Specific Dua for Future Husband

Here are some specific duas from Islamic tradition that you can incorporate into your prayers:

1. General Supplication for a Righteous Spouse:
   • “رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ” (Rabbi hab lii minas saaliheen) – “My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous.” (Quran 37:100). Prophet Ibrahim’s prayer for a righteous child can also be used for a righteous partner.
2. From the Sunnah:
   • The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised making dua for all needs. No specific dua for a spouse in Sunnah, ask Allah for righteous partner.
3. Dua for Ease and Guidance:
   • “اللَّهُمَّ أَسْأَلُكَ الهُدَى وَالتُّقَى وَالعَفَافَ وَالغِنَى” .(Allahumma inni as’aluka al-huda wa at-tuqa wa al-‘afafa wa al-ghina). – “O Allah, I ask You for guidance, piety, chastity, and self-sufficiency.” This dua, while general, can be adapted to include a request for a righteous husband.
4. Dua for Contentment and Goodness:
   • “اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِهَا وَخَيْرِ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ”. (Allahumma inni as’aluka min khayriha wa khayri ma jabaltaha ‘alayh, wa a’udhu bika min sharriha wa sharri ma jabaltaha ‘alayh). – “O Allah, I ask You for the good within her and the good that You have placed in her disposition, and I seek refuge in You from the evil within her and the evil that You have placed in her disposition.” This can be adapted to ask for the good qualities in a future spouse.
