The answer

The intellectual and behavioral deviation among Muslim youth stems from weak Islamic upbringing, the absence of the scholars' role, and the diminished influence of the mosque, in addition to the machinations of enemies. This situation is even worse for Muslims residing in non-Islamic countries.

This places a great responsibility on reformers to guide and advise people, enjoin good, and forbid evil. Your husband did well in dissuading you from despair and abandoning the call to Allah. Da'wah (calling to Islam) requires knowledge, certainty, gentleness, patience, and hope, and it should begin with priorities such as correcting creed and performing obligatory duties.

We advise you to search Islamic web fatwas regarding issues concerning women, such as female genital mutilation, the ruling on apostasy from Islam, evidence that Islam is the true religion, and the conditions for a Muslim to reside in non-Muslim countries.
