Is supplicating for the reunion of the family or the return to the husband considered an objection to Allah's decree and destiny? And can the decree be averted by it? Is divorce in this manner permissible and considered a form of terrorizing a Muslim? And will Allah answer my supplication to mend the situation and return home?

Among the most important reasons for which supplication (Du'a) was legislated is the removal of affliction. Allah answers the supplication of the distressed and removes harm. Supplication does not contradict divine decree (Qadar); rather, it is part of it, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Nothing averts divine decree except supplication," or "Nothing averts divine decree except supplication."

Supplication is not considered an objection to Allah, for He is the One who commanded it, as He said: "Call upon Me; I will respond to you."

Divorce is disliked without need, and it may be forbidden by some because it is a harm. The husband should have considered the feelings of his wife.

It is advisable to strive for reconciliation and reconciliation if it is not the third divorce. Otherwise, what Allah has decreed may be good for both of you, for "if they separate, Allah will enrich each of them from His abundance." Allah does not decree anything for a believer except that it is good for him.
