ربنا هب لنا من أزواجنا وذرياتنا قرة أعين واجعلنا للمتقين إماما
Rabbanā Hab Lanā min Azwājinā wa Dhurriyyātinā Qurrata Aʿyunin wa Ijʿalnā lil-Muttaqīna Imāman
“Our Lord, grant that our spouses and children be a joy to us, and make us leaders of the God-fearing”; said when speaking of spouses or children.
What it means
This is a supplication from the Quran, in which believers ask God for spouses and offspring who will be a comfort to the eyes, a joy and a source of pride, and for the grace to be leaders of the muttaqīn, those mindful of God. It appears at 25:74 in the description of the servants of the Most Merciful. Muslims say it in any conversation about wives, husbands or children, and parents recite it as a prayer for their family, asking that those closest to them be pious and that they themselves be an example to others.
