The answer

What happens in the universe is by Allah's decree and destiny. The believer gives thanks in prosperity and endures patiently in adversity, thereby earning reward. Affliction may be good for the servant, though he may not realize it, as Allah Almighty says: "And it may be that you dislike something while it is good for you." One must stop thinking about the man after divorce and not destroy oneself by suicide. As for the husband's mother corrupting your relationship, that is a sin, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "He is not of us who incites a woman against her husband."
