Dua for Parents (Mercy and Kindness in Old Age)
The divine prayer prescribed in the Quran to lower the wing of humility and pray for boundless mercy for one’s mother and father, recalling their tender care during childhood.
رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا
Rabbi r-ḥamhumā kamā rabbayānī ṣaghīrā
The root R-B-W in "rabbayānī" (رَبَّيَانِي) implies holistic cultivation—physical, spiritual, and emotional care requiring patience and self-sacrifice. Praying for Allah’s Rahmah (Mercy) repays their sleepless nights with eternal divine compassion.
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: "When a person dies, all their deeds end except three: continuous charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them." (Sahih Muslim 1631).
Dua for Spouses and Offspring (The Joy of Our Eyes)
The supplication of the true Servants of the Most Merciful (Ibad ur-Rahman) seeking righteous companions and offspring who bring comfort to the soul.
رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا
Rabbanā hab lanā min azwājinā wa-dhurriyyātinā qurrata a‘yunin wa-j‘alnā li-l-muttaqīna imāmā
"Qurrata a‘yun" (قُرَّةَ أَعْيُن) refers to tears of joy and soothing peace when witnessing one’s family worship Allah and walk the path of virtue. Asking to be an "Imam for the Muttaqin" is a noble ambition to lead in good deeds and humility.
Mentioned in Surah Al-Furqan (25:74) as the defining characteristic of those who inherit the lofty mansions of Paradise (Al-Ghurfah).
