Well the icon being gone doesn't necessarily mean the contacts are gone. First you would need to re-add the icon to the home screen.
If you tap and hold the screen (anywhere in the background) it should bring up the icons that can be added. Then just choose the one you want (contacts) to re-add it to the home screen. Then, once it is there, you can see if the contacts are still in there or actually gone.
If they are actually gone, then you would need to first see if they were synced to your google account. If so, you can get them from there and put them back on the phone. If not, then you can try the following.
While there is no guaranty that you can get them back. Deleted does mean deleted. There are a few apps/programs out there that 'may' be able to help you recover the data.
A few of the programs you could try would be... DiskDigger, MobiSaver, Android-Recovery and Tenorshare. They are all data recovery apps/programs. There are many others out there, so check around and see which you would rather try. There is also one called RECUVA, that I have heard is free, which you could try.
One important note though, most of these programs are not free. They may say they are "free" or have "Free Trials" and "Free Downloads". Yet to actually recover your data, and get your files back, you may be have to purchase the program/app. Just so you know.
NOTE: For future reference, I really would suggest backing up your data to a computer or cloud. Often. Better to spend the time doing that, rather than to be out all that stuff if the phone dies, things get deleted/erased or it gets stolen.
