What is the way to find help amidst the distress of this world, feelings of despair, self-loathing, and lethargy regarding acts of worship and work, after experiencing divorce, in order to avoid the disappointment of the Hereafter?
To overcome loneliness and pain, one should engage in sincere repentance to Allah Almighty, which transforms bad deeds into good ones. Allah Almighty says: "Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful."
Strengthen your connection with Allah through prayer, for it restrains from indecency and evil, and the closest a servant can be to his Lord is while prostrating.
Avoid sins and distance from Allah. Choose righteous companionship that aids in obedience, for Satan strives to mislead people and make sins appealing to them.
Engage frequently in the remembrance of Allah so that the heart may find tranquility and the soul be happy. Allah Almighty says: "Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured." And whoever turns away from the remembrance of Allah will have a constricted life.
