In Islam the burden of proof for accusing another of having
sexual relations is very high and for a good reason. It is a very big sin for which the penal code
is applied. Those Muslim who are living
in the west and somehow fall into this sin should in my opinion, seek
forgiveness from Allah and not tell anyone - especially their spouse. Now that you know it is your choice to remain
in the marriage or leave. If, in my
opinion, your marriage prior to knowledge of this occurrence was great - you
love your husband, then you may want to consider whether to forgive and move on
or not. Allah has allowed divorce for a
reason and you have every right to take this option. Your husband made a bad mistake, and may very
well become a better person given your understanding and support. Don't make your decision based upon
"Allah hating divorce" because He would not have allowed it
otherwise, and don't make a decision seeking
blessings or "rewards" for staying. Think deeply about your ability to forgive
and move on. Are you able to live with this
severe blow to trust in your relationship?
Certainly you are now sad and depressed, this is normal, but in time the
pain will likely lessen. It will not be
easy. Only time will heal your hurt
feelings. We ask Allah, Most High, to
guide you to the best decision.
"To Allah we belong and unto Him is our return. Oh Allah! recompense me for my affliction and
replace it for me with something better."
Insha'Allah, whoever says this supplication Allah will replace for him
with something better..Muslim عن ام سلمه رضي الله عنها قالت : سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول : � ما من عبد تصيبه مصيبة ، فيقول : إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون : اللهم أجرني في مصيبتي ، واخلف لي خيرا منها، إلا أجره الله تعالى في مصيبته وأخلف له خيرا منها . قالت : فلما توفي أبو سلمة ، قلت كما أمرني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأخلف الله لي خيرا منه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم . رواه مسلم
