Virtues & Benefits
Asking Allah for righteous children is a Sunnah of the Prophets themselves, as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him).

Cultivating kindness and compassion in children helps them build strong relationships, contribute positively to society, and fulfill their duties towards others as Islam teaches.
