But for the believing men, the biggest longing must miss to meet Allah Ta’ala and The Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Missing in Islam is a fitra. We are not sinned if we miss someone in our life. But, we have to act on the missing in the right ways.

For example, when woman missed a man who weren’t her mahram. That man is her best friend. So, What does woman do? Do they must display their missing with dating? Of course, not! Dating in Islam is haram because it is near adultery. Allah S.W.T explains the gain of courtship in Islam.

“Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity of them: And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.” (Q.S An-Nur : 30)
“And do not come near adultery. It is immoral and an evil way.” (Q.S Al-Isra : 32)


My beloved sister, you have to know that the best way to display missing is dua. Remember that we are a weak human. We can’t get something if we only rely on ourselves.

We need help from Allah S.W.T because we are created by Allah S.W.T. Allah is the greatest. He can turn human heart. And if He said “Be” and it is!

“And your Lord says: Call on Me: I will answer your (prayer): but those who are too arrogant to serve Me with surely find themselves in Hell –in humiliation!” (Q.S Al-Mukmin : 60)

“Call upon your Lord humbly and privately. He does not love the aggressors. And do not corrupt on earth after its reformation, and pray to Him with fear and hope. God’s mercy is close to the doers of good.” (Q.S Al-‘Araf : 55-56)

Commonly, people mix surah Al-Baqarah verse 165 with surah Ali Imran verse 14 as Wirid. So, they are missed by someone who they missed. But one more time, there is no hadits or verse that strengthen this opinion.

“ Zuyyinalinnasi hubbushahawati minannisa’i walbani na walqanaathiril muqanthorotiminazzahabi walfidhah.”

O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! All- Knower of the Ghaib (unseen) and the seen. You will judge between your slaves about that wherein they used to differ


7. Dua Missing Parents

Missing is not only for sweetheart or partner in life. Sometimes, that feeling happened if we were far away from our parents. Besides calling or video call, we can pray to Allah S.W.T to establish our missing to parents.

“Allahummaghfirlii waliwaalidayya war hamhumaa kama rabbayaanii shagiraa.”

“Ya Allah, forgive me my sins and those are of my parents, and have mercy upon them as they had mercy upon me when I was small.”


Actually, this dua is not only read when we are far away from our parents. We should read this dua after pray as our shape of love to our mom and dad.

Thus some dua that were believed as missing medicine to someone. We have to read dua for our parents everyday. But for another dua are still not clear theorem about them. The most Ulama recommended that we have to pray commonly when there is something important.

For example, missing our partner, we pray with daily language (begins with praise and mention the most beautiful name of God). Then, we can relay our wish, “Ya Allah, please take care …. (wife or husband) well in there. Close him to me, protect him from Satan whisper and etc.”

For Akhwat and Ikhwan who missed sweetheart quietly, you have to be left your heart to Allah S.W.T. Because something that is looked good is not necessarily a good thing for us. It is different with Allah S.W.T choice, it must be good for our life.

Allah Subhanahu Wata’ala said in Surah Al-Baqarah that means:

“But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you and perhaps you love a thing and it is  bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.” (Q.S Al-Baqarah : 216)


We have to believed that a mate never switch. Let Allah S.W.T to take care your heart and your future mate. Whenever he is, we must accept to Allah S.W.T. Our role is only cleaning ourselves to become a good moslem.

Because Allah promises that a good person will be met with a good person, too. And a bad person will be met with a bad person, too.
