I am engaged right now, and the problem is I don’t like this guy, as I don’t know him. And I really love some other guy. I’m just marrying him for my parents. There are some other difficulties in my life, I just want to get rid of all the problems. I believe in Allah like so much, that He will sure cure me from all this one day. Can u please give me some Dua so my all problems get solved.
Some things are not desirable to some people but if it is desirable to the elders that means there is some wisdom and good in it. The real thing is that a person should prepare himself or herself to be content and agreeable with the wishes of the elders. It is reported in the Koran “ sometimes you like something and it has harm in it for you, and other times you hate something and it has good in it for you”.
Therefore, in this case instead of displeasing the parents one should be ready to go along with their wish. If Allah wills there will be good in it, a person should also make dua that Allah grants him contentment with what ever has been prescribed for him. A person should be mindful of making these dua’s after the prayers.
