Du’a for Marriage and Children | Servants of the Most Merciful Ep. 10

How can you become the comfort and joy of your parents and those who came before you?

As Dr. Omar Suleiman closes out the series, he reflects on the final verses of Surah al-Furqan, especially verse 74, unpacking the powerful meanings of being the “coolness of the eyes” and becoming “leaders of the pious.”

The du’a for marriage and children:

رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَٰجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍۢ وَٱجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

“Our Lord! Bless us with ˹pious˺ spouses and offspring who will be the joy of our hearts, and make us models for the righteous.” (25:74)
