Introduction: A short story 🤎
I met her for the first time in the college canteen. A cup of tea and a series of gossips. Speaking freely, a little hesitation in between. The heart immediately said – “It clicked!” But later… I don’t know why my sleep went away, my heart became restless. A rain of questions in my mind – is this the right relationship? Is she in my destiny? Dua for love Istikhara and Ayatul Kursi
Then I sat down to pray for the first time after hearing about Ishtikharah. A little fear in my heart, a little hope. And then I heard Ayatul Kursi, called Chain only after reading it completely. This was my journey.
💭 Dua for love – why and how to do it?
Love matters are of the heart, but its path often seems raw, confusing and shrinking. I have myself felt that when the paths in relationships become blurred, then prayer brings the heart and makes it sit on that path.
First of all, speak the truth inside – Duaa works only when the heart is clean and full of truth.
Speak in simple words – lies or “premeditated desires” do not work in front of Allah.
Spare a little time every day – the fresh morning time and the relaxing night time are both good.
Connect with both tradition and Khudi – if you do not remember the words like “…Rabbi hab li…” then speak directly from the heart like “O Allah, give me my true partner”.
Ishtikhaara Dua – get rid of options?
Ishtikhaara means “finding goodness” – simple, when the mind is confused on any matter, the brain is tired, the compass of the heart does not show the direction – give Ishtikhaara Dua.
🕊️ My way:
A little sleep (if it is night, it is better to sleep earlier!)
Ask for a sign with a clear heart – meaning: Allah, if this relationship is right for me then open the way, and if it is not, then do not let me lose hope.
Then see, if you feel calmer in your heart than before or see a picture in your dreams – understand that it is enough!
I truly believe: Ishtikharah builds a bridge from the mind to the heart, like a friend holding your hand says – “Just go here, I am here.”
Ayatul Kursi – Shield of the heart, strength of the soul
“اللّٰهُ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ…” This is how Ayatul Kursi begins, and let me tell you – this is not just a verse, but a powerful shield of protection.
My experiences:
When there was distress in a relationship, I would get up in the middle of the night and just recite this – I would find peace in my heart, dispel fear and get a winning deal at night.
In a difficult time – be it embarrassment, fear, nothing would seem easy – just recite this verse, and it would remind me of Allah’s promise that He “sees, knows and takes care of everything”.
Ayatul Kursi is not just for everyday, but it helps day and night – if you can’t sleep, if your heart is restless, if you don’t feel like humming a song.
How to make it a part of your daily routine?
As soon as you wake up in the morning – first say salaam to Allah, first say thanks, then make it compulsory to read Ayatul Kursi.
Regular Ishtikharah – for any big or small matter, (relationship, job, study, travel) adopt the method of giving Roza – the heart will start responding on its own.
Prayer for love and acceptance of Ibadat – no long rituals, just say once a day with an open heart – “O Allah, give me love, I will like love”.
Just reading is not enough – there should be feeling too
You don’t have to just utter words in prayer – at that time there should be such feeling in the heart that the authentic message reaches Allah.
Think: what is right and wrong?
Are you getting encouraged/not getting encouraged?
When he is in front of you, does the heart feel happy or scared?
That is why I say that if you just sit there reciting Iftitah-al-Salat, you will not be able to leave any impression. But if two hearts speak openly, speak from the heart… then the effect will be seen automatically.
A question to you – have these things happened to you too?
Have you ever slept overnight thinking about something?
Have you ever felt scared in front of a relationship?
Have you ever asked yourself – “Allah! Show me the right path.”
If yes, then your heart has also reached a little on this journey – and Dua, Ishtikhara, Ayatul Kursi… all three can become your friends.
Last advice – maintain consistency
Love, happiness, peace – for building all relationships, time, heart, intentions are needed. If one day you stop praying, the next day you become lazy – then I am afraid, a vehicle which does not have oil, no matter how big it is, will not be able to run.
Morning or evening – any time, but take out time every day.
Start with small intentions – like reading for 2 minutes, gradually increasing it.
If you don’t feel like it, but your body says yes – just start, whatever your mind says.
Conclusion – from the heart
I know, in the world of love and relationships, confusion, fear, questions… everything will come. This is my story – this that holder (datehold) started from cup, tea, canteen and college 😉 which taught me that when darkness is deep, you pray, ask for Ishtikharah, and listen to Ayatul Kursi – Allah will himself make a way to pass.
If you do this yourself, then you will really feel – this is not just worship, but friendship, communication, relationship between you and Allah.
