Islamic guidance and counseling (BKI) counselors may meet counselees who disclose both prior sexual victimization and sexual harassment of others. This article proposes a conceptual two-track model for handling such disclosures from an Islamic counseling perspective, based on an anonymized illustrative case and a focused narrative review. The case supports no claims about causation, incident frequency, or outcomes. The model has five stages: reception and safety, assessment, two-track intervention, referral and coordination, and follow-up and evaluation. One track supports recovery from victimization; the other manages risk and accountability for harmful behavior, using amanah, muhasabah, and taubah without replacing legal accountability or clinical assessment. The model is untested and requires expert validation and ethics review.
