โœฆ

Our Lord, grant us from among our spouses and our offspring comfort for our eyes, and make us an example for the righteous.

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

When to Read

This powerful supplication is from Surah Al-Furqan. We can recite it at any time, but it's particularly poignant during personal duas, especially after prayers, or when reflecting on family life. It's a request for joy and contentment derived from our spouses and children, and a plea to be role models for the pious. Consider making it a regular part of your daily supplications, especially when you feel the need for deeper connection and harmony within your family.

How to Read

Recite this verse with sincere intention and a hopeful heart. Focus on the meaning of each word: 'Our Lord' (Rabbana), 'grant us' (hab lana), 'from among our spouses and our offspring' (min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina), 'comfort for our eyes' (qurrata a'yunin), and 'make us an example for the righteous' (waj'alna lil-muttaqeena imama). Visualize the blessings of a contented family life and the aspiration to be righteous leaders. Raise your hands as you normally would for dua, or simply place your hand on your chest while reciting, focusing on the sincerity of your plea.

Virtues & Benefits

This ayah encapsulates a profound aspiration for family well-being and spiritual leadership. By asking for 'comfort for our eyes' from our spouses and children, we are essentially praying for a family that brings us joy, peace, and contentment, and in whom we can find delight. It's a dua for healthy relationships, understanding, and mutual happiness. Furthermore, the second part, 'and make us an example for the righteous,' elevates this dua beyond personal comfort, asking for the ability to be beacons of guidance and good conduct for others within the community of the pious. It acknowledges our role and responsibility in setting a high standard for righteousness.
