The answer

The message reveals a contradiction between the questioner's actions and her desire not to disobey God, and this is one of the effects of sins that corrupt the mind and blind the heart. The questioner has fallen into several শরعي (religious law) violations: 1. Forbidden relationships: It began with a love relationship with her first husband before marriage, and the same thing is happening now while she is married to another man. 2. Improper mixing at work: Her job may involve forbidden mixing with non-mahram men. 3. Leaving the marital home without permission: She left her husband's home without permission based on her complaint about her husband's mother's words, and this is not permissible Islamically. 4. Forbidden relationship with another man: The most heinous violation is her relationship with another man who is asking to marry her while she is already married, and this is forbidden and considered betrayal and a reprehensible act.

Regret and self-accountability are good signs for returning to the truth, and one must not follow the footsteps of Satan. To purify the soul and preserve religion, one must: 1. Observe prayers with humility. 2. Draw closer to righteous company. 3. Stay away from singing, musical instruments, and forbidden amusements.

A Muslim must repent immediately from sins and not persist in them, and not deceive people in matters that anger God.
