I want to marry this lady. Initially, she was interested, but after many problems, she gave up, saying she will marry me only if Allah wants it to happen. I want to make Dua to Allah for us, but am I setting myself up for disappointment?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

Yes, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. You cannot force yourself onto someone, especially if it seems they are not interested. Your dua to Allah ta'ala should be in asking Him to do what is best for you, and for you to evaluate the situation using reason and common sense. 

And Allah knows best

Is it permissible to make Dua against someone who mocked me publicly, seek protection from such individuals, and request Allah to handle the situation if it occurs again?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is permissible and even recommended to supplicate to Allah, The Glorious to protect us from evil people. Regarding making Du'a against others, it is better to pray for forgiveness for you and them and Allah's protection.

I am going through a lot of hardship and stress. I have school, so I struggle to find time to apply for jobs. Can I make Dua that the job that is written upon me or best for me should find me or l stumble up it?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

All of us need to seek from Allah, The Glorious to Grant us whatever He Know the best for us and never rely on our wishes and thinking and imaginations which are based on our limited knowledge, while Allah (SWT) Knows everything which is good for us. Relying on Allah's order is the best for us.

Wassalam.
