โœฆ

Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a'yunin waj'alna lil muttaqeena imaman.

When to Read

This beautiful supplication is ideal for making during personal prayer (salah), after salah, during the blessed times like the last third of the night, or whenever you reflect on the importance of raising righteous children. Itโ€™s a prayer that can be offered anytime you feel the responsibility of nurturing the next generation.

How to Read

Recite this ayah with sincerity and focus, envisioning your children and grandchildren growing up with strong faith and excellent character. Raise your hands in supplication as you would in prayer. Believe that Allah (SWT) hears your plea and will answer it in the best way, even if it's not immediately apparent. Itโ€™s about planting seeds of faith and righteousness in your own hearts first, so you can then guide your families.

Virtues & Benefits

This verse beautifully encapsulates the desire for a righteous lineage that brings joy and peace to the hearts of parents. It's not just about personal comfort, but about raising a generation that leads by example for the wider community. When our children are guided and their faith is strong, they become a source of immense satisfaction in this life and a continuous source of reward in the hereafter. This dua asks Allah to make us not only parents of the righteous but also leaders who exemplify piety for them and for others.
