a very endearing, complete dua

صَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمَ


وَ نَعَوْذُ بِكَ
مِنْ شَرِّ مَا اَسْتَعَاذَ مِنْهُ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٌ


صَلَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمَ


وَ اَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعانُ

وَ عَلَيْكَ الْبَلاغُ

وَ لا حَوْلَ وَ لا قُوَّةَ اِلا بِااللَّٰهِ

and You are the (only) Helper
and for us is only to give voice
and nothing gets done done except with Your Help

Here is another short dua against all sort of excesses:

اَللَّهُمَّ اِنِّىْ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْفَقْر

وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ اَلْقِلَّةِ

وَ الذِّلَّةِ

اَوْ اُظْلَمَ

O Allah! I ask your protection from
poverty/need/wants, and I ask your protection from
shortages, and
humiliation, and
that I should oppress or tyrannize someone or
that someone should oppress or tyrannize me.

(Nisai, Abu Dawood)

for mutual love

A common complain these days is that spouses (more so the husbands) start misbehaving, and even hitting out. Here is a dua for mutual love:

أَللّٰهُمَّ اَلِّفْ بَيْنَ قُلُوْبِنَا



وَ اَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَيِْنِنَا


وَ اَهْدِنَا سُبُلَ السَلامِ


وَ نَجِّنَا مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ اِلَى النُّوْر



وَ جَنِّبْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ

مَا ظَهَرَ مِِنْهَا وَ مَا بَطَنَ



وَ بَارِكْ لَنَا

فِىْ اَسْمَاعِنَا وَ اَبْصَارِنَا وَ قُلُوْبِنَا

وَ اَزْوَاجِنَا وَ ذُرِّيَّاتِنَا



وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَآ

اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ التََّّوَّابُ الرَّحِيْمُ .





Allahumma allif baena quloobena
wa asleh dhata baenena
wa ahdena subulassalaame
wa najjena minaz zulumaate elanNoor

O Allah! create mutual love in our hearts
and make peace between us (or set us straight)
and guide us along the path of peace, safety and harmony
and bring us from darkness to light

at least 3 times after every fard prayer, and when going to bed.
