My Lord, grant me from the righteous.
Rabbi hab li minas-salihin
When to Read
This is a profound supplication from Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when he was childless. Elderly grandparents can recite this, envisioning their grandchildren growing up as righteous individuals, excelling in their studies, and becoming pillars of their communities and the Ummah. It is particularly powerful after Fajr or Isha prayers, or during the blessed times like the last third of the night or when breaking one's fast.
How to Read
Recite with sincere intention and focus, picturing your grandchildren embodying the qualities of righteousness, diligence, and success in both worldly and religious pursuits. Raise your hands in supplication as the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ taught us, and believe that Allah hears and answers your prayers. Reflect on the meaning of 'Salihin' โ not just pious, but also good, upright, and beneficial people.
Virtues & Benefits
Seeking righteous offspring is a continuous form of sadaqah jariyah (ongoing charity) for parents and grandparents. When children grow up to be good, they continue to benefit their family even after their passing. This dua directly asks Allah for offspring who will be a source of joy, comfort, and good in this life and the next. It aligns with the Islamic principle of seeking beneficial knowledge and a successful future for our children, rooted in piety and good character.
