Question
salam 3laykom
i would like to know about the punishment of the one who try or who lead to the divorce of married couples? and how can we deal with such mean people and to avoid them from doing the same for us?

Answer
Wa aleykum us sallam

I'm not aware of a particular punishment for that, although there might be one.

My advice is recite athkar morning and evening, to offer all your sunnah and fard prayers, including mid-morning and late-night prayers, to offer sunnah fasts on Mondays and Thursdays, and to read the Holy Qur'an daily.  Also, Muslims must be careful to observe Islamic manners in relations with the opposite gender--to dress modestly, avoid close social involvement and even eye contact.  It's always better, on social occasions, for men and women to sit separately, and once you get used to it, it makes for a much cosier and merrier gathering.

May Allah bless, forgive, and guideus all.
