Q: I want to get married because I'm afraid of falling in zina. But I don't know any person whom should I marry or as I belong to a broken family, my mother can't even take the responsibility of me. I have no guardian.
How do I get married? Is it destined? Or I have to do something? I prayed, did Istikhara and tahajjud too. I'm depressed badly. Please guide me.
A: There is no need to lose hope and become depressed. Turn to Allah Ta'ala and beg Him for His mercy. Everything happens on its appointed time.
To draw the mercy of Allah Ta'ala towards you and to bring barakah (blessing) in your life, you should ensure that you obey Allah Ta'ala and please Him at all times. Similarly, you should refrain from His disobedience. Ensure that you perform your five daily salaah on their prescribed times and observe strict pardah with all non mahrams. Protect your eyes, ears, tongue and heart from committing sins and daily reserve some time to recite the Quraan Majeed, engage in zikr, istighfaar and durood shareef.
After Salaah, recite the following dua and beg Allah Ta'ala to bless you with a suitable spouse who will be good for you in your deen and dunya:
رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيْر
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
