For over a year, I have lived in the shadows of despair, fighting against the weight of false accusations, cyberbullying, and death threats. Despite filing reports to authorities, I was met with silence. But today, I stand at a crossroads, choosing to speak not because I am strong, but because I am still here.
I have been called names I never deserved — the cruelest being ‘perempuan sundal,’ a slut that associates me with the highest of sins in Islam. It was a blow to my dignity and my soul. But Allah’s words remind me that slander is a grave offense in His sight, and that those who falsely accuse will not go unpunished.
As it is written in Surah An-Nur: ‘Indeed, those who accuse chaste women are cursed in this world and the Hereafter.’ It is with this understanding that I stand tall today — not as someone guilty, but as someone who has been wronged.
Surah An-Nur (24:23)
“Indeed, those who accuse chaste women, unaware and believing, are cursed in this world and the Hereafter; and they will have a painful punishment.”
This verse confirms that those who falsely accuse innocent women are not only committing a sin in this world but also incur a severe punishment in the Hereafter. It highlights the gravity of such accusations in the eyes of Allah.
Despite the accusations that seek to tear me down, I remember the strength given to me through the teachings of the Quran. Allah does not forget the oppressed. In Surah Al-Hujurat, He calls for respect, kindness, and justice, and forbids us from ridiculing or unjustly judging others. These words echo in my heart as a reminder that no matter the falsehoods spread, I am not alone in this battle.
I walk this journey with faith, knowing that Allah is with those who uphold the truth.
I have been called a liar, my reputation tarnished by the cruel hands of falsehood. The digital world became a battlefield, where my privacy was invaded, my character assassinated, and my spirit tested beyond measure. But in every wound, there is an opportunity to find strength — and that is where my journey begins.
In my journey, I’ve faced the harsh reality that the system meant to protect me has failed me at every turn. Despite the numerous efforts I made to seek justice and support, I was met with silence and indifference. I reached out, I made my voice heard, but the response was not what I needed. The lack of action and empathy from those in positions of power has been a constant reminder of how easily individuals like me can be overlooked, dismissed, and hurt. But even in the face of this failure, I will not remain silent. This experience has only fueled my determination to keep fighting for my truth, and for the truth of others who may also be suffering in silence.
I reached out, countless times, to the systems meant to protect me. But the silence was deafening. It felt as though my cries were lost in the void. But in that silence, I discovered something profound — I was forced to become my own advocate, my own savior, and from that moment, I knew my healing would not be dictated by the actions of others.
One day, amidst the darkness, I realized that I could choose not to stay buried in the pain. I could choose to rise, to use my story as a light for others who feel lost. This is not just about me — it’s about giving voice to every woman, every soul who has been silenced and broken by the cruelty of the world.
I began to write, not for fame or fortune, but as a release. I prayed, meditated, and embraced the power of affirmations. Slowly, the darkness began to recede. I found strength in vulnerability, courage in my pain, and light in my healing.
I write today not as a victim, but as a warrior. Not as someone broken, but as someone healing. There is light after the darkest storms, and it is in our deepest wounds that we find our greatest strength. To those reading this, know that your light is within you — you must only choose to let it shine.
The world is harsh sometimes, and the system can fail us, but the light of your spirit—the strength to speak your truth—shines through every word you write, every step you take. And I am here to support you as you continue your journey.
You Are Not Alone.
