Hajjat Kulthum Celebrates Divorce Anniversary

In a society where anniversaries are often reserved for weddings, birthdays, and milestones of union, Kulthum chose to mark a different kind of date — the anniversary of his divorce.

She said that it wasn’t about mourning what was lost, but about honoring the journey she had taken since that pivotal moment.

Kulthum explained that the day symbolized liberation. The divorce had once felt like a fracture, a painful tearing apart of a life he thought was secure.

But with time, he began to see it as the beginning of a new chapter. “It was the day I reclaimed myself,” he shared. “The day I stopped living for someone else’s expectations and started listening to my own voice.”

Over the years, Kulthum embarked on a journey of rediscovery. He learned to embrace solitude, to find joy in small victories, and to rebuild his confidence. He spoke of nights spent reflecting, mornings filled with renewed purpose, and the gradual realization that healing is not linear.

“There were setbacks, of course,” he admitted, “but every stumble taught me something about resilience.”

By celebrating the divorce anniversary, Kulthum reframed the narrative around endings. Instead of seeing divorce as failure, he chose to see it as transformation.

His celebration was not about bitterness or regret, but about gratitude — gratitude for lessons learned, for strength gained, and for the chance to begin again.
