Rabbana hablana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a'yunin waj'alna lil-muttaqeena imaman
When to Read
This beautiful dua from Surah Al-Furqan is perfect for reciting anytime, especially during your daily supplications. You can make it a habit to say it after every prayer or during the times when supplications are more likely to be answered, like the last third of the night or between the Adhan and Iqamah. When you make dua for your children, you are investing in their future and the future of the Ummah, asking Allah to make them a source of joy and guidance.
How to Read
Recite the Arabic verse with sincerity and focus, visualizing your children growing up with excellent manners and a strong connection to Allah. When you recite 'qurrata a'yunin' (comfort to our eyes), reflect on how their righteousness will bring you happiness in this life and the next. When you ask to be made 'imaman lil-muttaqeen' (an example for the righteous), remember that your own example plays a significant role in their upbringing.
