What is one to do if they avoid the haram, but cannot find the halal in love?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Congratulations on abstaining from the unlawful, and glad tidings of Allah's facilitation of legitimate desires for whoever abandons prohibitions, based on the hadith: "Whoever seeks abstinence, Allah will make him abstinent; and whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient," and verses from Surat An-Nur and At-Talaq. It is recommended to supplicate frequently for a righteous spouse and to exert legitimate efforts for marriage, such as offering oneself through a Mahram to someone whose religiosity and character are approved.
