Becoming despondent due to not getting married

· 22 Shawwal 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

There is a huge blockage in my marriage, since I have no specific demand, yet I am not getting married. I do a lot of istighfar, read Surah Rahman, and done many wazifa but all went in vain. My parents are very sick and I have no other guardian, that's why I am in depression for not getting married, what should I do?

Answer

There is no reason for you to become depressed and lose hope. Turn to Allah Ta'ala and beg Him to fulfil your needs with aafiyah and respect and grant you His special mercy and grace. Everything is decreed by Allah Ta'ala to take place at its time, and a mu'min should never become despondent.

After the five daily salaah, recite the following dua and beg Allah Ta'ala to grant you a pious spouse who will be good for you in your deen and your dunya. May Allah Ta'ala fulfil your halaal wishes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
