โœฆ

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

*Rabbana hablana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a'yunin waj'alna lilmuttaqina imaman*

When to Read

This powerful supplication from the Quran can be recited at any time, but it's particularly meaningful to say it during the times when duas are more likely to be answered, such as after every prayer, during the last third of the night, or on Fridays. You can also focus on it during times of personal reflection and when you feel a strong need for Allah's intervention in your marital relationship, praying for your spouse's heart to soften and for them to become more receptive to good counsel and gentle guidance.

How to Read

Recite this ayah with sincerity and a humble heart, focusing your intention on seeking Allah's help to foster understanding, gentleness, and openness in your spouse. Imagine the beauty of a relationship where both partners are guided by faith and find joy and comfort in each other. Raising your hands in supplication (while observing proper etiquette, like facing the Qiblah if possible and in a state of purity) can enhance the feeling of seeking Allah's direct assistance.

Virtues & Benefits

This ayah is a comprehensive plea for righteousness within the family unit. It asks for spouses and children to be a source of joy ('comfort to our eyes') and for the family to be a model of piety for others. By reciting this, we are asking Allah to imbue our spouse with qualities that lead to a more harmonious and faith-centered life together, including a disposition that is less stubborn and more open to wise advice and positive influence.
