There isn't one specific dua solely for marrying someone you love, but rather a collection of prayers that focus on seeking Allah's guidance for marriage and asking for a spouse that brings goodness to your life. The focus should be on seeking a righteous partner, rather than fixating on one specific person. However, a dua that expresses your desire for good things, including a loving spouse, is the following:
Allahummajal li nasiban fi kulli shay'in 'ahbabtuh, wajaal fihil khayril katheer!
This translates to:
"Oh Allah, make me a share in everything I loved. And do a lot of good in it."
This dua, mentioned in the reference, expresses the desire to have what you love and asks Allah to put good into it. When applied to the context of marriage, it means asking Allah to grant you a spouse you love and for that union to be filled with goodness.
How to Approach Dua for Marriage
While the above dua is beneficial, here are some key aspects to consider when making dua for marriage:
- Ask for a righteous spouse: Don't only focus on feelings of love. Focus on asking Allah for a spouse who is righteous, kind, and a good Muslim.
- Seek Allah's guidance: Pray Istikhara (prayer for guidance) if you are considering marriage with a specific person. This seeks Allah’s guidance in the decision.
- Be sincere: The most important thing is to be sincere in your dua, believing that Allah has the best plan for you.
- Focus on overall goodness: Remember to ask for a marriage filled with peace, love, and blessings, rather than fixating on specific worldly desires.
- Be patient: Allah answers all dua in His own time, which might not always align with our expectations. Be patient and trust in His wisdom.
Examples of Duas
While there isn't one "official" dua for this purpose, here are a few other examples of general supplications you can make:
- "Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyatina qurrata a'yun waj'alna lil muttaqeena imama." (Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.) [Quran, 25:74]
- "Ya Hayyu ya Qayyum, bi rahmatika astagheeth, aslih li sha’ni kullahu, wa la takilni ila nafsi tarfata ‘ayn." (O Living, O Sustaining, in Your Mercy I seek relief, rectify for me all my affairs and do not leave me to myself for an instant.)
- Prayers for ease and blessings: Include general duas that ask for ease in all your affairs, seeking good in this life and the hereafter.
Key Takeaway
There is no single, specified dua to marry someone you love. Instead, utilize the general dua mentioned in the reference: “Allahummajal li nasiban fi kulli shay'in 'ahbabtuh, wajaal fihil khayril katheer!” alongside other prayers that seek a righteous spouse and Allah's guidance. Remember to focus on seeking a marriage that is blessed and pleasing to Allah.
