But concerning thy marriage with the maid-servant
of God, ........, do not be in a hurry. Deliberation
and patience are necessary until her mother giveth her
consent and thy father and mother also acquiesce. This
is the divine commandment! Take thou hold of it
with a true firmness. Verily this is better for thee under
all circumstances! Verily thy Lord is gracious to His
servants and He facilitates ere long every straight
cause. But thou must submit to and rely upon God
under all conditions and He will bestow upon thee that
which is conducive to thy well-being. Verily He is
merciful and compassionate! For how many an affair
was involved in difficulty and then was straightened,
and how many a problem was solved by the permission
of God.

Be thou not grieved, neither be thou sad. Finish
thy studies in sciences and then turn thy face unto
God, asking from Him help and protection under all
conditions.
