mark your calendars. You can join us in person or watch live virtually.
Spiritual abuse is quite common in our communities and is often missed because of our inability to see it and correct it. It’s also missed because of the shame associated with abuse. It ends with awareness and action.
What is Spiritual Abuse?
This is when individuals misuse their authority within religious settings to manipulate, control, or harm others. This leaves deep and lasting impacts on the victim by shaking the foundation of their faith. Some victims feel disconnected from the beliefs meant to bring peace and healing.
