Question:
A. Alaykum.
Ever since I began being closer to Allah and our Deen I have unintentionally pulled away from my husband Intimacy and understanding. I have tried and pray but he is becoming a stranger. I am more pulled into world of ibadat. Alhamdulillah.
Answer:
Wa alaikum Salaam wa rahmatullah,
If your husband is a good man, make your intention of Ibadat to increase kindness, compassion, love between you and Allah and you and the creation (including your husband). Sitting with your husband, spending quality time with him is also considered a sunnah and ibadat.
Worship should be a door to self knowledge and our humanity to know Allah intimately,
but sometimes it can lead to bypassing important human needs such as intimacy. Discern well and may Allah bless you with completion of your deen!
Wa Allahu Alam,
Kamau
