Is there a noble Hadith that prefers the marriage of those who love each other, what is the ruling on love with the intention of marriage, and what should I do to secure my professional and financial status for marriage?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a person loves a woman of piety and good character, Islamic law encourages him to marry her, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Nothing is seen for two who love each other better than marriage." If it is highly probable that her family will refuse due to differences in countries or job instability, then it is preferable to turn away from her or to be patient. As for securing one's job situation, it entails:

1. Seeking help from Allah and frequently supplicating: Such as the supplication of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and accepted deeds."

2. Having Taqwa (God-consciousness): As Allah Almighty says: "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect."

3. Relying on Allah and striving: As the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If you were to rely upon Allah with true reliance, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds; they go out hungry in the morning and return with full bellies in the evening." Marriage itself is one of the means of provision.
