The answer

A Muslim must know Allah as He deserves to be known, show proper respect for Him, and be attached to Him, without objecting to His divine decree and destiny. The statement "I am upset with Allah" contradicts this and has severe consequences. Therefore, one must fight off such thoughts and seek refuge with Allah from Satan.

The future is unseen, and the future is in Allah's hands. Thus, one must be patient during trials and turn to Allah in supplication to grant her a husband better than him. It has been authentically reported from Umm Salamah, may Allah be pleased with her, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There is no Muslim who is afflicted by a calamity and says what Allah has commanded him: {Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return.} O Allah, reward me in my calamity and replace it with something better than it, but Allah will replace it with something better than it."

There is no harm for a woman to offer herself for marriage to someone whose righteousness she hopes for, while observing the limits of Islamic law, seeking counsel, and performing Istikhara.
