EPISODE 2️⃣4️⃣ – NINTH (LAST) CHARACTERISTIC: THEY ALWAYS MAKE DU’A THAT THEIR SPOUSE AND LINEAGE ARE THE COOLNESS OF THEIR EYES (Continuation)
➖➖➖
Conclusion of this Ayah
In this du’a, we ask Allaah to grant us spouses and children that will be the coolness of our eyes. We ask Allaah for a place of refuge and tears of joy – that when we look at our spouse who loves you and advises you for the sake of Allaah, or how he or she raises your children so that they grow up to love the Deen, or when you look at your children who love to pray, love the Qur’an – and all other things that indicate their obedience to Allaah – make you so happy and grateful that they make you cry.
And just like any du’a, we need to exert efforts as well. We can’t supplicate this du’a and expect everything to magically change the next day. We have to spend quality time and have the patience to rectify, teach, and protect our family. Don’t forget to rectify ourselves as well – we need to aspire in becoming a better parent/husband/wife. With effort, consistency and patience, Allaah will grant us that du’a.
In Shaa Allaah..
Some short practical advice:
💎 Parenting was very different 20 or 40 years ago, and they might be the practical approach in those times, but we can’t use those same methods for our children in this age. We need to be both the authority and a friend to our children. The biggest priority of a parent is the Islam of his/her children. And the best person who can instill the love of Islam to our children is ourselves, but we will not be able to instill it if we keep yelling at them, or have no time to talk and listen to them.
💎 For the spouses – Wives, there is enough fitnah outside your home. So smile to your husband. Dress up for your husband, not for the public. Your husband should find beauty in you and peace with you. Husbands, stop complaining about everything your wife does. Give compliments and say nice things to her. Help her with the chores. Both spouses should learn about the rights of each other and fulfill them.
When we are good parents/husbands/wives, so will our children. This is how we can become leaders of the muttaqun.
A short, beautiful du’a – yet it packs so much khayr! This is not only an important du’a for both married and single Muslims (i.e. for their future spouse and family).
With that we are done with all the nine characteristics of Ibad-ur Rahman. Alhamdulilah.
In Shaa Allaah, in the next episode we will be talking about the reward for those who have these beautiful traits of Ibad-ur Rahman.
May Allaah grant us spouses and children who will be the coolness of our eyes, and that He makes us leader of the pious and righteous.
آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ
