Introduction:
A beautiful dua for someone special (supplication) is a very close approach of the believer to Allah in Islam. It is a pious act that broke the beats of the hearts and cemented the relationships together and swept open the doors to the blessings of life of a person.
When you affectionately love someone, be he or she family, a friend, a spouse, or even an admirable person, you will honestly hope all the good things work out in his or her life.
Nevertheless, in Islam, prayers are used as a mode of expressing love and care in addition to words and behavior. Dua on behalf of the absent is a virtuous deed, and as the Prophet pointed out:
To pray on behalf of his brother makes such a prayer to be sure that it will be accepted. When he beseeches good to his brother, the angel specially assigned to him says, ‘Ameen! And for you the same.’”
(Sahih Muslim 2732)
This hadith teaches us that by saying dua for someone special, Allah equally rewards you—dua is thus a blessing, and it is beneficial to both those giving it and the one to whom they are making their dua.
This situation depends on how real the dua is, what the meaning of the dua is, and when it should be offered. This guide is going to focus on some real duas in the Quran and Sunnah to send blessings to a special someone.
Dua in the Islamic Religion?
Dua is not in fact a request but an acknowledgment of the power, mercy, and wisdom of Allah. Allah states:
And your Lord says, ‘Call upon Me; I will respond to you.’”
(Surah Ghafir 40:60)
When we pray to someone close:
- We call on the mercy of Allah on our life.
We enhance the brotherhood/sisterhood in Islam.
We earn spiritual benefits for ourselves.
It is the power of dua that can act on behalf of another.
Angels say “Ameen” on your behalf.
It makes the hard-hearted weak and takes away grudges.
It is a selfless sacrifice and unfiltered love.
An example would be you could be praying that a friend may pass exams, a spouse may be healthy, or parents live long and religiously.
The Quranic prayer requesting God to guide and bless someone.
When it is a person you consider special, then you do not provide them with anything material; the gift is direction and Allah’s blessings.
Hast thou not a father in heaven? -Fruit of them both, Husbands, wives, and children, Lord, out of our wives and children Give us some refreshment for our eyes, and make us a pattern for the righteous.
Interpretation: This dua is a prayer for having a kind, god-fearing family and also becoming the examples of righteous deeds.
Usage:
- Read it off to your husband, children, and even your future husband.
It may be created following or during salah and times of contemplation.
Advantage: This dua does not merely request pleasures of this world but also requests to achieve paradise in the afterlife.
Dua for Health and Protection of a Person?
Maintaining someone means that someone wishes to be sound and secure. Special dua is what Islam teaches to guard against harm and disease.
Prophetic Dua for Protection
Allahumma ‘afihim fi badanihim, wa sihhatihim, wa imanihim
O Allah! make them healthy in their bodies, sound in their religion and averse to every evil.
You can also recite:
Allahumma ashfihim shifā’an tāmmā
“O Allah, grant them complete healing.”
Hint: Say these over them, placing your hand on their head (if allowed, e.g., spouse or mahram), or recite them otherwise, in their absence, in your prayers.
Dua against Someone to Be Happy and Have Peace of Heart
Happiness does not mean to laugh only, but it means a peaceful, contented heart.
Quranic Dua from Surah Ash-Shu’ara (26:83)
Lord, thou hast given me permission; come and make me with the righteous.
Allahumma aj‘alhum sa‘ideen raazeen
“O Allah, make them happy and content.”
Supplication in Favor of Another, so that He May Succeed in This Life and the Hereafter
Success does not really concern wealth, but trust, good actions, and the satisfaction of Allah.
Surah Al-Baqarah – :2201 Quranic Dua
Lord, give us good in the world—and good in the world to come—and deliver us out of this quite desperate fire.
Dua on a Person in Need:
Life is not easy, and when that special person is in an unfortunate position, your dua may be his savior.
Dua of the Prophet Yunus (Surah Al-Anbiya 21:87)
Here are no idols where Thou art; high art Thou. Yes, I am one of the evildoers.”
Even though it is a personal repentance dua, scholars have stated that it can also be applied on behalf of others facing hardship since it is a dua of deliverance.
The sunnah of dua on behalf of the one whom you love
The Prophet ﷺ would also use special duas in regard to his loved ones.
Hadith: Allah’s Messenger (may the peace be upon him) said:
O Allah, grant him pardon, place him in rank with the guided, and make his heir in his family.
(Sahih Muslim)
It is possible to make this dua, stating the name of the person, to ask Allah to forgive him or her, bless him or her, and protect him or her.
Forgiveness of Someone
When your loved one is no more or you want his/her spiritual purity,
Quranic Dua from Surah Nuh (71:28)
It was, “Lord, have mercy on me and on my parents—whoever is in my house, a believer—and believing men and believing women.”
How to Make a Special Dua
- So that your duas are more effective:
Be sincere—talk heart to heart.
Use their name in dua. Personalizing dua brings dua into the heart.
Select blessed times—like sujood, before Fajr, on Fridays, and during rain.
Facing Qiblah—that is being low-key; that is being religious. - Invoke Allah by his beautiful names, such as Ar-Rahman (The Most Merciful) and Al-Hafeez (The Protector).
Mistakes We Have to Avoid in Dua
- Demanding something bad or unholy.
Having an impulse.
Lacking in faith in the wisdom of Allah.
Bear in mind: Allah answers every dua—sometimes straight away, sometimes later, and sometimes with something better.
Conclusion
The wisher usually makes a beautiful dua for someone special, the one he/she loves, and it is also an act of purity to love in Islam. It is free and pleasing to both sides and strengthens the bonds in this world and in the other world. You can refer to the Quran and Sunnah as a guide so that your duas are heartfelt as well as accepted by Allah .
When you pray to others, bear this in mind—the angels are praying also to you.
FAQs
Can a non-Muslim friend recite this dua?
Yes, you can make dua wishing that they get well, that they are guided and well, but not after death; rather, do not talk about forgiveness of a non-believer.
Is dua in Arabic or my language encouraged more?
Both prove to be true. Arabic accurately reflects the text of the Quran and Sunnah, but the dua in your own language would enable you to express yourself better personally.
