Child Abuse in Islam
islamqa.org

... Where does the issue of sexual child abuse fit into Islam? What is Islam's stance on this? Is it mentioned in any hadith or verses from the Quran? What are the punishments for the abusers? I myself was a victim for 15 yrs by various people. I am finally at a point in my life where I've stopped "questioning" Allah, and am able to say "Alhumdolillah" and accept my fate as the will of Allah. Still however, I am sometimes overwhelmed ... what can I do (zikr) to help myself through psychologically and emotionally draining moments? I am also frequently plagued by nightmares, what should I do for those? Finally, is it considered better to not share your dreams (good or bad) with anyone? JazakAllah khair..

Answer:
Abuse of anything, (inanimate or animate, human being or animal) at any level is haraam (strictly prohibited). If a person is convicted for such a crime, he/she will be charged and dealt with appropriately. It is unfortunate that you have become a victim of abuse for which we deeply regret and sincerely sympathise with you.

Your questioning of Allah was probably due to thinking that was the decree of Allah and that being your fate. That is not so. Allah never decrees abuse.

Allah's knowledge is perfect and absolute. He knows ahead of time what is to happen, not that He made it happen.

The abuser will be punished by Allah, your approach and change of attitude is therefore appropriate. Looking back may not assist you in any way especially when it is not of your own doing. It will only bring grief and agony.

You should be optimistic and look for bright prospects in life within the framework of Shariah. Rasulullah (SAW) said, Lighten your heart often (Abu-Dawood). That may be achieved by engaging in something that is permissible but interesting to you, especially heart and mind consuming. Train yhourself never to turn back.

Look forward and advance.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
