God is not a matchmaker. Marriage is your own choice.
If every righteous man were guaranteed a righteous wife, there would be no concept of divorce in Islam. Why did Prophet Nuh have a disbelieving wife? Why did Prophet Lut have a disbelieving wife? Why was the righteous Asiya married to Pharaoh, a tyrant? Why was Prophet Isa raised to heaven at the age of 33 without ever having been married? Why did Prophet Ismail divorce his first wife? Why did Caliph Umar divorce three of his wives? The belief that righteous men are guaranteed righteous wives is a widespread misconception among some Muslims. Qur'an 24:26 is not primarily about marriage; it is about false allegations and slander.
"If God is everyone's matchmaker, then how do you explain this? The Qur'an permits up to four wives at a time, yet a former King of Saudi Arabia married around 30 women during his lifetime. Did God personally choose all 30 for him?"
Islam teaches us to marry the person of our choice, not to wait for a spouse chosen by God. Nikah is an act of worship and there is no compulsion in worship. You are free to marry or not to marry, but you are responsible for your choice and you will be accountable for it before God.
