Request:
Assalamu’alaykum ya Sayyidi,
I met a woman. She is a convert and interested in the Naqshbandi-Haqqani.
We intend to get married but there is a little problem. Her mother had selected a candidate to be her future husband without her knowing it. She doesn’t approve of her mother’s decision and prefers to marry me. She can accept me as I am, though I haven’t worked yet. Even so, she did not dare to deny her mother, fearing considered seditious. Her father has died. And I haven’t had a chance to meet her mother.
I need blessing and guidance from you oh Mawlana qs on things I should do to get her mother’s approval. Also please pray for us
Destur Madad ya Sayyidi
Our greatest gratitude to you.
Wassalamu’alaykum
Response:
Alaykum Salam,
Introduce yourself and let your parents make a formal offer together with a nice gift to her mother. She will only be happy to have two choices instead of one but needs to think. Hope for the best.
