When a person intends undertaking an important task, he should do the following:
1. Make Du’aa to Allah Ta’ala for guidance.
2. Perform Salaat of need (Haajat)
3. Offer some charity according to one’s means.
4. Consult with one’s seniors and pious people
5. Consult with the Ulama and enquire if the advise given is according to the Shari’ah if you are doubtful.
6. If you have identified (see) a girl for marriage, then you should discuss that with your seniors 7. Enquire about the girl, her character and conduct, etc. Her Deeni inclination is of utmost importance
8. Also enquire about the family. The temperament and nature of the family (parents in particular) plays a crucial role in one’s marriage life
9. Once you are satisfied and do not have any reservations, then the seniors of the family should identify an appropriate person to send a proposal
10. If you have reservations, then make Istikhaara and follow the rules of Istikhaara
11. Once the proposal is sent, turn your gaze on Allah and make du’aa that Allah must grant an outcome which is best for your acceptance or refusal
12. Whatever is the response, be happy and content with that
13. Do not propose for a girl who is inclined towards another proposal
14. If you receive a positive response, try to perform the Nikah as soon as possible and with the least amount of expenses incurred
15. Lead your marriage life according to the Sunnah
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
