I did Istekhara with the help of Qur'an in that I receive a translation (And I bestowed upon you love from Me that you would be brought up under My eye.) {tanslation of sorah taha end lines of ayat 38-39}. This istikhara is for separation from my husband because of some issue. So I just want to know what Allah Ta'ala said in that is this right for me to get separate or not? Kindly respond to me as soon as possible as I am very tensed.
