Day after Day divorce rates are increasing. This bitter reality has come about due to many factors that couples are heedless of.

Divorce rates have increased first and foremost as a result of:
1. Not fulfilling the rights and duties of Allah,
2. Transgressing the boundaries set by Him(SWT).

And so Allah punishes a person or a married couple by causing destablisation within the marital relationship.


Divorce rates are also on the increase as a result of:
1. After one or both of the spouses began treating the rights and obligations of each other and their children lightly.
2. Parents getting involved with the affairs of their married children, where they shouldn’t be getting involved.
3. Divorce is increasing due to gambling, consuming intoxicants such as alcohol and illicit drugs.
4. Divorce continues to rise as result of engagement in unlawful matters: mixed weddings, music and singing, not adhering to the correct Islamic apparel, purchasing houses and cars through riba (usury and interest), in addition to insuring them through prohibited means.

5. Divorce continues to rise as more and more Muslims are refraining from paying zakaat, and due to their neglect and abandonment of Salaat, which the scholars of Islam said is one of the fundamental contributing factors towards divorce.

5. Divorce is increasing as result of not lowering the gaze from looking at the opposite gender that Allah commanded not to be looked at, whether this happens on the streets, in shopping centers, watching television, on the internet, or other places.
