I went into my husband's cell phone and discovered that he was chatting to women, even non-Muslims.

Answer

What you have discovered about your husband is not at all

surprising for us. Almost every man, including molvis and sheikhs, are involved in this type of filth - cellphone zina. Since they lack Taqwa, they have no fear for Allah Ta'ala.

Their hearts are like the hearts of atheists. While they verbally profess to believe that Allah Ta'ala is Present and sees us at all times, and while they proclaim with their tongues belief in the presence of the two Recording Angels, they completely sideline these beliefs when they misuse their eyes and when they sin. Then to soothe the evil nafs they conveniently forget that Allah Ta'ala watches and the Angels are recording.

Although we understand the pain which your husband's cellphone zina is causing you, you must expect this type of shaitaani conduct because your husband lacks Taqwa.

Reflect much on the consequences of divorce for you and the children. Make no emotional decision. Make dua for his reformation. Understand well that Dua is a powerful and wonderful cure for all issues.

If perhaps in the past you had also committed similar misdemeanours, then mellow your pain with your own misdeeds and sins. Say to yourself: 'I too was guilty of similar conduct.' Cellphone zina is a disease in which all men and also all women today are trapped. No one really believes in the Ever- Presence of Allah Ta'ala and the two Recording Angels. That is why sins are premeditated. Muslims sin just like kuffaar sin.
