When to Read
Recite this dua regularly, especially during the times when supplication is readily answered, such as the last third of the night, between the Dhuhr and Asr prayers on a Friday, or after completing an obligatory prayer. Focus on it when your spouse is struggling, or during moments of deep personal reflection and concern for their well-being.
How to Read
Recite with sincerity and unwavering faith in Allah's mercy and power to change circumstances. Raise your hands in supplication as the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ taught us. Picture your spouse free from the addiction, turning back to Allah, and living a life of peace and righteousness. Combine this supplication with practical efforts, such as offering support, seeking professional help, and encouraging righteous companionship.
Virtues & Benefits
This powerful dua from Surah Al-Kahf is a comprehensive plea for divine mercy and guidance in all affairs. For a spouse struggling with addiction, it is a request for Allah to bestow His mercy upon them, softening their heart, removing the compulsion of the addiction, and guiding them towards a path of repentance and recovery. It acknowledges that true change and right guidance can only come from Allah, reinforcing our reliance on Him. The Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ said: 'Verily, Allah says: 'I am as My servant thinks I am, and I am with him when he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I remember him in Myself; and if he remembers Me in a gathering, I remember him in a gathering better than it; and if he draws near to Me by a hand span, I draw near to him by a cubit; and if he draws near to Me by a cubit, I draw near to him by an arm's length; and if he comes to Me walking, I come to him running.'' (Sahih al-Bukhari 7505). This hadith encourages us to believe the best of Allah and to turn to Him in all our needs.
