Dua for Friends: Islamic Supplication for Good Friends & Companionship

Righteous friendship is a great blessing in Islam. While this Quranic verse specifically mentions spouses and offspring, scholars explain that it encompasses one's closest circle, asking Allah to make our relationships a source of joy and to make us leaders among the righteous.

رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

Transliteration

Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata 'ayunin waj'alna lil-muttaqina imama.

Our Lord, grant us from our spouses and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.
