Salaam,
My husband and I are new muslims, alhamdulillah. But we are having some marriage problems and need to know the best way forward in order to prevent jeopardising our faith and to protect our souls in the hereafter.
To explain the problems very briefly, my husband is less pious than I am, therefore, his intentions and actions are not always driven by his faith. At times, because my knowledge base is limited, I don't always react in a way that is pleasing to Allah. May Allah forgive me. Plus we have three boys between us that are step brothers and I feel I need more knowledge on my responsibilities as a step mother.
I am happy to discuss further details, but I don't know whether to discuss with a trustworthy sheikh or to discuss my affairs on this forum. I appreciate you will have the best intentions, but I want to avoid getting too many points of views and feeling confused. I have performed istikhara about divorce and / or emigrating.
I know there is a verse on seeking advice among believers and not non believers about ones affairs, but I won't be able to find it quickly. I have been seeking advice from the lata, may Allah forgive me. This is mainly because I live in a part of the world where there is virtually a 0.02% muslim population. There is only one mosque located in the capital. We live 2 hours away by car from the capital. Hence, my reason for wanting to find a Sheikh and discussing on this forum.
Please make dua for my family and I that Allah may guide and make it easy for us.
Wa Sallam
