Wife committing zina

Question

I can't seem to get over my wife's infidelity. This happened a year and few months ago. I can't stop thinking about it and I feel so hurt. My heart can't bare it. What can I do to get over this. I'm still with her and she is repenting for her sins. Is there a dua that will help me.

Answer

Think about the wrongs and mistakes that you have committed and how Allah Ta`ala has covered your faults and forgiven you. If she has repented and changed her ways, then Allah Ta'ala will forgive her.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
