When to Read

This powerful dua is perfect for anyone struggling with infertility or desiring righteous children. It can be recited at any time, but is especially potent during the stillness of the night, after prayers, or when making personal supplications. Consider incorporating it into your daily supplications after Fajr or before sleeping.

How to Read

Recite this verse with complete sincerity and reliance on Allah. Raise your hands in supplication as you do, embodying humility and hope. Believe firmly that Allah hears your plea and has the power to grant your request. It's also beneficial to combine this with other recommended duas for children and to perform righteous deeds that may please Allah.

Virtues & Benefits

This dua, uttered by Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he was childless in his old age, is a testament to the power of sincere supplication. It teaches us to turn to Allah in our times of need, seeking His mercy and granting of righteous offspring who will be a source of joy and benefit in this life and the hereafter. The Quran mentions Ibrahim's (peace be upon him) plea right after he declared his devotion to Allah and his father, highlighting that seeking righteous children is a part of a believer's purpose and connection with their Creator. Allah promises to respond to the sincere dua of the believer.
