I actually have the funniest story to answer
this question.
So my friend was trying to get married
and this brother was introduced to her and
she like was really excited about marrying this
guy.
So she's making istikhara and she's telling me
like she like is looking for a sign
from Allah that this is like the right
one for her.
And she's driving and then as she's driving
there is a car in front of her
and on the license plate of that car
is his name.
And his name was not like or like
a very common Muslim name.
It was a very clearly Muslim name but
it's one that not a lot of people
have.
So she was like Allah sent me a
sign this brother's name on the license plate
on the car in front of me.
Fast forward, she does not marry this brother
and being patient in the face of saying
goodbye to that was very difficult for her.
She had difficulty accepting that what she had
wanted was actually maybe not the best for
her even though she thought she saw a
clear sign from Allah.
And so instead what she did is continue
to be patient and continue to pray and
alhamdulillah Allah blessed her.
And I have many friends who've had similar
stories where they had like this dream where
they were like marrying this guy and they
were sure he was the one.
And it ended up that they were not
the best match and Allah blessed each of
them with someone different and some of them
are still single.
And sometimes Allah chooses something that we don't
understand for our life and that's really sometimes
the answer that we won't know exactly until
we are going through the process and until
maybe a different door opens or something is
clear.
So what we can do is continue to
do the acts of worship, continue to have
hope, continue to have certainty in the dua
and say a clause.
Make the clause oh Allah if this is
best for me make the dua and ask
oh Allah if it's not bless me with
something better.
You know so keep doing the work, keep
having hope, keep praying and when Allah opens
the way for you inshallah you'll know until
then keep praying.
