I am 16 weeks pregnant and Muslim , my mother is kicking me out because I am not married yet. I'm so lost and depressed I don't know what to do in order to survive this. I've thought about abortion but it doesn't feel right at all and every time it comes to mind I feel very guilty. The baby is formed and has a heart beat i don't want to kill it :( . Please help me with any information you can provide , it will be greatly appreciated .

I really sad that no one has answered this yet, i'm only 16 and i dont know what to do but InshaAllah you can come strong out of this, shame on your mother, I pray you can find what to do and get some help, maybe turn to close friends or family who you can trust with this, don't abort this baby, it may be the best blessing, Good luck to you!
Hello,
I know this is a tough time for you, but you will get through this. First do not make any permanent decisions in a mental and emotional state such as depression. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that appear to be hopeless. But in reality it is not hopeless, it just appears that way. For more information regarding abortion and how God feels about it, please visit jw.org and type abortion in the search box. I know you will be encouraged with what you find. You can even type in depression and find some practical ways to help you deal with what your going through. If you want to contact me personally please feel free to do so.
Hey hun do you live in the USA? They have homes for mothers who are homeless for girls your age and they will let you keep the baby and help you get in school college or get a job to support it. I'm so heart broken for you too. Your mom may be a little heart broken too. She may not know what to do. I can give you a list of places in the USA. My heart goes out to you and your family.
I deeply feel for you. I am not a Muslim so I am not sure about what the "norms" of that type of society and background is so I dont want to make any kind of false assumption or anything of that kind. I am a Christian and I believe in God. Especially as the Trinity or Triune as it is also called. But I will say do not abort the child. You will regret it for the rest of your life.if you do. The child's existence is just as much the doing of God as it is to the act of copulation. In my Christian state of mind I would ask myself would a God that teaches love and compassion want his creation killing another one of his creations. Especially when it is a being that is part of themselves. No! It saddens me to know that people actually do horrendous things such as abortion. It saddens me to think of all those kids who will never see a sunrise or a starry sky. It saddens me that those souls will never hear the majesty of a symphony of Beethoven or Mozart. It saddens me that they will never know the embrace of a loving family member. That they will never ready the incredible work of Shakespeare or Walt Whitman or Percy Bysshe Shelly. I do not want to offend you or your family but maybe you might think that you mother kicking you out like that might be an act of a evil spirit controlling your mother and confusing her. Yes some people might think a certain type of birth might be a sin, but even if it is the good spirits would bless you if you did an act that justifies good. Childbirth is a very important and sacred thing. The spirits will bless you if you raise the child in a healthy and loving way which I am sure you will. There are places you could seek refuge where people could help you through this experience. There are many ministries or assisted housing places for people in your position. I hope this helps and I am sorry if anything I have written offends you in any way. I just wrote what my guardian spirit told me to write. I want you know yet again that I feel for your pain and that there is nothing wrong with asking questions. If you don't ask questions you don't get answers. You are a brave person for exploring this through your question and I will pray for you, your family, and your child. God bless you.
