CHOOSING a wife

Few months ago

I was in my study. No new materials to be read. Wondering what to do I lie down. All of the sudden I feel so lonely. I said to myself it must be nice to have a women beside me. I tried the internet. Boring. So I switched off the lights and then suddenly I decided to pray the Hajat Sunat prayer. Sunat prayers are not obligatory but can be done for spiritual reasons.
In that sunat hajat prayer I prayed that God would give me a good wife. I do not care what creed, religion etc. If she is a non muslim then I will convert her to Islam. Islamic teachings said choosing  a wife is not  choosing the women from her family background or beauty but her knowledge and religion.I said I want a western blond wife or anyone who is western educated.
God answered my prayers. HE gave me a name, someone whom I knew in 1991 who is now  a widow with 2 kids. She is an engineer from a British university. Remember my auntie who died suddenly in Sept 1998. This lady is her room mate when they studied in London.
Later I prayed the sunat istikharah prayer. I asked God if she is the right one for me. I was not convinced since she is a few years older than me. But I remembered that Prophet Muhammad married Siti Khadijah who is 15 years older than the prophet. And not many Malaysians knew that PM Najib's wife is also a few years older than PM Najib.

NOW
To all readers who believe in God please pray with me so that she would consider marrying me. To my readers who are not god followers please help me morally so that when I asked her that big question she will say yes. And I will certainly be a very happy man.
