COVERED Edition 2 Issue 2 | Page 13

I first had to learn to forgive myself and then my husband. I also had to learn to forgive the parties we both were involved with. Not an easy task, I will not lie! The harder I struggled the more I turned to the ALLAH! It became easier and easier to deal with and I hope to inspire other women going through a similar situation by sharing my story. Ladies! Please know that adultery for any what reason you may think of is not worth it! For that few hours of pleasure it could lead to a lifetime of heartache! We allow ourselves to fall for temptation for we are weak! Shaytaan is powerful, he uses our lowest and weakest of moments to pounce! If we allow him to tempt us we allow him to win! Take my story as an example of one who allowed Shaytaan to steer me off the straight path. Use my story as hope to bring you back onto the straight path and on the path of Allah! Don’t condemn yourself, for when we admit we have faltered it is us accepting hidayat again and begging Allah for His Forgiveness allows us to heal ourselves and insha Allah heal those we hurt.
