Request:
Assalam-Alaikum Sheikh Hisham:
May Allah bless you, Sheikh Nazim, and all the pious and righteous and give you that which will bring you eternal happiness. Ameen.
Dear Sheikh Hisham:
My parents have been searching prospects for my groom. And so far, the two prospects are [private] and [private]. My own name is [private]. I request istikhara on my behalf on a.) who the better prospect is b.) or even if none of them are and I am meant to marry someone else.
To be honest, I am very confused about how I will know who Allah means for me to marry, as I cannot figure this matter out.
Jazakallah Khair.
My Sincere Regards and Salaam,
Alahumma sale ala Muhammadin wa ala ali Muhammadin wa sallam.
Response:
wa `alaykum salam,
Amin. The one who loves and respects Awliya is the best one for you.
