Dua for Love in Islam: 3 Authentic Quranic Dua

Introduction:

dua for love One of the outstanding emotions that Allah has embedded into the hearts of His creatures is love. Millions of people, no matter how rich or poor, young or old, wish to be loved and to have people to share their lives with. This is an aspiration of the heart as well as a blessing, which brings the soul peace. However, there is a lot of misunderstanding between temporary attraction and real love in the minds of people.

Romanticization in the Western world in the present era happens at the expense of Islamic values about love. Social media, movies, and music represent love as something immediate and terrestrial. In Islam, love is spiritual and pure and has a religious origin. True love is mercy, compassion, and obeying Allah.

Most people seek loopholes when they are faced with problems in their relationships, such as using amulets, charms, or even black magic. They are banned in the Islamic faith and are only harmful. The real way out is in dua (supplication), as it is directly able to connect the heart of a believer with Allah, the Turner of Hearts.

This book unravels the real duas of love in the Qur’an and Sunnah, the meaning of these duas, and what one can do to reinforce halal love in marriage and in the family.

Love according to Islam.

Various kinds of love in Islam

Love of Allah (Hubbullah):

Love for Allah should be the source of the heart of a believer. This love answers the riddle to spiritual peace.

A verse in the Quran states, “Those who believe are more intense in their love of Allah.” And its truthfulness (guidance) is in al-Baqarah (2), verse 165. (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:165)
Love for the Prophet leaves an impression upon your heart; that is, تلت من قلبک العالم:

The faith is loving the Messenger’s factory.

Prophet males: not one of you will believe (really believe) till I am dearer to him than his father, his child, and all humankind. (Sahih Bukhari 15)

Affection among married couples (Mawaddah wa Rahmah):

This love is described in the Qur’an in the following words:

And of His signs is that He has created spouses between you out of yourselves, so that you may find tranquility in them, and He has placed between you affection and mercy.” (Surah Ar-Rum 30:21)

Allah-loving Love:

The Prophet ultimately stated that:

Allah loves him who loves him and hates him who hates him, and he who gives a gift to Allah and holds back a gift from Allah has perfected his religion. (Sunan Abu Dawud 4681)

Key Lesson:

Love in Islam is in no case selfish and lustful; it is beneficial and pure, and it has a connection to faith.

Quranic Dua of Love

A very potent Quran dua for love is

“Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a’yunin waj‘alna lil-muttaqina imama.” (Surah Al-Furqan 25:74)

Meaning:

O! Our Lord, grant us, of our wives and our children, the comfort of our eyes and make us the leaders of the righteous.”

Tafseer Explanation

In Arabic, “Quarata A8yun” translates to the meaning of comfort, peace, and eye-pleasing delight. It also conveys that nothing is happier than having one spouse and children appear in righteousness.

Researchers such as Ibn Kathir interpret this dua as a request of Allah to claim love that prompts obedience and religious faith rather than attraction to things of the world.

Practical Use

.
