Is the fact that a woman who is about to get married does not form relationships before the official engagement considered a reason for suitors to run away, and should she change her approach? Is her hijab a reason for her not getting married? And do the coldness she feels during prayer, the seemingly unanswered prayers for herself, the spasms and pain she experiences when reading the Quran, and the disturbing dreams she sees after reading it have any connection to this?
Everything happens by Allah's decree, and whatever spouses have been written for you will come to you. Therefore, you must be patient and supplicate, for it is one of the greatest means of achieving what is sought. Do not pay attention to the whispers of Satan that you are the most miserable of people. Rather, remember Allah's blessings upon you, such as Islam and good health. Have a good opinion of Allah, and seek the help of your friends in searching for a righteous husband. It is permissible for you to offer yourself to righteous men, while adhering to Sharia guidelines and maintaining proper manners and modesty when dealing with non-mahram men. If you are suffering from psychological pain, it may be due to thinking about marriage, and you can consult doctors. If you strongly suspect that the reason for suitors turning away is magic or the evil eye, then you must perform ruqyah (Islamic exorcism), recite the Quran, and remember Allah.
