When Love is Written in a Dua.

Growing up, I always believed love had to be loud. It needed to be expressed through words of affection and actions that made it clear how much someone meant to us. And it’s something we often do for others when we love them, a way to show love and truly express how we feel for them.

Until I realized there was another kind of love. That is the love found in dua. A prayer we made for someone, from the depths of our hearts.

Can love truly be felt without words?

I think it’s not always easy to raise our hands and make dua for someone else, especially when they are not our family, relatives, or close friends. To sincerely ask for their well-being, their success, and their happiness requires a kind of selflessness that comes from deep care.

To do this consistently, without expecting anything in return, takes a heart that is pure and full of love.

And I see it as beautiful. It doesn’t need the other person to know about it. They don’t have to see it, acknowledge it, or return it.

Sometimes, the person we make dua for isn’t even a part of our daily lives. They might be someone we admire from a distance, someone whose presence has inspired us in ways they may never know. 

Maybe they are people who walked into our lives at a time when we were lost or uncertain, and without even trying, they gave us strength. Just by being who they are, they helped us see the light in ourselves again.

Perhaps, someone somewhere is quietly praying for you too. 

I believe the same is true for us. Maybe somewhere out there, someone might be silently praying for our happiness and cheering for our success. The bittersweet part is, we may never know who they are, but their prayers still reach us. 

What holds you back from telling them?

The reality is that love is always filled with complexities. There are moments when we feel unsure about sharing our feelings, especially if we’re afraid it might change things. We worry that expressing our love could make things awkward or even ruin a good friendship. Or perhaps we feel that the person we love might not feel the same way, and that thought holds us back.

The love you feel, the words you don’t say. 

Instead of saying the words, we choose to hold that love quietly in our hearts. Even though we don’t say it out loud, our love is still there, in every prayer and every thought we send their way.

 

And love doesn’t always need to be loud. In fact, sometimes the most sincere and pure love is the love that remains silent.
