Question:
Salaams dear Shaykhs,
My sister is unmarried and several proposals have come but they always fail for some reason or the other. It has become very stressful for our parents and her. What zikhr may we recite or action can we take to help her?
Jazak Allah.
Answer:
Waalaykumussalam warahmatullah,
Do not surmise that “they always fail” as you do not know that and it is poor adab with your nurturing Lord. It is better to surmise none of them was the right one and therefore be happy and thankful. Stand in night prayer, make istighfar, give sadaqa, command yourselves to be patient and thankful, ask Allah for His bounty. Recite Al `Imran 3:16-17.
