Praise be to Allaah.
First of all, we would like to congratulate you for having been guided by Allaah to embrace Islam, the true and final religion. I ask Allaah to help us and you remain steadfast in adhering to it until we die.
I give you the glad tidings of the words that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to the Sahaabah: "There will come a time when patience is required of the one who adheres (to Islam), and he will have the reward of fifty of you." They said, "Of them?" He said, "No, of you." (Narrated by Ibn Nasr; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Silsilat al-Saheehah, 494)
Before you think of divorce, try to play the role of a daa'iyah, calling your husband and those around you to Islam. This will benefit others and help you to remain steadfast. You have an example of that in the righteous believing women such as Umm al-Mu'mineen (the Mother of the Believers) Khadeejah (may Allaah be pleased with her), who played a great role in making the heart of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) remain firm and steadfast when his mission began. Whenever he mentioned her after she had died, he would praise her in glowing terms, as was narrated by 'Aa'ishah who said: "The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) mentioned Khadeejah one day, and he praised her highly." (Musnad al-Imam Ahmad, 24684; classed as hasan by al-Haythami in al-Majma')
Another example is Umm Sulaym (may Allaah be pleased with her). Abu Talhah [who was not yet a Muslim at that time] proposed marriage to her, and she said: "By Allaah, O Abu Talhah, a man like you is not to be refused, but you are a kaafir man and I am a Muslim woman. It is not permissible for me to marry you, but if you become Muslim, that will be my mahr (dowry)." So he became Muslim, and that was her mahr. (Narrated by al-Nasaa'i, 3341; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa'i, 3133)
So start – may Allaah help you – by calling your husband and convincing him by all kinds of means to adhere to Islam and its obligations, such as prayer, wearing hijaab, etc, especially since he is already Muslim. Calling one's husband is one of the ways that lead to Paradise.
I hope that Allaah will guide your husband through your sincere advice. Also make a lot of du'aa' for him. If after some time you do not see any improvement, or you think that you will be able to find someone to marry who is better than this husband, then think of divorce. This is only if this man is negligent about his prayers, praying sometimes and not at other times. But if he has forsaken prayer altogether and does not even pray on his own, then it is not permissible for you to stay with him, because forsaking prayer constitutes disbelief in Allaah.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The covenant that stands between us and them is prayer; whoever gives it up is a kaafir." (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2621; al-Nasaa'i, 463 and others. It is a saheeh report. Al-Mishkaat, 574)
And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Between a man and shirk and kufr, there stands his giving up prayer." (Narrated by Muslim, 82).
For yourself, be patient in adhering to hijaab even though it may be difficult. How much did our examples, the men and women of the Sahaabah, suffer for the sake of Allaah; we suffer only a fraction of what they suffered. This is the path to Paradise. For Hell is surrounded with whims and desires and Paradise is surrounded with difficulties.
Be certain that hijaab is only difficult because it is new to you. If you are patient and have faith, this difficulty will fade – in sha Allaah – and it will become easy and you will become comfortable with the hijaab. If you remember the reward, that which is difficult will become easier.
The fact that you are wearing hijaab even though you find it difficult is a sign that your faith is strong.
I ask Allaah to make us and you steadfast in adhering to the religion. Ameen.
As-salamu 'alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh (May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you!)
It is of the Sunnah for a Muslim to say after each obligatory Salah, whether one is the Imam (the one who leads the congregational Salah), Ma'mum (a person being led by an Imam in Prayer) or Mufarid (a person who performs prayer alone) to say, three times
"Astagfir Allah" [#1]
(I ask Allah forgiveness)
and then say,
"Allahumma Anta Al-Salam Wa Minka Al-Salam, Tabarakta Wa Ta'alayta Ya-dhal-Jalali Wal-Ikram" [#1]
(O Allah, You are Al-Salam [the One Who is free from all defects and deficiencies] and from You is all peace, blessed are You, Possessor of majesty and honor!)
If one is Imam, one should turn facing the people. The Imam, those praying behind him, or a person offering Salah individually should say,
"La Ilaha Illa Allah, Wahdahu La Sharika Lah, Lahul-Mulku Wa-Lahul-Hamdu, Wa-Huwa 'Ala Kulli Shai'in Qadir,
La Hawla Wa-La Quwwata Illa Billah, La Ilaha Illa Allah Wa-La Na'budu Illa Iyyahu, Lahun-Ni'matu Wa-Lahul-Fadl, Wa-Lahu Ath-Thanaa'u Al-Hasan, La Ilaha Illa Allah Mukhlisina, Lahud-Dina Wa-Law Karihal-Kafirun. Allahumma La Mani'a Lima A'tait Wa-La Mu'ty Lima Man't, Wa-La Yanfa'u Dhal-Gaddu Minkal-Gadd. [#2]
(None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without any partner. To Allah belong all sovereignty and praise. He is Omnipotent over all things. There is no might nor power except with Allah. None has the right to be worshipped except Him. We worship none but Him. To Allah all favor, grace, and praise are due. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah and we are sincere in faith and devotion to Him although disbelievers detest it. Oh Allah! Oh Allah! None can prevent what You willed to give and none can grant what You have willed to prevent, and no wealth or majesty can benefit anyone, as from You is all wealth and majesty).
After offering Maghrib (Sunset) Prayer and Fajr (Dawn) Prayer one should say along with what is mentioned previously,
"La Ilah Illa Allah Wahdahu La Sharika Lahu Lahu Al-Mulk Wa Lahu Al-Hamd Yuhyi Wa Yumit Wa Huwa 'Ala Kulli Shay'in Qadir"
(There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah Alone, He have no associate. His is the Dominion to Him is due all praise; He gives life and causes death and He has power over all things)
After that, one is to say each of the following supplications thirty three times;
(a) "Subhana Allah" (Glory is to Allah),
(b) Al-Hamdu Lillah (praise is due to Allah) and
(c) "Allahu Akbar" (Allah is the Great),
and then complete the hundred by saying,
"La Ilah Illa Allah, Wahdahu La Sharika Lah, Lahu Al-Mulk Wa Lahu Al-Hamd, Yuhyi Wa Yumit, Wa Huwa 'Ala Kull Shay'in Qadir".
It is recommended for the Imam, Ma'mum, and Munfarid to recite these supplications audibly after each obligatory Salah in a low voice without disturbing others. It is authentically reported in the two Sahih on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that raising one's voice in supplication after concluding the obligatory Salah was during the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "I used to know when they finished the Salah by this (supplications as they were said aloud) if I heard them."
However, it is not permissible to say these supplications collectively. Each worshipper should recite them individually without observing the voice of others, because reciting supplications collectively is Bid'ah and has no basis in the divine Shari'ah (law) of Allah.
It is recommended for Imam, Ma'mum, and Munfarid to recite
Ayat-ul-Kursy (the Qur'anic Verse of Allah's Foot stool, Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255) [#3]
inaudibly. After that,
Surah-Al-Iklas (the Qur'an, Surah 112),
Surah-Al-Falaq (the Qur'an, Surah 113), and
Surah-Al-Nas (the Qur'an, Surah 114)
inaudbly after each obligatory Salah and repeat them three times after the Maghrib (Sunset) and Fajr (Dawn) Salahs. [#4]
This is preferable, for the authenticity of what we have mentioned above. May Allah's Peace and Blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, His companions, and those who follow him rightfully till the Day of Judgment.
