So, your marriage isn’t exactly the dreamy Pinterest-worthy love story you envisioned. One minute, you’re planning cute matching outfits, and the next, you’re contemplating if throwing a slipper at him counts as haram. (It does, sis. Stay calm.)
But what if I told you there’s a divinely approved way to turn things around? Yep, it’s time to power up your marriage with duas, because let’s be real, arguing over who left the cap off the toothpaste isn’t working.
Here are 10 powerful duas to bring back that love, InshaAllah!
1. Dua for a Love That Lasts Beyond the Honeymoon Phase
Surah Al-Furqan (25:74): “Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.”
Translation? Ya Allah, make my husband less annoying and more of a blessing. This dua is perfect when you feel like your love is turning into a roommate situation.
2. Dua to End Petty Arguments (Because Silent Treatments Don’t Work)
Surah Al-Anfal (8:63): “And He has united their hearts. If you had spent all that is in the earth, you could not have united their hearts, but Allah united them…”
When your husband insists that chicken biryani doesn’t need potatoes (may Allah guide him ), recite this dua. Because only Allah can soften hearts, and clearly, his needs a little extra work.
3. Dua for When You Want to Strangle Him But Choose Sabr Instead
Surah Ta-Ha (20:25-28): “My Lord, expand for me my chest, and ease for me my task, and untie the knot from my tongue that they may understand my speech.”
Say this when you’re about to go full dramatic mode over something dumb (like leaving wet towels on the bed AGAIN). This dua helps you stay patient and communicate before you lose it.
4. Dua for When You Need Him to Listen Without Interrupting
Surah Ibrahim (14:40): “My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many] from my descendants. Our Lord, and accept my supplication.”
Basically, Ya Allah, grant me a husband who listens instead of thinking about football while I talk.
5. Dua to Make Him Say ‘Yes’ Without You Having to Ask Twice
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:286): “Our Lord, do not impose upon us a burden we cannot bear…”
Useful for big purchases, like convincing him that a cute new Islamic home decor set is a necessity and not just a random splurge. Speaking of which, if you’re looking for a beautiful Islamic calligraphy set, check out this stunning collection that’s totally husband-approved.
6. Dua to Keep Shaytan Out of Your Marriage (and Your DMs)
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “When one of you enters his house, let him say: ‘Bismillah’…it will prevent the devil from entering with him.” (Muslim 2018)
Sis, Shaytan loves breaking up couples. So, next time you step into your house, say Bismillah and watch your home become a no-drama zone.
7. Dua for a Husband Who Actually Helps With Chores
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) used to help with household work (Bukhari 676), so there’s no excuse for your husband to act like the couch is his permanent address.
Recite this dua when you need a little divine push for him to pick up a broom:
“Our Lord, grant us from Your mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance.” (Surah Kahf 18:10)
8. Dua for When You Need a Romantic Husband (Not Just a ‘Did You Cook?’ One)
Surah Al-Rum (30:21): “And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy…”
Keep reciting this, and InshaAllah, he’ll start sending ‘I love you’ texts instead of just ‘What’s for dinner?’
9. Dua to Make In-Laws More Like a Blessing Than a Test
Surah Al-Hashr (59:10): “Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith, and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed.”
Because sometimes, you need divine patience to deal with unsolicited advice from Aunties who think ‘just have a baby’ is the answer to everything.
10. Dua for a Marriage That Feels Like Jannah on Earth
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:201): “Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”
A marriage built on love, patience, and faith is truly a blessing. Keep this dua in your heart, and InshaAllah, you’ll have a marriage that flourishes in both worlds.
