Du’as for Marriage
For Muslims, marriage is a sacred act of worship, fulfilling half the deen for Muslim men and holding immense importance for Muslim women. As such, we can make specific du’as for marriage, whether to find righteous spouses or protect our marriages.
Al-Hakim narrated in Al-Mustadrak from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
Whomever Allah blesses with a righteous wife, He has helped him with half of his religion, so let him fear Allah with regard to the other half.
Hadith | Al-Mustadrak
