When to Read
This beautiful dua is perfect for recitation at any time, but it holds special significance on Friday. Since Friday is a blessed day, and the time before Maghrib is considered a moment when Allah's mercy descends, making this dua then is especially hopeful. You can recite it after your prayers, during the khutbah (sermon) if you feel a connection, or as you prepare to break your fast on a Friday if you observe it.
How to Read
Recite this ayah with sincerity and a heart full of hope, visualizing the loving family life you aspire to. Focus on the meaning of seeking 'comfort to our eyes' from your spouse and children, implying a sense of peace, joy, and righteousness they bring. Also, reflect on the aspiration to be 'an example for the righteous,' striving to set a positive example through your own conduct and family upbringing. Raising your hands is generally considered part of making dua, but this ayah can be recited with or without raised hands, focusing on the connection with Allah.
Virtues & Benefits
This ayah encompasses the profound desire for a spouse and children who are not just present, but a source of genuine happiness and spiritual upliftment ('comfort to our eyes').

Seeking this for ourselves and our descendants on a blessed day like Friday amplifies our supplication.
