When to Read
This profound dua is particularly potent on a Friday, the blessed day of Jumu'ah. The Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) made this plea to Allah while he was alone, before the birth of his righteous sons Isma'il and Ishaq (peace be upon them). Reciting this on Friday, especially during the time of answering dua (such as after Asr prayer or during the Khutbah), carries immense hope for Allah to bestow righteous children upon us.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincere intention and complete reliance on Allah. It's best to place your hand on your chest where your heart is, focusing on your supplication. Ensure you are in a state of purity if possible, and face the Qiblah. Make this dua with conviction, believing that Allah is Al-Mujeeb (The One Who Responds).
Virtues & Benefits
This dua is a direct supplication from Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), a cherished prophet known for his unwavering faith and submission to Allah. Seeking righteous offspring is a noble aspiration, as virtuous children can be a source of immense comfort in this life and a continuous stream of reward (Sadaqah Jariyah) in the hereafter for their parents. Allah mentions this dua in Surah As-Saffat, highlighting its significance. The emphasis on Friday makes it an opportune time to seek Allah's blessings, as the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said there is an hour on Friday when Allah grants whatever is asked.
