| Assalaamu 'alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatahu Pray you are all in the best of health and eeman, Ameen. Dear brothers and sister...I wanted to request a special dua from you all....we know as believers, that the strength in sincere supplication is something so very powerful and there's a sahih hadith which states that the only thing that can change fate, is a sincere dua. I'm in a difficult time in my life at the moment...I have been offered a marriage proposal from a brother I have known for the past 2 years, but my parents are totally against the idea. I have performed istikharah several times, and so far I have had only good feelings and good signs about it all. I continuously ask Allah swt for guidance and to show me the way that is most pleasing to Him. Their objections are based on what the brother does for a living (he works in the police force) and the standard of living of his family, both of which are not important to me. The main attraction on my part is that of the deen within the home. InshaAllah, if you could make a dua for me, that Allah swt in His infinite Mercy shows me the way, illuminates the path of goodness for me, and if this is truly best for me, that my parents are quick to realise it too. JazakhumAllah khairan. Wassalaamu 'alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatahu |

| Salam sister, You are definitley in my duaa's. I think that if you did ishtikara (plz don't mind the spelling) a few times and have gotten the same result (good) then the obvious thing to me is that he is the one for you. One thing that I am leaning towards he is the one as well because you spoke of the deen in the home. That is great :) If he is a good man, good muslim, works hard, and the deen is there.......I don't see a reason for your parents to disagree. The best thing I would say is to have a calm discussion with your parents, maybe even make some notes together on pro's and con's......I have learned that fussing and yelling does not help during a discussion with parents....hahaha...........I think making notes helps a lot and it may help you show your parents all the positives and maybe more that they didn't see before. I don't know if that helps, but inshallah it does. So many of you on this board have helped me with my questions, I hope I can do the same. Inshallah Khair! Allah know's what's best, and all things happen for a reason! ;) Keep in touch on the situation. Sis Sunnah_ |
