My marriage is a happy one, but one day I was doing household work alone in intense heat and humidity. Because of that, I felt angry at my wife for not helping me. Disturbing thoughts, whispers, and strange ideas started coming into my mind, and perhaps I began imagining a conversation with my wife. In that state, I involuntarily said: “Go home. I want a divorce from you. Astaghfirullah, O Alla.....
