Dua for Spouse
3 Blessings to Ask Allah For
Marriage in Islam is described as a source of tranquillity, love and mercy, and the believer turns to Allah to fill it with these gifts. The dua for spouse is a beautiful Quranic prayer asking Allah for a husband or wife and children who are the comfort of one’s eyes, and for the whole family to lead in righteousness. It is the supplication of the servants of the Most Merciful, captured in the closing verses of Surah Al-Furqan.
رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا
Rabbanā hab lanā min azwājinā wa dhurriyyātinā qurrata a‘yunin wa-j‘alnā lil-muttaqīna imāmā.
“Our Lord, grant us from our spouses and our offspring comfort to our eyes, and make us leaders for the righteous.”
This guide explains the dua for spouse, the meaning of asking for a family who are the comfort of the eyes, and three blessings to seek for a marriage, so that the believer builds a home filled with the love, mercy and faith that Allah places between spouses.
The Meaning of the Dua for Spouse
The dua for spouse is a verse from Surah Al-Furqan, the prayer of the servants of the Most Merciful, asking Allah for spouses and children who bring coolness and comfort to the eyes. To be the comfort of the eyes means to be a source of deep joy and peace, a spouse whose faith and companionship gladden the heart. The verse goes further, asking that the family be made leaders for the righteous, a household that guides others toward Allah by its example.
This single supplication captures the highest hopes for a marriage. It does not ask merely for a beautiful or wealthy spouse, but for one who brings the joy that only faith and righteousness can give. By making the dua for spouse, the believer asks Allah to fill the marriage with tranquillity and to make the home a beacon of guidance.
