Why Make Dua for Marriage?
Marriage in Islam is more than just a relationship. It’s a path to worship, a source of peace, and a protection from haram. Allah describes marriage in the Qur’an as a sign of His mercy:

(Qur’an 30:21)
So when you make dua for marriage, you are not just asking for a spouse. You are asking for:

Dua for Finding a Righteous Spouse
One of the most famous duas for marriage comes from the story of Prophet Musa (Moses) عليه السلام. After he helped two women with their animals, he turned to Allah with a simple, humble dua:
رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ
“My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need.”
(Qur’an 28:24)
Shortly after this dua, Allah opened the door for Musa عليه السلام to get a job, a home, and even a wife.
You can read this dua daily, especially if you are searching for a spouse. Say it with a heart that truly feels: “Ya Allah, I need the good You have written for me.”
You can also make your own dua in simple words, for example:
“Ya Allah, grant me a righteous spouse who will be the coolness of my eyes and a means of coming closer to You. Make our marriage full of love, mercy, and barakah.”

A helpful dua you can recite is:
“Ya Allah, if this person is good for my deen, my dunya, and my akhirah, then make them my spouse and make our marriage easy and blessed. And if it is not good for me, then turn my heart away from it and give me someone better.”
This way, you are not just chasing your desire. You are asking for what is truly good, even if you don’t see it yet.

Istikhara: Asking Allah to Guide Your Marriage Decision
Before making any major decision about marriage, the Sunnah is to pray Salat al-Istikhara. This is a special prayer where you ask Allah to guide you to what is best.
You pray two raka’ahs (like a normal voluntary prayer) and then recite the dua of istikhara. If you don’t know it in Arabic, you can say the meaning in your own language after the prayer.
The essence of istikhara is:
Don’t wait for a dream or a “sign” only. Often, the answer to istikhara comes through how things unfold: are doors opening easily and in a halal way, or are they constantly blocked?

Dua for a Happy and Peaceful Marriage
If you are already married, dua is one of the best tools to protect and strengthen your relationship. Every marriage faces challenges. But with Allah’s help, struggles can become sources of growth instead of reasons to break apart.

“Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.”
(Qur’an 25:74)
Say it often for yourself, your spouse, and your future children.
You can also add:
“Ya Allah, place love, mercy, and understanding between us. Remove pride, anger, and shaytan from our home. Help us forgive each other and support each other in every good.”
