Question

There is one brother that I'm interested, I can't seem to get him off my mind, so I prayed Salatul Istikhaarah and made Dua. After a couple days, the brother asked for my hand in marriage and this brother is not aware that I like him. Does this mean this is a sign from Allah Subanahu wa Ta'ala InshaAllah ta'ala? He already as well asked my wali and my wali said yes and all. I hope this message reaches you in the highiest Iman and in good health inshaAllah ta'ala. May Allah subanahu wa ta'ala reward for this Allahumma Aameeen...

Answer

Sister, the only advice that I can give you is to take note of his commitment to Islam. If he is one who attemps to fulfill the faraaidh (compulsory actions like Salaah, Zakaah etc) and the Sunnah of Rasul sallalahu alaihi wasallam (good conduct etc.), then perform Salatul Istikhaarah, seek the advices of your wali and put your trust in Allah. There are many resources to guide you. One resource is at the web site http://www.islameasy.org/marriage-in-islam.php The kitab "Nikah (marriage) in Islam" written by Maulana Asharaf Ali Thanwi (RA) is also beneficial.

And Allah knows best.
