The Importance and Virtue of Supplication for Married Couples

Supplication is considered one of the most noble acts of worship that connect a servant to his Creator, and in the context of the marital relationship—which Allah, the Exalted, has described as a solemn covenant—the importance of supplication stands out as a fundamental pillar for the sustainability of families. Turning to Allah in supplication for the couple instills an unparalleled sense of tranquility in the heart, as both partners are certain that the harmony of their hearts and the well-being of their affairs lie solely in Allah’s hands. Among the virtues of this supplication is that it brings blessings in sustenance and offspring, and protects the home from conflicts and the whispers of Satan, thereby contributing to the creation of a family environment characterized by peace of mind and harmony.

Recommended Times and Circumstances for Couples to Pray

There are auspicious times and noble circumstances for supplication during which it is more likely to be accepted, the most important of which are as follows:

  • The Last Third of the Night: It is the time of divine descent, when God answers those who call upon Him.
  • Between the Adhan and the Iqama: It has been reported from the Prophet, peace be upon him, that supplications made at this time are never rejected.
  • During prostration: For it is then that the servant is closest to his Lord, which makes supplication more earnest and intimate.
  • The last hour of Friday: It is a time when no Muslim’s prayer for good goes unanswered—whenever a Muslim asks God for something good, He grants it to him.
  • When traveling: The traveler’s supplication is answered, and it is recommended to use this opportunity to ask for guidance and blessings for one’s family.
