All my life, I pray for someone like you

[NinaGucci]

is it true that in Islam, we can pray (women and men) to meet that someone special. i mean, during the prayer, we are facing god, it s a moment of pure respect, and someone would be shy or embarrassed to pray god to make him/her meet someone who he/she would truly love and someone who truly deserves him/her.
also, is it our destiny to go through failed relationships sometimes, is it our destiny to meet people who dont deserve us. sometimes we think that we only get what we deserve, what if we are good muslims, why do we end up with really horrible people sometimes and we end getting depressed and lose trust in ourselves/others.
is god trying to test our emotions here, or is he strengthening them? are there any verses in the coran which talk about such situations? are there any prayers, Du3a, we can say to ask god he only keeps us for the good muslims, and to ask for relief from any heartbreak pain.

As far as the dua's and verses go I will post some shortly for you.

We are given many tests from Allah(swt) which sometimes we pass and sometimes we fail and most of the time we begin to fail but eventually pass. For example some people enter into relationshps or other kinds of addictions and they forget who they really are or ignore this fact because of the strong emotion they are feeling and they subsequently act in a way which is contrary to God's wishes.

What one has to remember is that life is not limited to individual experience but is a long line of experiences and many times our own personal salvation and test is found within our reaction to our pain and missfortunes. Life is long and Allah's Mercy is endless so what is important is to look forward and react to the future in such a way that allows the lessons of the past to be learnt and practiced.

As far as prayers go, the time in Salaat is a time of worship and a time for salvation, a time for you to pray to Allah(swt) for whatever you want and as one of the founding stones of Islam is the family unit there can be few greater things to ask for than a good husband and family, Insha-Allah.

As for destiny, its a very complicated subject in Islam and a subject of much division and contraversy however for thepurposes of what you said we can look at it in a simple way. Destiny is left up to us as individuals to build it and contribute towards it as this is the Mercy of Allah(swt). As Mohammad(saw) said we must tie our Camel and then pray to Allah(swt), meaning in this context that a person should take every precaution to improve themselves and those who are around them and look for the right kind of person with the right intentions and pray to Allah(swt) and the rest will be taken care for you.

In affect when Allah(swt) sees your sincerity and good intention He, as prescribed in the Qur'an, would move the entire universe, every tree, person, sea, star, heart, mind etc.. so that t falls in a position which would bring about the correct circumstances for you to meet the correct person.

We should remember what I said at the start that life is a long line of tests and experiences so when the right man is found it is up to the two of you to bring out the goodness in each other and work towards a good relationship thus allowing you both to feel the goodness that Allah(Swt) has made availlable to those who would reach out and take it.
