Question:
Salam,
I am in love with a boy, who I have known for many years. However, my mom and brother don’t believe he is worth me since he is not as educated or as wealthy and he is related to my brother in law. I have prayed, made dua, read nafl for help but no response. My family means a lot to me so I don’t want to run away. Please help me. I need a dua that I can recite in order for my mom and brother to approve my marriage to this boy that I love. I need a dua that will clear all obstacles in my path that separate us. I also would like a dua to speak to my father who passed away and perhaps get to hear if he is against my marriage to this boy as my brother said he was.
Allah Hafiz
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
They are not against your love, they are only concerned for the practical side of your happiness. However, let the boys make a formal proposal and if there is serious intention your family will take it into consideration in sha Allah. Recite Ya Fattah, Ya Razzaq x100 daily.
