Her husband is temperamental. How should she make du’aa’ for him?

 

My sister is recently married but the
marriage has not been going well as expected. In the beginning, everything was just fine
but recently her husband has become very temperemental and has come very close to being
violent. Is there any duaas or Qur'anic verses that she may read to help restore their
marriage to the way it was?

Praise be to Allaah.

There is no specific soorah or du’aa’ that may
be recited in the situation described, but this wife can pray for her husband however she
wishes, such as saying, “O Allaah, take away his anger, O Allaah, make him patient, O
Allaah, grant him tranquillity.” She should call on her Lord by His Most Beautiful
Names and beseech Him to help her; she should strive to offer her supplication at the
times when du’aa’s are most likely to be accepted, such as during the last third
of the night, or the last hour of Friday, or the Day of ‘Arafaah, and when
prostrating during prayer, and so on. We ask Allaah to put their affairs straight. May
Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.
