When someone is hurt or wrongedwhether in a family, school, or the wider communityour instinct is often to assign blame and punishment. But what if we focused instead on healing, accountability, and repairing the harm?

Restorative justice offers us a different pathone that aligns closely with our Islamic values of mercy, compassion, and justice. Its about coming together to understand the harm thats been done, support the people affected, and help those responsible make things right. Its not just about consequencesits about connection, healing, and real change.
