Spouses and Children as Comfort

Rabbi-j‘alni muqimas-salati wa min dhurriyyati rabbana wa taqabbal du‘a’

My Lord, make me one who establishes prayer, and also from my offspring. Our Lord, accept my supplication.

Rabbi hab lī min ladunka dhurriyyatan ṭayyibah, innaka samīʿu ad-duʿāʾ.

My Lord, grant me from Yourself good offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication.

Rabbi awziʿnī an ashkura niʿmataka allatī anʿamta ʿalayya wa-ʿalā wālidayya, wa-an aʿmala ṣāliḥan tarḍāh, wa-aṣliḥ lī fī dhurriyyatī. Innī tubtu ilayka wa-innī mina al-muslimīn.

My Lord, inspire me to be grateful for Your favor which You bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do righteous deeds that please You. Reform my offspring for me. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed I am of the Muslims.

Rabbi-j‘al hadhal-balad aminan wajnubni wa baniyya an na‘budal-asnam

My Lord, make this land safe and keep me and my children away from idol worship.

Rabbi la tadharni fardan wa anta khayrul-warithin

My Lord, do not leave me alone, while You are the best of inheritors.

Rabbanā wasiʿta kulla shay’i-r-raḥmata-w-wa ʿilmā, fa-ghfir lil-ladhīna tābū wa-t-tabaʿū sabīlaka wa qihim ʿadhābal-jaḥīm. Rabbanā wa adkhil-hum jannāti ʿadnini-l-latī wa-ʿadtahum wa man ṣalaḥa min ābā’ihim wa azwājihim wa dhurriy-yātihim, innaka Antal-ʿAzīzu-l-Ḥakīm. Wa qihimu-s-sayyi’āt, wa man taqi-s-sayyi’āti yawma’idhin fa-qad raḥimtah, wa dhālika huwal-fawzul-ʿAẓīm.

Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your path, and protect them from the punishment of Hell-fire. Our Lord, admit them to the eternal gardens of Paradise which You have promised them, along with whoever was righteous from their fathers, their spouses and their children. Indeed, You, and only You, are the All-Mighty and All-Wise. Protect them from all evil deeds. You will have bestowed Your mercy on those You protect from the evil deeds on that Day: that is the greatest achievement indeed.
