Is it permissible for a divorced woman who is still attached to her husband and wishes to return to him to continue in this attachment and hope of returning, given that he has a second wife, and considering the sadness, isolation, and depression she suffers due to her situation after the divorce?
Life is a trial, and a Muslim must be patient, for despair brings no good. This world is fleeting, and what Allah ordains is good. Allah Almighty says: "But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you." The Muslim's ultimate goal is Paradise. It is recommended to be patient, supplicate frequently, and seek righteous female friends. Among the recommended supplications are: "O Allah, I am Your servant and the son of Your servant..." and "O Allah, I hope for Your mercy, so do not abandon me to myself for the blink of an eye..." and "There is no god but Allah, the Almighty, the Forbearing..." and "Allah, Allah, my Lord, I do not associate anything with Him."
