Feeling depressed
Question
I am struggling. Basically a boy came to see me for marriage a few months ago, he then rejected me, a similar situation occurd a month after and I was rejected again. This has had a major effect on my self-esteem. I feel down and depressed. I feel i'lll never get married. What duas do I pray to ease my situation. I made a mistake with my first proposal. I asked him questions that hurt his ego, he rejected me saying i'm too tall. This has been my biggest regret throughout my life. Please help!
Answer
There is no need to feel depressed and grieved. Everything happens with the will of Allah Ta'ala. Perhaps Allah Ta'ala has decreed somebody better and more suitable for you. Turn to Allah Ta'ala and ask Him to bless you with a pious and suitable spouse. Recite the following dua after salaah
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
