Powerful Dua to Stop a Cheating Husband
Here is a simple, powerful way to make dua for your husband to stop cheating and return to you with love and sincerity.
Step-by-Step Method
1. Perform Wudu (ablution)
Stay in a state of purity. Sit in a calm and quiet place where you won’t be disturbed.
2. Pray Two Rakat Nafl Salah
Offer two units (rakat) of voluntary prayer with the intention of seeking help from Allah to save your marriage.
3. Praise Allah and Send Salawat
After salah, raise your hands and say:
“Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘Alameen” (All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds)
Then send blessings on the Prophet (ﷺ), for example:
“Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa ‘ala aali Muhammadin kama sallayta ‘ala Ibraheema wa ‘ala aali Ibraheema innaka Hameedum Majeed.”
4. Recite This Dua Sincerely
You may say in your own words, from your heart, such as:
“Ya Allah, You are the Turner of hearts. Turn my husband’s heart away from all haram and towards me and our marriage. Put love, loyalty, and taqwa in his heart. Protect him from temptation and bad company. Save my home from destruction and fill it with Your mercy. Ameen.”
If you prefer, you can also recite:
“Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyatina qurrata a’yun waj’alna lil-muttaqeena imama.”
(Our Lord, grant us from among our spouses and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.)
5. End With Salawat Again
Finish by again sending blessings on the Prophet (ﷺ). This is a beautiful etiquette of dua.
Try to repeat this daily, especially:

Dua for Your Husband’s Faith and Protection From Sin
Sometimes the real issue is not just cheating, but weak faith. If your husband’s Iman increases, he will fear Allah and stay away from adultery.
You can make this dua:
“Ya Muqallibal quloob, thabbit qalba zawji ‘ala deenik, wa ba’id baynahu wa bayna az-zina kama ba’idta bayna al-mashriqi wal-maghrib.”
(O Turner of the hearts, keep my husband’s heart firm on Your religion, and distance him from zina (adultery) as You have distanced the East from the West.)
Say this often, even while doing housework, cooking, or walking. Keep your tongue moist with dua.

Practical Steps Alongside Dua
While dua is powerful, Islam also teaches us to take practical steps. Think of it like this: dua is the seed, but your actions are the water and sunlight.
Here are some gentle, helpful actions to take:
1. Improve Communication
Sometimes men become more distant when conversations turn into fights. Try to stay controlled but honest.
2. Strengthen Your Own Relationship With Allah
When you get closer to Allah, He sends peace into your heart and home.
3. Seek Wise Help
If the situation is serious, don’t suffer in silence. Seek help:
Islam does not tell you to tolerate endless abuse or constant betrayal. You have rights too.

When You Feel Like Giving Up
Perhaps you’ve cried at night, wondering, “Why is this happening to me? Did I deserve this?”
Remember:
If, after trying everything — dua, effort, patience, communication — your husband still continues his sin and abuse, then know that Islam gives you the right to step back and protect your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Divorce is not the first choice, but it is allowed when the marriage becomes harmful.

Final Thoughts: Trust Allah With Your Heart
Stopping a cheating husband and saving a marriage is not easy. It requires:
Keep reminding yourself:
“Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa Huwa.”
(Allah is sufficient for me, there is no deity except Him.)
Whether Allah softens your husband’s heart and brings him back to you, or opens another door you never imagined, His plan is always better than ours.
Turn to Him, talk to Him like a close Friend, and pour your heart out. Your journey may be painful, but you are never walking it alone.
