The answer

You were advised to perfect your supplication and wish for a righteous husband, one of good character and religious commitment, citing the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "If there comes to you one whose character and religious commitment you approve, then marry him," and a story about Al-Hasan Al-Basri. You emphasized the importance of supplication as the best means to achieve wishes, and that the Lord commanded it and promised to answer. You clarified that mentioning the name of someone you do not like is not necessarily a divine message or a satanic whisper, and that you are not obligated to agree to him. You were also guided to inquire about suitors from trustworthy individuals and perform Istikhara, with the permissibility for a woman to offer herself in marriage to someone she desires.
