Don't Ask

As tempting as it may be, let’s try to not ask Allah to give us a specific spouse ‘by name’. We might really like someone and imagine them to be our only Mr or Mrs Right, our Destiny.  

If it hasn’t worked out after performing Istikhara (prayer for guidance), let’s rest assured that only Allah knows what that particular person is truly like and whether they would be a ‘pure match’ for us.   

Instead let’s ask Allah to choose our spouse, to guide us to who He knows will be a good match. By truly putting our trust in our Creator we will be certain that He will give us someone better suited to us than we would have chosen ourselves, Insha’Allah!
