How can I reconcile my submission to Allah’s divine decree and destiny with my feeling of blame towards my family who interfered in the annulment of my engagement, which I considered suitable?

The questioner is advised not to lament over what has passed or to invoke curses upon those who caused the annulment of the engagement, and to be certain that all of Allah's decrees are good. For Allah may avert something immediate and reserve something better, as He knows best what benefits His servant. It is necessary in the future to take permissible measures to prevent the annulment of an engagement without a legitimate reason. It is permissible for a woman to offer herself to a righteous man according to specific rules and etiquettes.
