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

When to Read

This beautiful supplication from the Quran can be recited at any time, but it is especially poignant to make it regularly during the five daily prayers (Salat), during voluntary night prayers (Qiyam al-layl), or even when making general supplication (Dua) with hands raised. It's a powerful prayer to ask Allah to make our family life a source of comfort and a reflection of righteousness, fostering mutual joy and admiration within the marriage.

How to Read

Recite this dua with sincere intention and a hopeful heart, focusing on the meaning of the words. Visualize your spouse and children (or future children) as a source of 'coolness to your eyes' โ€“ a sign of deep contentment and joy. Imagine your household being a beacon of good conduct and piety for others. Making dua with earnestness, believing in Allah's promise, is key.

Virtues & Benefits

This verse highlights the profound desire for a righteous and happy family. When we pray for our spouses and children to be the 'coolness of our eyes', we are asking for a relationship filled with love, harmony, and mutual satisfaction. It shifts the focus from superficial qualities to the deeper blessings of a God-conscious partnership. Furthermore, asking to be 'imams for the righteous' means praying for our family to be a source of inspiration and good example for others, reflecting the beautiful character and practices of the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ and his family.
