You know that “butterflies in the stomach” feeling? That can’t-eat, can’t-sleep, obsessively-checking-your-phone kind of love? Yeah, it’s cute…until it isn’t. Because guess what? Feelings fade. Looks change. But do you know what doesn’t fade? A strong connection to Allah (SWT). If your love story isn’t built on a foundation of deen, it’s like building a mansion on sand. One good storm, and poof! Bye-bye, dream life.
So, if you’re tired of getting ghosted, heartbroken, or just feeling “meh” in your relationship, let’s talk about 7 Quranic reminders that will keep your love thriving and your heart grounded. Ready to glow up spiritually? Let’s go!
1. Start with Taqwa, or Prepare for Drama
“And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out.” (Quran 65:2)
Sis, if taqwa (God-consciousness) isn’t the blueprint of your relationship, you’re basically building your love life with expired glue. It’s gonna fall apart. Taqwa keeps your heart clean and your intentions pure. It reminds you that love isn’t just about cute selfies and matching hoodies, it’s about seeking Allah’s pleasure. When both of you prioritize Allah, you’re already winning.
Power Move: Start your day with dua for each other. Because nothing says “I care” like praying for someone’s soul.
2. Looks Fade, But Good Character Is Forever
“Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.” (Quran 49:13)
Girl, he might have abs today, but will he have patience tomorrow? Will he treat you with kindness when life gets hard? Outer beauty is great (and let’s not pretend we don’t appreciate it), but character is what lasts when youth fades. Choose someone whose deen shines brighter than their smile.
Power Move: Observe how they treat waiters, family, and strangers. Because if they’re rude to others, you’ll be next.
3. The Ultimate Third Wheel? Allah. Always.
“And He is with you wherever you are.” (Quran 57:4)
You think you’re alone on that late-night call? Think again. Allah is always present. When you keep Him in the center of your relationship, everything becomes clearer. Temptation? Easier to resist. Miscommunication? Easier to fix. Doubts? Easier to dissolve.
Power Move: Make it a habit to remind each other of Allah’s presence. A simple, “Have you prayed today?” can work wonders.
4. Patience is Sexy (and Sunnah)
“So be patient. Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth.” (Quran 30:60)
Modern love is all about instant gratification. But real love? That takes patience, sis. Patience with his quirks. Patience with your growth. Patience with Allah’s plan. If you’re rushing the timeline, you’re only rushing into trouble.
Power Move: Practice patience by slowing down. Don’t force timelines. Trust in Allah’s perfect plan.
5. Forgive Like You Mean It
“…and let them pardon and overlook. Would you not like that Allah should forgive you?” (Quran 24:22)
Spoiler: He’s going to mess up. You are too. Welcome to being human. But holding grudges? That’s not cute, and it’s definitely not Islamic. Mercy and forgiveness are the secret sauces to long-lasting love.
Power Move: When you’re mad, make dua for them. It’s hard to stay angry when you’re praying for someone’s good.
6. No Barakah in Haram
“And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.” (Quran 17:32)
Let’s be blunt: Haram relationships bring nothing but heartbreak and confusion. There’s no blessing in sneaky links or secret dates. If it’s real, you’ll do it the halal way. And trust me, the barakah (blessing) of a halal love story hits different.
Power Move: Establish boundaries. Not the flimsy kind. Real, strong ones. Because protecting your heart protects your future.
7. Keep Your Intentions Pure, Even When It’s Hard
“Say, ‘Indeed, my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.'” (Quran 6:162)
Why are you even in this relationship? Is it for vibes, validation, or because you genuinely believe it will help you grow closer to Allah? Pure intentions are like spiritual GPS, they keep you on the right path, even when it’s bumpy.
Power Move: Do regular heart-checks. Ask yourself, “Is this relationship pleasing to Allah?”
Final Thoughts: Choose Deen, Choose Peace
Look, love is beautiful. But love rooted in deen? That’s unshakeable. That’s the kind of love that grows old with you, that stands by you when times get rough, that holds your hand while reminding you of Jannah.
So, queen, choose a love that feeds your soul. Choose a love that starts with Allah and ends in Jannah. Because anything less? It’s just not worth it.
And hey, if you’re struggling, remember: Allah’s mercy is infinite. Turn to Him, and He’ll turn to you.
