My husband has cheated on me.

Question

My husband has cheated on me. He has struck up adulterous relationships. My heart is broken. I don't know what to do. My health is suffering. I want to run away. Please give me some advice.

Answer

Countless women are undergoing the same heart-breaking problems. When men lack Taqwa, they conduct themselves like atheists. They really do not believe that Allah Ta'ala is seeing them and that the Recording Angels are writing their misdeeds. However, do understand well that your broken heart is a wonderful treasure by Allah Ta'ala. Allah Ta'ala, in His Own Words, said to Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam):

"I am with every broken heart." Your grief will not be in vain. You will receive immense rewards for patiently bearing the grief. Focus more on Allah Ta'ala. Do not ruin your health on account of the shenanigans of your husband. Maintain your health and use it to gain nearness to Allah Ta'ala. Increase ibaadat. Life on earth is short. It is full of trials. May Allah Ta'ala grant you strength and steadfastness on the Deen. May Allah Ta'ala guide your husband and protect you.
