The author is a father of four who has lived through prolonged separation from his children in the aftermath of family breakdown and disputed allegations. Writing from lived experience, he seeks to raise awareness of how loving fathers — especially those trying to uphold normative Islamic values and family life — can be recast through adversarial systems and deprived of meaningful relationships with their children. Through his writing, he hopes to bring solace to affected parents, warn future couples before conflict turns destructive, and encourage better understanding, prevention, and reform for the sake of families and children.
