Dua for Marriage – Seeking a Righteous Spouse & a Blessed Union
Marriage is a sacred bond and one of the most beloved acts in Islam. It’s a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ and a means of tranquility and love when approached with sincerity and prayer.
🌸 1. Dua for Righteous Spouse
A beautiful Dua from the Qur’an asking Allah for a spouse and children who will be a joy to the heart.
🔹 Arabic:
رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا
🔹 Transliteration:
Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a‘yunin waj‘alna lil-muttaqina imama.

When choosing a spouse or considering marriage, the Prophet ﷺ taught us to pray Salat al-Istikharah and make this supplication:
🔹 Arabic (short version from Hadith):
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ، وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ...
🔹 Transliteration (start only):
