Ladies, let’s be real. Love in this dunya is complicated. One minute, you’re making dua for your crush to notice your new abaya, and the next, you’re spiraling into a halal-or-haram existential crisis. But what if I told you there’s a way to keep your love pure, drama-free, and 100% pleasing to Allah?
Because honestly, if your love isn’t bringing you closer to Jannah, is it even worth it?
Let’s dive into 7 powerful duas to make sure your love life stays blessed, not stressed.
1. Dua for Finding the Right One (Because Red Flags Are Real)
Before catching feelings, catch a dua. Ask Allah to send you someone who will make you better, not just butterflies.
Dua:
“Rabbana hablana min azwajina wa dhurriyatina qurrata a’yunin waj’alna lil-muttaqina imama.”
(Quran 25:74)
Translation: “Our Lord, grant us from our spouses and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.”
Pro tip: If he doesn’t remind you of Allah, sis, he’s not the one.
2. Dua for Halal Love (Because We Ain’t Here for Situationships)
The heart wants what it wants, but let’s make sure it’s halal. Love should bring you closer to Allah, not to secret late-night convos and “we’re just talking” labels.
Dua:
“Allahumma inni as’aluka hubbaka wa hubba man yuhibbuka wal-‘amalalladhi yuballighuni hubbak.”
Translation: “O Allah, I ask You for Your love, the love of those who love You, and the love of deeds that will bring me closer to Your love.” (Tirmidhi 3490)
Reality check: If he’s DM’ing you at Fajr but not praying Fajr, he’s gotta go.
3. Dua for Strength to Walk Away from Haram Love (It Hurts, But You’ll Heal)
We all know the struggle is real when feelings are involved. But sis, nothing haram is worth your akhirah.
Dua:
“Allahumma akhrij hubbahu min qalbi.”
Translation: “O Allah, remove their love from my heart.”
Say this on repeat until your heart detoxes like a deep skincare cleanse.
4. Dua for Barakah in Marriage (Because Love Ain’t Just Roses & Instagram Pics)
If you’re already married (or manifesting that halal nikah glow-up), make sure you keep the barakah flowing.
Dua:
“Barakallahu laka wa baraka alayka wa jama’a baynakuma fi khayr.”
Translation: “May Allah bless you, shower His blessings upon you, and unite you both in goodness.” (Abu Dawood 2130)
Marriage is beautiful, but so is patience. If bae’s annoying, just make dua before reacting.
5. Dua to Protect Your Love from Shaytan (Because He Stays Meddling)
Shaytan’s favorite hobby? Messing with happy couples. Whether it’s unnecessary fights or random doubts, he stays lurking.
Dua:
“Rabbi a’udhu bika min hamazat-ish-shayateen wa a’udhu bika rabbi an yahdurun.”
Translation: “My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the whisperings of the devils, and I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they be present with me.” (Quran 23:97-98)
Because sometimes, that argument about who left the dishes in the sink is deeper than it seems.
6. Dua for Patience in Love (Because Not Every Day is a Romantic Movie)
Love isn’t all aesthetic couples’ goals and matching prayer mats. Sometimes, it’s just holding your tongue when you want to pop off.
Dua:
“Rabbi ishrah li sadri wa yassir li amri.”
Translation: “My Lord, expand for me my chest [with assurance] and ease for me my task.” (Quran 20:25-26)
Patience is sunnah. So is choosing your battles.
7. Dua for Everlasting Love (Because Jannah is the Real Goal)
What’s the point of love if it doesn’t last beyond this world? Ask Allah to reunite you with your spouse in Jannah, where no one leaves dishes in the sink.
Dua:
“Rabbana atmim lana nurana waghfir lana innaka ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer.”
Translation: “Our Lord, perfect for us our light and forgive us. Indeed, You are over all things competent.” (Quran 66:8)
Because forever means Jannah, not just cute date nights.
