Powerful Duas for Love of Allah The following are a few powerful and famous duas taken out of the Quran and Hadith that are particularly significant to a person aiming to win the love of Allah. 1. Dua of the Prophet due to the Love of Allah. This beautiful dua was made by the Messenger of Allah: “Allahumma inni as’aluka hubbaka, wa hubba man yuhibbuka, wal-‘amala alladhi yuballighuni hubbaka. Allahumma-j‘al hubbaka ahabba ilayya min nafsi, wa ahli, wa minal ma’il-bārid.” Translation: O Allah, I beseech You with Your love and the love of those who love You and the love of the actions which will bring me nearer to Your love. O Allah, love me, more beloved than myself and my family, and cold water. This dua is so all-embracive- it not only demands the love of Allah but also the love of those that Allah loves, and this establishes a community of faith and devotion. 2. Dua for Steadfast Heart The Prophet often recited: “Ya muqallibal-qulubi thabbit qalbi ‘ala deenik.” Translation: O Turn of hearts, solidify my heart on Thy religion. A firm heart is attached to Allah in terms of love, faith, and obedience. 3. Dua for Forgiveness and Love of Allah The door to mercy and love of Allah lies through forgiveness. One day, Aisha (RA) questioned the Prophet Mohhamad what she was to say in case she discovered the Night of Qadr. He taught her this dua: Allahumma inika afuwwun tuhibbul-afwa faatu fi. Translation: O Allah, You are Forgiving, and there is no one whom You love to forgive, forgive me. (Tirmidhi) Pardon leads to cleansing of the heart, and it is prepared to obtain the sweetness of the love of Allah. 4. Quranic Dua for Righteousness Based on the Quran, faithfuls are trained to cry: Rabbana lana min azwajina wa dhurriyatina qurrata a a yunin waaj al-Muttaqeena imama. (Quran 25:74) Translation: Lord, our Lord, take away from our spouses and children comfort to our eyes and make us chiefs of righteous people. This dua creates love within families; however, most importantly, it unites the hearts toward the love of Allah together. Practical Steps to Strengthen Love for Allah A believer must also make actionable steps to develop the love of Allah in addition to reciting powerful duas: Adhere to the Sunnah –Loving Allah is directly related to following the Prophet, because Allah says: Say, [O Muhammad], if ye love Allah, then obey me; Allah will love you and forgive thee thy sins. Growth of Voluntary Worship-More than the required prayers, fasting, charity, and tahajjud (night prayer) make a believer get closer to Allah. Gratitude and Patience – The ability to thank Allah when things are going well and patience when they are going through helps win His intimacy. Summing Up!
