Is it true that a woman who wishes to marry a specific person should invoke the name of Allah "Al-Jami" by repeating it 114 times?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to supplicate for ease in marrying a specific man, but there is no evidence to support singling out the supplication with the name "al-Jami'" (the Gatherer) or specifying a particular number for the supplication. These matters are توقيفية (وقفية - based on divine revelation) and can only be established by religious texts. Many scholars are of the opinion that the name "al-Jami'" is not among the Beautiful Names of Allah the Almighty. It is permissible for a woman to offer herself to a righteous man in accordance with legitimate Islamic guidelines.
