Salam - Need advice about marriage and my situation as a revert
Wa alaikum assalam wa rahmatullah I’m a revert living in Europe. I met a wonderful sister in person - subhanAllah, we clicked right away. We met twice and she suggested we get married on the second meeting so everything stays halal, because we both like each other a lot. Here’s the difficulty: we’re both in our early 20s and she’s finishing her degree soon. She expects I’m graduating this year too, but I didn’t tell her the full truth. After COVID I developed a chronic illness that cost me years of university, and I felt embarrassed, so I hid that. Now she wants me to come to her country (she’s in another EU country) to finalise things at the mosque, but I don’t see how I can promise the future she hopes for without a degree or steady plans. I’m heartbroken because I don’t feel able to provide what she deserves. Part of me thinks I should trust that Allah will provide (tawakkul) and go ahead, while another part is overwhelmed and stressed about the practical side. I don’t want to start married life with dishonesty or impossible expectations. What would you do in my place?
