I am but an average bloke, struggling with the time scales involved, on top of a new religion that has made things more difficult than before. I know �the ink has dried� but that is making things difficult in itself, does it mean Allah is withholding? I am confused because I thought there wouldn�t come a test that we were not capable of passing!?

Allah has created men and women to compliment each other in temperament in a wedlock, where at the same time the bond grows into an institution that builds healthy families and healthy societies. This companionship is for peace and harmony for the soul. Those who enter into wedlock taking care of all the duties and responsibilities are said to complete 50% of their religion. 

While recognising all the good things about marriage in Islam,  though the believers are encouraged to marry, whosoever has the means to do so, if one is unable to bear the responsibilities of a family and family life he may wait for better circumstances.

One should ask allah for every need, and have sincere faith that He will fulfill. At the same time as a believer it is our duty to remain patient and forbearing of our circumstances, and firmly believe that there is always a right time for the prayers to be answered. This time is not brought forward or postponed as we so wish.  Whatever tests we are put through from allah, bring us closer to Him, deliver us stronger in faith, and give us better understanding of His religion.

So, don't be weary of your circumstances. Be constant in your prayers, maintain your righteousness, and remain patient. Ask Him to make it easy for you and not difficult. Insha allah He will give you the means to get married when it is the right time for you.

Maa salaama,
