โœฆ

Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring the coolness of our eyes, and make us an example to the righteous."

Rabbana hablana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a'yunin waj'alna lil-muttaqeena imama

When to Read

This is a powerful supplication from the Quran that can be recited anytime. It's particularly meaningful when you're feeling the weight of responsibility for your family's well-being and spiritual development. Many parents find comfort reciting it daily, especially after salah, as a way to consistently seek Allah's blessings for their children and family.

How to Read

Recite this ayah with sincerity and focus, picturing your children and spouse. Understand the profound request you are making: not just for worldly comfort, but for eyes to be 'cooled' by the righteousness and piety of your family. Imagine the immense reward of being a leader in righteousness, not just for yourself but for your entire household and beyond.

Virtues & Benefits

This dua encompasses a deep yearning for a righteous family that brings joy and peace to your heart. It also elevates the aspiration to lead by example, becoming a beacon of faith for the God-conscious. Itโ€™s a comprehensive request that seeks both personal satisfaction through family and societal impact through righteous leadership. By asking to be an 'imam' for the muttaqeen (the God-fearing), we are asking Allah to enable us to raise children who will, in turn, inspire others towards goodness.
