Our Lord, grant us from among our spouses and our offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example to the righteous.

Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a'yunin waj'alna lil-muttaqeena imama

When to Read

This is the ultimate dua for anyone who desires a righteous family. It's beautiful to recite during the quiet hours of the night, during sujood (prostration) in prayer, or anytime you make sincere supplication to Allah. Making it a regular practice, perhaps after every prayer or on a Friday, imbues your intention with consistent hope for your family's well-being and piety.

How to Read

When reciting this ayah, let your heart be present. Visualize the comfort and joy that righteous children bring โ€“ a joy that lasts beyond this life. The phrase 'qurrata a'yunin' (comfort to our eyes) signifies a deep, serene happiness. Pray with humility, acknowledging that offspring are a gift from Allah, and that guiding them to righteousness is a profound responsibility. Ask with conviction, believing in Allah's power to answer and His infinite mercy.

Virtues & Benefits

This verse encapsulates the aspiration for a family that is not only a source of happiness in this world but also a means of drawing closer to Allah in the Hereafter. The desire to be 'an example to the righteous' speaks to a broader goal: raising children who will be a source of benefit to the Ummah, embodying Islamic values and inspiring others. It's a dua that seeks blessings for both the individual and the collective, aiming for a lineage that is pleasing to Allah.
