✨ Important Guidelines Before Starting Your Dua for Marriage with a Loved One
Before you begin reciting these powerful duas, it’s essential to approach them with the right mindset and preparation. Allah responds to those who turn to Him with sincerity and follow the proper etiquette of dua.
- Maintain Pure Intentions: Ensure your desire to marry this person is for halal reasons and with good intentions. Allah knows what’s in your heart.
- Perform Proper Wudu: Always be in a state of ritual purity when making these important duas.
- Choose Blessed Times: The best times for dua include the last third of the night, between adhan and iqamah, while fasting, and on Fridays.
- Give Charity: Offering sadaqah (charity) opens doors for your duas to be accepted more readily.
- Maintain Unwavering Faith: Trust completely in Allah’s wisdom and timing, even if results aren’t immediate.
Remember: These duas are meant to be used within the boundaries of Islamic teachings. They are not meant for haram relationships or to manipulate someone’s free will, but rather to seek Allah’s blessing for a halal union.
📖 Dua #1: The Prayer from Surah Al-Furqan
Arabic Text:
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.”
Translation:
“Our Lord, grant us from among our spouses and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.”
This beautiful dua from Surah Al-Furqan (25:74) is particularly powerful for those seeking a blessed marriage. It not only asks for a spouse who will be a comfort to your eyes but also for a relationship that exemplifies righteousness.
Best Time to Recite:
Recite this dua 134 times daily after each of the five daily prayers for 13 consecutive days. The consistency and devotion in your practice demonstrate your sincerity to Allah.

📖 Dua #2: The Powerful “Al-Mubdi” Dua
Arabic Text:
يَا مُبْدِئُ
Transliteration:
“Ya Mubdi”
Translation:
“O Originator (The One who creates from nothing)”
This powerful name of Allah refers to His ability to create something from nothing. By invoking this name, you’re asking Allah to create a path toward marriage where there might seem to be no way forward.
Method of Recitation:
- Begin by reciting Durood Sharif 11 times
- Recite Surah Al-Baqarah twice (or if time is limited, recite Surah Al-Fatiha)
- Recite “AL-MUBDI” 435 times
- Conclude with Durood Sharif again
- Make your specific dua to Allah about marrying your loved one
Follow this practice daily for 16 days, preferably after Fajr prayer. Many have witnessed remarkable changes in their circumstances after completing this dua with sincerity and faith.
📖 Dua #3: Surah Yasin Method for Marriage
Method of Recitation:
- Perform proper wudu before beginning
- Recite Surah Yasin twice with complete focus and understanding
- After completion, recite “AL-HAMEED” (The Praiseworthy) 786 times
- Make your specific dua to Allah about marrying your loved one
This method should be followed three times daily after three different salah prayers for 17 consecutive days. Surah Yasin is known as the “Heart of the Quran” and has special spiritual power to overcome obstacles.
Why Surah Yasin? The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Everything has a heart, and the heart of the Quran is Yasin. Whoever recites Yasin, Allah will record for them a reward as if they recited the entire Quran ten times.” (Tirmidhi)
Having Difficulty With Consistent Practice?
Many people have found success by performing these duas under the guidance of a knowledgeable scholar who can provide support and accountability.
📖 Dua #4: Surah Al-Kahf Verse for Removing Obstacles
Arabic Text:
وَقُلِ الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ فَمَن شَاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِن وَمَن شَاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ
Transliteration:
“Wa qulil haqqu mir rabbikum faman shaaa’a falyu’minw wa man shaaa’a falyakfur.”
Translation:
“And say, ‘The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills – let him believe; and whoever wills – let him disbelieve.'”
This powerful verse from Surah Al-Kahf is particularly effective for removing obstacles that stand between you and marriage to your loved one. It works especially well when family opposition or other external factors are creating barriers.
Method of Recitation:
- Begin with Salawat (sending blessings upon the Prophet)
- Recite Surah Al-Fatiha twice
- Recite this verse from Surah Al-Kahf 565 times
- Make your specific dua about marrying the person you love
Follow this practice daily for 18 days. Many have reported that even seemingly impossible situations began to resolve after completing this dua with sincerity.
📖 Dua #5: The After-Tahajjud Special Prayer
Method:
- Wake up for Tahajjud prayer (the night prayer before Fajr)
- After completing Tahajjud, sit on your prayer mat
- Recite “Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim” 11 times
- Make your specific dua with this phrase: “O Allah, I desire to marry [name of the person you love], so make this marriage easy for me and bless it with goodness.”
- Repeat this dua 1000 times (you can divide this over multiple nights if needed)
The time after Tahajjud prayer is one of the most blessed times for dua acceptance. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “In the last third of every night, our Lord descends to the lowest heaven and says: ‘Who is calling upon Me so that I may answer him? Who is asking from Me so that I may give to him? Who is seeking My forgiveness so that I may forgive him?'” (Bukhari and Muslim)
Follow this practice consistently for 18 days. The combination of the blessed time and your sincere devotion makes this one of the most powerful duas for marriage.
🌟 Practical Tips to Enhance Your Dua for Marriage
Combine Dua with Action
- Improve yourself: Work on becoming the best version of yourself spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
- Seek halal means: If possible, have family members speak to the person’s family about marriage.
- Increase good deeds: Allah’s help often comes to those who are helping others.
Maintain Sincerity (Ikhlas)
- Pure intentions: Make sure your desire for marriage is for the right reasons.
- Avoid showing off: Keep your spiritual practices private between you and Allah.
- Accept Allah’s decree: Be prepared to accept Allah’s decision, whatever it may be.
Important: Avoid any practices that involve shirk (associating partners with Allah) or black magic. These are strictly forbidden in Islam and will bring harm rather than benefit. Stick to authentic duas from the Quran and Sunnah.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Dua for Marriage
Is it permissible to make dua to marry a specific person?
Yes, it is completely permissible in Islam to make dua to marry a specific person, as long as your intentions are pure and the relationship would be halal. Allah knows what is in your heart, and He is the Turner of hearts.
How long should I continue making these duas?
Each dua has its recommended duration (ranging from 13-18 days). However, even after completing these specific periods, you can continue making general duas for a blessed marriage. Remember that Allah answers in His perfect timing, which may not always align with our desired timeline.
What if my parents are against this marriage?
While making dua, also work on respectfully discussing your desires with your parents. Make dua for their hearts to soften as well. In Islam, parental blessing is important, especially for women. The duas mentioned can help change hearts and circumstances, but always approach the situation with respect and patience.
Can these duas work if the other person is already engaged or married?
If someone is already married, it is not appropriate to make dua to marry them as this would involve breaking an existing marriage, which is not permissible in Islam. If they are engaged but not yet married, you can make dua, but always with the intention that you only want what Allah knows is best for everyone involved.
🤲 Final Thoughts on Dua for Marriage with a Loved One
Remember that while these duas are powerful tools for seeking Allah’s help in marriage matters, the ultimate decision rests with Allah, who knows what is best for us. Sometimes what we want isn’t what we need, and Allah in His infinite wisdom may have better plans for us.
Approach these prayers with sincerity, patience, and complete trust in Allah’s perfect timing. Continue to improve yourself spiritually and practically while making dua. The combination of sincere prayer and positive action creates the most fertile ground for Allah’s blessings.
“Perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not.” (Quran 2:216)
