These seven practices are shared here for people who are finding it difficult to receive a marriage proposal.

7 Prayers to Get Married Soon

Some people receive a marriage proposal quickly, while others wait longer and find the wait stressful. A delay does not mean a dua has failed. Muslims are encouraged to keep praying, take practical steps, and trust Allah’s timing.

1. Reciting Surah Yasin

Because of its boundless bounties, Surah Yasin is often known as the heart of the Quran.

Surah Yasin is often called the heart of the Qur’an. Some people recite it when hoping for marriage, but no specific marriage outcome is promised for reciting it.

2. The dua of Musa in Surah Al-Qasas (28:24)

Musa (peace be upon him) made this dua in Surah Al-Qasas, verse 24, while he was in exile, lonely and in need of help.

رَبِّ إِنِّي لِمَا أَنزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ

Rabbi inni lima anzalta ilayya min khayrin faqir — “My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need.” (Qur’an 28:24)

Some people recite this verse regularly when hoping for marriage, and some recite Surah Ad-Duha after Fajr. These are popular practices, not fixed requirements, and the number of repetitions is not set by the Qur’an.

3. Reciting the name of Allah

Some people follow this routine: Durood Shareef 11 times, the name “Allah” 313 times, then Durood Shareef 11 times again, repeated after each prayer for 41 days. This routine comes from popular practice, not from a Qur’anic or Prophetic prescription, so missing a day does not invalidate one’s dua.

4. Recite Surah At-Tawbah, verse 129.

The verse reads: حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ — “Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa huwa, ‘alayhi tawakkaltu, wa huwa rabbul ‘arshil ‘azim.” “Sufficient for me is Allah; there is no deity except Him. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne.” (Qur’an 9:129)

Some people recite this verse as part of a routine with Bismillah 19 times, the verse 1100 times, and Durood Shareef 100 times, then pray for a marriage proposal for themselves or their children. The counts in that routine are a popular practice, not a requirement.

5. Recite Surah Maryam

Once a day, recite Surah Maryam after any salah.

In some families, this is recited by the girl or her mother.

6. The dhikr of Fatimah (RA)

Recite 2 Rakaah salah at any moment, then Durood Shareef 11 times.

Then recite the Tasbeeh of Fatimah: SubhanAllah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times, and Allahu Akbar 34 times.

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

Then recite Durood Shareef 11 times to complete the dhikr.

After this dhikr, some people recite the following surahs:

Surah Taha 

Surah Ash-Shu’ara

Surah Al-Qasas

Surah Yasin

This part is sometimes recited by a parent — usually the mother, or the father if she is unable to do so.

7. Recite Surah Al-Muzzammil

If a girl has grown up without receiving marriage offers, some parents follow this practice: the mother or father prays two rak’ahs (like Fajr) on Friday after Jumu’ah prayer and then recites Surah Al-Muzzammil 21 times.
