Supplication
for offspring (1 of 9)
|
|
|
|
| Rabbi
hab lii mil-ladunka zurriyyatan tayyibah 'innaka samii-'ud-du'aa' |
| My
Rabb! give me from Yourself a pure offspring. You are indeed Hearer
of prayer. (3:37) |
| |
 |
| Prophet
Zakariya made this supplication as mentioned in Surah Al-e-Imran.
Zakariya
was guardian
of Maryam. When Maryam grew up in purity and devoutness, Zakariya
longed for such a child for himself - a child who would be as pure,
virtuous and honorable as Maryam. In the following verse, 3:38,
malaks brought the glad tidings of Yahya, "a noble and a chaste
man, and a nabi from among the righteous". Note the emphasis
at the end of the supplication that Allah is "indeed Hearer
of prayer". Do we need any other kind of reassurance? |
