Hoping to marry this summer

**Xcoolamandax** · 02-21-2010

Salam alaikum,

I have a fiancé in Saudi Arabia whom I want to marry this summer. But he wants me to lose weight first and I need a visa. I'm working very hard to lose weight. I go to gym everyday. I'm afraid I cannot do it though. Another thing is the visa. I'm afraid I will not be able to get one. What can I do?

Sometimes you fall in love with a person and the more you fall in love with them the more attracted you are.

Sister, you can apply for a tourist visa if there is no visitor visa as you said in another post. Have you contacted the Saudi embassy?

I have contacted the embassy sister. I was told there is no visitor visa unless I am sent for by a mahram or am with an official tour group

Offer Istekhara salat ?

"O Allah! I seek goodness from Your Knowledge and with Your Power (and Might) I seek strength, and I ask from You Your Great Blessings, because You have the Power and I do not have the power.

You Know everything and I do not know, and You have knowledge of the unseen. Oh Allah! If in Your Knowledge this action ------------------------------------------------ (which I intend to do) is better for my religion and faith, for my life and end [death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter then make it destined for me and make it easy for me and then add blessings [baraka'] in it, for me.

O Allah! In Your Knowledge if this action is bad for me, bad for my religion and faith, for my life and end [death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter then turn it away from me and turn me away from it and whatever is better for me, ordain [destine] that for me and then make me satisfied with it."
