What prayer should we recite in order to have a good child?
Dear Brother / Sister,
The following verses serve for demanding a child and wishing a good heir if recited as a prayer. Because Zacharias (PBUH) and other prophets prayed so. Thus, it is to our benefit to pray with these verses in case of such a problem.
It will be better to read them from the original Quran, but the ones who may not read it, can read the prayers from the translations too.
“And those who pray "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous..." (al-Furqan, 25/74.)
"if Thou givest us a goodly child, we vow we shall (ever) be grateful." (al-A’raf,7/189.)
“O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!" (as- Saffat, 37/100)
"Now I fear (what) my relatives (and colleagues) (will do) after me: but my wife is barren: so give me an heir as from Thyself― (One that) will (truly) represent me, and represent the posterity of Jacob; and make him, O my Lord! one with whom Thou art well-pleased!" (Maryam,19/5-6)
