Islamic and Religious Anniversary Wishes for Couple

Islamic anniversary wishes centre on duas for sakinah (tranquillity), mawaddah (love) and rahmah (mercy) – the three blessings the Quran links to marriage in Surah Ar-Rum (30:21). Many Muslim families call it a nikah anniversary. For longer duas, see our Islamic wedding anniversary wishes and dua. Below are Islamic anniversary wishes for couple messages you can copy into a card or WhatsApp.

The classic marriage dua taught by the Prophet ﷺ is short enough for any card: “Barakallahu lakuma wa baraka ‘alaikuma wa jama’a bainakuma fi khair” – may Allah bless you both, shower blessings on you, and unite you in goodness.

1. Happy nikah anniversary! May Allah fill your home with sakinah, mawaddah and rahmah, ameen.
2. Barakallahu lakuma. May Allah keep you united in this world and reunite you in Jannah.

11. May Allah bless the hands that hold each other and the hearts that forgive each other.
12. JazakAllah khair for being an example of a halal, loving marriage. Happy anniversary!

For Christian and Hindu friends, a simple faith-based line works too (for more ideas, see these Christian wedding blessings and Bible verses):

• “May God continue to bless your marriage with love, patience and joy. Happy anniversary.”
• “Wishing you both a lifetime of blessings as bright as your wedding day.”
• “May the bond you promised before God grow deeper every year.”
