โœฆ

O Allah, I ask You to protect my spouse from all evil and danger, and to suffice him (or her) from the mischief of the envious and the treacherous. Inspire him (or her) with truthfulness and loyalty, and place love and mercy between us. Bless us in our deeds and our children, and turn away from us all that angers You.

Allahumma inni as'aluka an tahfadha zawji (or zawjati) min kulli su'in wa khatarin, wa an takfiyahu (or takfiyaha) sharra ahlil-hasadi wal-ghadri, wa an tulhimahu (or tulhimaha) as-sidqa wal-wafa'a, wa an taj'ala baynana mawaddatan wa rahmah, wa an tubarika lana fi a'malina wa awladina, wa an tasrifa 'anna kulla ma yughdhik.

When to Read

This dua can be recited at any time, especially during the quiet hours of the night when supplication is particularly potent. It is also fitting to make this dua after prayers (Salat) or during moments of deep personal reflection, seeking Allah's continuous protection over your marital bond and your spouse's well-being.

How to Read

Recite with sincerity and conviction, focusing on the meaning of the words. Raise your hands in supplication as the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ taught us. You can place your hand on your spouse's shoulder or chest while making this dua if they are present and it feels appropriate, or make it privately. Ensure you are in a state of purity (Wudu) if possible.

Virtues & Benefits

This comprehensive dua seeks Allah's protection for your spouse from a wide array of potential harms โ€“ general evil, specific dangers, and the insidious plots of the envious and deceitful. It simultaneously asks for positive qualities like truthfulness and loyalty to be instilled in your spouse, fostering a strong foundation for the marriage. By asking for love and mercy between you, and blessings in your family and endeavors, you are essentially asking Allah to safeguard your union and its fruits. The final part, seeking protection from all that angers Allah, is a broad plea for guidance and righteous living for both of you, which indirectly protects the marriage.
