Supplications for a Spouse

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

Do you know what dua’s, dhikrs, practices one should do if individuals are wanting to get married but having a very difficult time finding a partner?

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Walaikum assalam,

1. The best of duas are those that are heart-felt. Make dua from your heart, out of neediness and slavehood.

2. Some scholars have mentioned that it is good to make the Qur’anic du`a, “Rabbana aatina fi’d dunya hasana wa fi’l aakhirati hasana wa qina `adhab an-nar.” [O Lord! Grant us good in this life, and good in the next, and save us from the torment of the Fire] (Qur’an, 2: 200), intending a suitable and righteous spouse with “fi’d dunya hasana” (good in this life).

This is taken from one of the more specific explanations of this verse, as mentioned by major imams of tafsir such as Khazin, though the most general meanings of good are understood to be primarily meant. [see: Hashiyat al-Jamal `ala al-Jalalayn, 1.161]

And Allah knows best.

Wassalam,
Faraz Rabbani
