Rabbi Habli Min Ladunka Dua Meaning

The meaning of the rabbi habli min ladunka dua is My Lord, grant me from Yourself a good offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication.

Zakariya called upon his Lord, asking Him to bless him with righteous offspring, that is offspring who would be good in behaviour and attitude and well mannered, so that the blessings, both worldly and spiritual, would be completed by them.

While looking at the first sentence of this verse, (Thereupon, Zakariyya prayed to his Lord), we should bear in mind that Sayyidna Zakariyya had no offspring up to that time.

He had grown old and one usually does not have children at that age, although he firmly believed that Allah, in His ultimate power, could change the usual phenomenon and bless him with offspring even at his advanced age.

But he had not personally witnessed the unusual divine acts, such as he did when he saw unusual and out-of-season eatables provided for Sayyidah Maryam, and that was why he did not have the courage to extend his hand of prayer for an offspring.

Now when he saw the miracle with his own eyes, he was persuaded for such prayer under the belief that Allah, who can provide a servant with out-of-season fruits, would also bless him with an offspring, even in this late age, and so he prayed.

The second sentence of the verse: ‘He said: “0 my Lord, grant me from Your own (power) a goodly progeny, tells us that making prayers to have children is a blessed practice of the prophets and the righteous.

In another verse Allah Almighty has said:

And We sent messengers before you and provided them with wives and children.

Surah Ra’ad 38

It means that children are among the blessings of Allah which were bestowed on the Holy Prophet & as well as on other prophets.

Now, should someone try to stop the birth of children, by any means, he will not only rebel against nature but will also deprive himself of having acted in harmony with the common and agreed practice of prophets.

The Holy Prophet of Islam SAW has given great importance to the question of marriage and children, so much so that he did not allow anyone to avoid married life and children in spite of his capability, and refused to take such a person as a member of his community of followers.

He said:

• Marriage is my sunnah (way).
• So, whoever turns away from my sunnah, he is not from me.
• Therefore, marry a woman who is loving and fertile, for I shall compete with other communities on the basis of your numbers.

In another verse, Allah Almighty praises those who pray before Him to have a wife in marriage, have children and have them grow good and righteous.

He says: And those who say:

0 our Lord, bless us with such among our wives and our children as be the delight of our eyes.

Surah Furqan

Hasan al-Basri says that the Qur’anic expression – ‘qurrata a’yun‘ (literally: coolness or lustre of the eyes; meaning someone dearly loved and cherished).

Here means that the maker of prayer sees his children and wife devoted in obedience to Allah.

It appears in a hadith that Umm Sulaym requested the Holy Prophet to pray for his attendant, Sayyidna Anas.

He made the following prayer for him:

0 Allah, increase his wealth and his children and make him prosper in what You have bestowed on him.

It was the outcome of this very prayer that Sayyidna Anas, had about a hundred children and was also blessed with an ample measure of wealth.
