Parting ways to draw nearer to Allah
As the title says, my wife and I ended our marriage after 3 years for the sake of my deen. She was a non-Muslim who embraced Islam this Ramadan and was sincerely seeking guidance just like me. During our time together, we fell into haram acts, even though I knew the seriousness of my actions, I let it continue. I lost my rizq, my values, and the peace that Islam once gave me. She's not a bad person, nor did she pull me away from my faith-it was all my doing. I'm in my mid-20s with no wealth, only debt. I've learned the hard way and must keep asking Allah's forgiveness while trying to fix the damage. It's tough, honestly-she was my best friend, and we understood each other effortlessly. But the incompatibility in our deen ruined what could've been beautiful. Still, we sinned, and Allah made a way for us to separate so easily. Every time I asked for guidance, we'd have a conversation that led to ending things. Only a fool like me would ignore the signs for the sake of pleasure. I prioritized pleasure and now have nothing. I can't find a job no matter what-over 500 applications, and nothing. Allah has closed a door, and I'm grateful He still calls me back despite my sins. This won't be easy, but there's light at the end of the tunnel. Please make du'a for me. I miss Allah, and praying felt so healing today. May we all find the peace and happiness we deserve by Allah's will.
