Supplications for Having Children
Question:
A family member has been trying for a child for many years. Medical tests haven’t come up with any reason why the couple has been unsuccessful. Are there any wird / dua’s you can advise for the couple?
Answer:
In order to be blessed with pious children, one should recite the following supplication abundantly, whenever possible:
Transliteration:
Rabbi la tazar ni fardan wa anta khayrul warithin
Translation:
“O my Lord! Leave me not without offspring, though you are the best of inheritors.” (Surah al-Anbiya, 89)
Another supplication (dua) that may be useful is:
Transliteration:
“Rabbi hab li min ladunka dhurriyyatan tayyibah innaka sami’ul dua”
Translation:
“O my Lord! Grant unto me from You a progeny that is pure: for You are He that hears prayer!
And Allah knows best
