Marriage probably crosses the minds of many of your readers at least once a day. Whether you are in the process of marriage<\/a><\/strong> or just thinking about it. The most significant question is \u201chow do I know this person is the one for me?\u201d Now, I do not have an answer to that question, but I am here to provide you with some tips to consider when searching for the one. Consider this a quick marriage proposal<\/strong> checklist.<\/p>\n

Renew your intention and Get Closer to Allah<\/h3>\n

The process of finding a partner can be very stressful and even disheartening at times. It is important to renew your purpose get closer to Allah (SWT) during this time rather than focusing on other things. Renew your intention by reminding yourself that marriage is one of the signs of Allah (SWT).<\/strong> He says in the Qur\u2019an,<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy.Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.\u201d [Chapter 30: 21].<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A sign is something that leads you to a destination. In this case, our destiny is Allah (SWT). Therefore, marriage (and the process) should be leading you to Allah (SWT).<\/p>\n

Have Taqwa<\/h3>\n

By this, I mean to have taqwa in your pursuit of marriage. Be conscious of Allah (SWT) all the way through. In Islam, the ends do not justify the means. Do not do what is prohibited in the process to meet the end goal of marriage.<\/p>\n

When you do what is right and what is liked by Allah (SWT), He will descend his barakah <\/i>and ease your affairs for you. Brothers, if you are serious about considering a sister for marriage, go through the proper channels.<\/p>\n

Ask people who may know her and once you are satisfied with their information, approach the sister\u2019s mahram <\/i>and let them know what your intentions are. Do not waste your time or the sister\u2019s time through non-halal <\/i>avenues. For sisters, remember that a brother should go through the proper channels if he is genuinely interested in proposing.<\/p>\n

Ask Smart Questions<\/h3>\n

A lot of times, both brothers and sisters<\/a><\/strong> string each other along, feigning interest, and when it is time to involve the parents, one of them gives some kind of excuse and drops out of the equation. If you are serious, get the parents involved as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Once you are at the stage of meeting each other and assessing compatibility, ask smart questions! Favorite colors and animals will not tell you anything important about the person. Ask about things that really matter to you and things that are important to consider before spending the rest of your life with that person. For example:<\/p>\n
