    Allah Subhaanahu wata’ala says in the Holy Quran:-

    (2. A reminder of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zakariyya.) (3. When he called his Lord with a call in secret.) (4. He said: “My Lord! Indeed my bones have grown feeble, and gray hair has Ashta`al on my head, and I have never been unblessed in my invocation to You, O my Lord!”) (5. “And verily, I fear Mawali after me, and my wife is barren. So give me from Yourself an heir.”) (6. “Who shall inherit me, and inherit (also) the posterity of Ya`qub. And make him, my Lord, one with whom You are well-pleased!”)

     

    The Story of Zakariyya Alaihissalaam and his Supplication for a son

     

    He was a great Prophet from the Prophets of the Children of Israel. In Sahih Al-Bukhari, it is recorded that the Prophet said about Zakariyya Alaihissalaam that He was a carpenter who used to eat from what he earned with his own hand through carpentry.

     

    Concerning Allah’s statement,

     

    (When he called his Lord with a call in secret.) He only made his supplication secretly because it is more beloved to Allah. This is similar to what Qatadah said concerning this Ayah,

     

    ”Verily, Allah knows the pious heart and he hears the hidden voice.”

     

    (He said: “My Lord! Indeed my bones have grown feeble…”) meaning, “I have become weak and feeble in strength.”

     

    (and gray hair has Ashta`al on my head,) means the gray hair has burned into the black hair. The intent is to inform of weakness and old age, and its external and internal traces.

     

    (and I have never been unblessed in my invocation to You, O my Lord!) This means, “I have not experienced from You except that You would respond to my supplication and that You would never refuse me in whatever I ask of You.”

     

    (And verily, I fear Mawali after me,) Mujahid, Qatadah and As-Suddi, all said, “In saying the word Mawali, he (Zakariyya) meant his succeeding relatives.” The reason for his fear was that he was afraid that the generation that would succeed him would be a wicked generation. Thus, he asked Allah for a son who would be a Prophet after him, who would guide them with his Prophethood and that which was revealed to him. In response to this I would like to point out that he was not afraid of them inheriting his wealth. For a Prophet is too great in status, and too lofty in esteem to become remorseful over his wealth in this fashion. A Prophet would not disdain to leave his wealth to his successive relatives, and thus ask to have a son who would receive his inheritance instead of them. This is one angle of argument.

     

    The second argument is that Allah did not mention that Zakariyya Alaihissalaam was wealthy. On the contrary, he was a carpenter who ate from the earnings of his own hand. This type of person usually does not have a mass of wealth. Amassing wealth is not something normal for Prophets, for verily, they are the most abstentious in matters of this worldly life.

     

    The third argument is that it is confirmed in the Two Sahihs, in more than one narration, that the Messenger of Allah said,

     

    (We (the Prophets) do not leave behind inheritance (of wealth). Whatever we leave behind, then it is charity.)

     

    Therefore, the meaning in these Hadiths restricts the meaning of Zakariyya Alaihissalaam ‘s statement,

     

    (So give me from yourself an heir. Who shall inherit me,) inheritance of Prophethood.

     

    (and make him, my Lord, one with whom You are well-pleased!) means “Make him pleasing to You (Allah) and your creation. Love him and make him beloved to your creatures, in both his religion and his character.”

     

    (7. (Allah said:) “O Zakariyya! Verily, We give you the good news of a son, whose name will be Yahya. We have given that name to none before (him).”)

    dua for spouses and children

    Listen to the audio recitation below.

    Allah says that the believers are the ones who say

    “Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring the comfort of our eyes…”) means those who ask Allah to bring forth from their loins offspring who will obey Him and worship Him and not associate anything in worship with Him.

    Ibn `Abbas Radi Allahu anhu said, “This means (offspring) who will strive to obey Allah and bring them joy in this world and the Hereafter.” Imam Ahmad recorded that Jubayr bin Nufayr said: “We sat with Al-Miqdad bin Al-Aswad one day, and a man passed by and said, “How blessed are these two eyes which saw the Messenger of Allah ! Would that we had seen what you saw and witnessed what you witnessed.”

    Al-Miqdad got angry, and I was surprised, because the man had not said anything but good. Then he turned to him and said, “What makes a man wish to be present when Allah had caused him to be absent, and he does not know how he would have behaved if he had been there. By Allah, there are people who saw the Messenger of Allah , and Allah will throw them on their faces in Hell because they did not accept him or believe in him. Are you not grateful that Allah brought you forth from your mothers’ wombs believing in your Lord and in what your Prophet brought, and that the test went to others and not to you. Allah sent His Prophet during the most difficult time that any Prophet was ever sent, after a long period of ignorance, when the people could see no better religion than the worship of idols, and he brought the Criterion which distinguishes truth from falsehood and which would separate a father from his son. A man would realize that his father, son or brother was a disbeliever, and since Allah had opened his heart to Faith, he knew that if his relative died he would go to Hell, so he could not rest knowing that his loved one was in the Fire.

    This is what Allah referred to in this Ayah.

    Its chain of narrators is Sahih, although they did not report it.

    (and make us leaders of those who have Taqwa.) Ibn `Abbas, Al-Hasan, As-Suddi, Qatadah and Rabi` bin Anas said: “Leaders who would be taken as examples in good.” Others said: “Guides who would call others to goodness.” They wanted their worship to be connected to the worship of their children and offspring, and their guidance to go beyond themselves and benefit others. This would be more rewarding and a better end, as it was recorded in Sahih Muslim from Abu Hurayrah Radi Allahu anhu, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah said:

    (When a son of Adam dies, his deeds cease, apart from three: a righteous child who will pray for him, knowledge from which others may benefit after him and an ongoing charity.)

    Allah says in the Holy Quran:-

    (75. Those will be rewarded with the highest place because of their patience. Therein they shall be met with greetings and the word of peace and respect.) (76. Abiding therein — excellent it is as an abode, and as a place to rest in.)

    Allah tells us that after He helped His close friend Ibrahim, peace be upon him, against his people, and after Ibrahim peace be upon him gave up hoping that they would ever believe despite all the mighty signs that they had witnessed, he emigrated away from them, and said:

    (Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me! My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous.) meaning, obedient children, in compensation for his people and relatives whom he had left.

    Allah said:

    (So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy.) This child was Isma`il, peace be upon him, for he was the first child of whom glad tidings were given to Ibrahim, peace be upon him, and he was older than Ishaq Alaihissalaam. The Muslims and the People of the Book agree, and indeed it is stated in their Book, that Isma`il, peace be upon him, was born when Ibrahim, peace be upon him, was eighty-six years old, and Ishaq Alaihissalaam was born when Ibrahim Alaihissalaam was ninety-nine years old.
