go any further...6months ago i met a guy from muslim matrimonail site, i realised he was the type of guy
i was after god fearing etc, everything went well. We
then decided we should leave the matters on our parents hand as they can sort
out the marriage..istakara

nasty to him when he didnt answer my call, now he doesnt want to go a head as he thinks am not the right girl

Answer:
Divorcee wants to get married
In the
name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness.
Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray,
none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no
person, no grave, no prophet, no imam,
no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Your Question: ...is that some
sort of test from Allah??
Allah says in the Holy Quran in Chapter 67
Surah Al Mulk verse 2: He
(Allah) created death and life that He may test you, to see which of you is the best in
deeds.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verses 155-157:
155 Be sure We shall test you with something of
fear, and hunger, some loss in goods, or lives, or the fruits (of your toil);
but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere.
156 Who say when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah we belong and
to Him is our return."
157 They are those on whom (descend) blessings
from Allah and Mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance.
Whatever
befalls a person in this short transitory life, whether it is success or a
setback, is nothing more than a test from the All Knowing, All Wise Lord!
If after
you have done the ‘istakhara’, and subsequently
situations and circumstances arose whereby the person has gone away from you
for any reason; then it probably means that your supplication of ‘istakhara’ has been accepted by the All Knowing, All Wise
Lord; and the boy might not be as good for your deen,
your life, and your hereafter as you might have imagined.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 216 (part): …..But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you,
and that ye love a thing which is bad for you.
But Allah Knoweth and ye know not.
Be
patient and constant in your supplications to the Merciful Lord, and implore
Him to give you what is best for your life in this world and your
Hereafter. Maybe He has in store for you
someone much better than what you want or what you have lost! Keep your faith in Him and in His Knowledge
and Power, for He Alone Knows what is best for His slaves.
Salman
reported that the Prophet (saws), said, "Your Lord, the Blessed and the
Exalted One, is Modest and Generous, and He loathes to turn away His servant
empty-handed when he raises his hands to Him in supplication."
Whatever
written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance,
and whatever of error is of me. Allah
Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
