Why Make Dua for a Righteous Spouse?

Before we go into the duas, let’s pause for a moment.

Have you ever thought about why Islam encourages us to ask Allah for everything, including a life partner?

A spouse can be:

– A source of peace in your life
– A partner in worship, helping you get closer to Jannah
– A friend and support in times of hardship

This is why making dua for marriage is not just about finding “someone.” It’s about asking Allah for the right person—someone who is good for your faith, heart, and future.

1. Dua for a Spouse Who Brings Peace – Surah Ar-Rum (30:21)

One of the most beautiful verses about marriage in the Quran is from Surah Ar-Rum:

“And among His signs is that He created for you from yourselves spouses that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed, in that are signs for a people who give thought.”
(Quran 30:21)

You can turn this verse into a heartfelt dua, such as:

“O Allah, grant me a spouse from among Your creation who will be a source of tranquility, love, and mercy for me, and make me the same for them.”

This dua is a reminder that real love isn’t just about feelings. It’s about sakinah (peace), mawaddah (love), and rahmah (mercy).

If you’re looking for a life partner, ask Allah to give you someone whose presence calms your heart, not someone who constantly disturbs your peace.

2. Dua from Surah Al-Furqan – For Righteous Spouse and Children (25:74)

This is one of the most famous duas for marriage in the Quran. It’s powerful because it doesn’t just ask for a spouse, but also for a blessed family.

Arabic:
رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

Transliteration:
Rabbana hab lana min azwājina wa dhurriyyātinā qurrata a’yun(in) waj‘alna lil-muttaqīna imāmā.

Meaning:
“Our Lord, grant us from among our spouses and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.”
(Quran 25:74)

This dua is ideal if you are:

Single and looking for a good husband or wife

Already married and asking Allah to improve your marriage

Praying for a blessed future family

Notice how the dua asks for a spouse who becomes a “coolness of the eyes”—someone who brings joy, comfort, and pride, especially in matters of faith.

You can recite this dua after every salah, during tahajjud, or whenever your heart feels lonely or anxious about marriage.

3. Dua of Prophet Zakariya – For Righteous Offspring and a Good Future (Surah Al-Imran 3:38)

Sometimes, dua for a righteous spouse is also linked to dua for a righteous future. Prophet Zakariya (AS) made a beautiful dua when he wanted a pious child:

Arabic:
رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ

Transliteration:
Rabbi hab lī mil-ladunka dhurriyyatan ṭayyibah innaka samī‘ud-du‘ā’.

Meaning:
“My Lord, grant me from Yourself good offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication.”
(Quran 3:38)

You might wonder, “What does this have to do with finding a spouse?”

To have righteous children, you need a righteous spouse. So when you recite this dua, you are indirectly asking Allah for:

A pious husband or wife

A peaceful home

A future filled with faith and goodness

You can also personalize it:

“O Allah, grant me from Yourself a righteous spouse and future offspring who are pleasing to You.”

4. Dua for Good in This Life and the Next – Surah Al-Baqarah (2:201)

Sometimes, you may not know exactly what to ask for. Your heart wants a spouse, but you’re unsure about the details. In such times, this general but powerful dua is very helpful:

Arabic:
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ

Transliteration:
Rabbana ātinā fid-dunyā ḥasanah wa fil-ākhirati ḥasanah wa qinā ‘adhāban-nār.

Meaning:
“Our Lord, give us in this world good and in the Hereafter good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.”
(Quran 2:201)

You can intend that part of the “good in this world” is:

A righteous spouse

A happy marriage

A home filled with barakah

This dua is short, easy to memorize, and can be made anywhere—on the bus, before sleeping, while walking, and especially after prayers.

5. Dua for Ease and Good Decree – Trusting Allah’s Plan

Along with asking for a good spouse, it’s important to ask Allah for ease and a good decision (qadr).

You might meet someone you like, but things feel difficult. Or maybe proposals come and go, and nothing works out. In these moments, remember that Allah’s timing is always perfect.

You can make a dua like:

“O Allah, if marriage to this person is good for my deen, my life, and my Hereafter, then make it easy for me and bless it for me. And if it is not good for me, then turn it away from me and grant me something better.”

Also, don’t forget this short, powerful Quranic dua from Surah Ash-Sharh (94:5–6) as a reminder more than a request:

“Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.”

This reminds you that delays in marriage are not punishments. Sometimes, Allah is protecting you from the wrong person and preparing you for someone better.

Tips for Making Dua for a Good Spouse

Dua is not just about words; it’s about the heart behind those words. Here are some simple tips to make your duas more meaningful:

Be sincere: Talk to Allah the way you would talk to someone who truly listens and cares.

Make dua regularly: Not just once. Repeat your duas daily, with patience.

Use times of acceptance: After salah, during sujood, in the last third of the night, on Fridays.

Work on yourself: Be the kind of spouse you are asking for. If you want someone pious, kind, and patient, try to develop those qualities in yourself too.

Have good expectations: Trust that Allah will give you what is best, even if it comes later than you hoped.

Balancing Dua and Action

Making dua for a righteous spouse is essential—but so is taking practical steps.

For example:

Let trusted family and friends know you are looking to get married.

Use halal means to meet potential spouses.

Seek advice from wise, religious people.

Continue learning about Islamic marriage rights and responsibilities.

Think of it like planting a seed. Your dua is the water, but your effort is the sunlight. You need both for the plant to grow.
