Answer:
Dua for children
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave,
no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Your Question: i wanted to ask you about a Dua that i can
read. i have been married for 2 years and Allah Tala has given me everything
apart from a family.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 42 Surah
Shura verses 49-50:
49 To Allah belongs the Dominion of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He Wills. He bestows (children) male or female
according to His Will.
50 Or He bestows both males and females, and He leaves barren whom He
Wills: for He is Full of Knowledge and Power.
My beloved and dear Sister in Islam, keep your faith
constant in Allah Subhanah, the One and Only Creator and Bestower of the
Worlds. May Allah Subhanah make your
trial easy for you, and may The Lord Most Merciful bestow patience and
steadfastness on you to accept whatever He has Planned and Willed for you. May Allah Subhanah bestow upon you righteous
offspring, who become the contentment of your eyes in the life of this world
and a source of attaining
One of the best supplications to make to the Merciful Lord
when one wishes for an offspring is the humble and wholesome supplication of
the Prophet Zachariah (a.s.) when he was childless until an abject old age.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 21 Surah
Anbiya verses 89-90:
89 And (remember) Zakariya when he cried to his Lord: "O my
Lord! Leave me not without offspring, though Thou art the Best of Inheritors.”
90 So We listened to him: and We granted him Yahya: We cured his wife's
(barrenness) for him. These three were
ever quick in emulation in good works: they used to call on Us with love and
reverence, and humble themselves before Us.
Another beautiful supplication one could make is the
supplication made by the Noble Prophet Ayyub (a.s.), when truly distress seized
him and he lost his health, wealth, and children as a trial from his Lord.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 21 Surah
Anbiyaa verses 83-84:
83 And (remember) Ayyub when he cried to his Lord "Truly
distress has seized me, but Thou art the Most Merciful of those that are
merciful."
84 So We listened to him: We removed the distress that was on him, and
We restored his people to him and doubled their number as a Grace from
Ourselves, and a thing for commemoration for all who serve Us.
My dear and Beloved sister in Islam, be constant and
consistent in your supplication to the Merciful Lord, and beseech Him and Him
Alone in humility and in hope for all that your heart desires; for there is
none in the universe other than the One and Only Merciful Lord Who has the
Power to hear and respond to the supplication of His believing slaves.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 35 Surah
Fatir verse 2: What Allah out of His Mercy doth bestow
on mankind, there is none who can withhold: what He doth withhold, there is
none can grant apart from Him: and He is the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
Burhan
