05 August, 2023
Q I married a revert 6 years ago from and we have a daughter of 4.5 years old. He was all good and practicing for a few years. Then we went into huge financial loss and debt and started to get into depression, he also come from a broken family. He is very responsible as a father and husband but he says weird things, he never says he doesn't believe in Allah and His Messenger (saw) but he doesn't pray and doesn't like rituals. What should I do?

Financial struggles and losses led your husband into depression. He was a practicing Muslim, but apparently he lost faith in Allah. You want to know how to deal with this and help him find his way back.

Depression can cause apathy to such an extent that everything, even worship, seems meaningless.

If he hasn’t been to therapy, kindly advise him to visit a professional who will make the necessary assessments to decide about the best intervention.

Having your support will probably mean a lot, even if he is unable to express it now.
