Du’a for Marriage and Children | Servants of the Most Merciful Ep. 10

Acts of Worship

Sharia

This lecture is the final episode of a series on Ibadur Rahman (Servants of the Most Merciful), focusing on the du'a found in Surah Al-Furqan [25:74]: 'Our Lord, grant us from among our spouses and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.' The speaker explores this verse across multiple life circumstances — as a child, as someone single, as a new Muslim with a non-Muslim spouse, and as a married person with righteous family — demonstrating how the du'a applies universally. Drawing on the historical context of early Mecca, the speaker references the narration of Al-Miqdad ibn Al-Aswad, who rebuked those who romanticized the companionship of the Prophet (ﷺ), reminding them of the immense pain the early Muslims endured seeing their loved ones reject Islam. The term 'qurrat al-ayn' (coolness of the eyes) is analyzed linguistically, revealing two meanings: istiqrar (something that captivates and settles the gaze) and al-bard (the coolness associated with tears of joy). The speaker connects this to the Prophet's (ﷺ) hadith that the true coolness of his eyes was in salah, and to Imam Hasan al-Basri's commentary that the greatest joy for a parent is seeing their children in the worship of Allah. The verse's second part, 'make us leaders of the pious,' is explained as a du'a to be followed in righteousness and to leave a legacy of guidance, not fame. The lecture concludes with the subsequent verses of Surah Al-Furqan, which promise the righteous lofty palaces (al-ghurfa) in paradise as a reward for their patience (sabr), greetings of peace from the angels, and eternal residence in the best of abodes — a direct divine response to their earlier plea to be saved from hellfire.

How To Really Revere the Qur’an | Servants of the Most Merciful Ep. 9

In this ninth session of the 'Ibadur Rahman (Servants of the Most Merciful) series, the speaker reflects on the penultimate characteristic of the servants of Ar-Rahman as described in Surah Al-Furqan: that when the verses of their Lord are recited to them, they do not fall upon those verses deaf and blind. The lecture draws a contrast between the mushrikeen of early Mecca — who would deliberately drown out the Qur'an to avoid being moved by it — and the true believer who receives the Qur'an with full presence, humility, and openness. The speaker explains that the same senses (hearing, sight, and comprehension) can either draw a person closer to Allah or distance them, depending on how they are used. He identifies four barriers to receptivity: listening only to refute, listening to weaponize verses against Muslims (as the Khawarij did), listening only for confirmation bias, and listening only until it becomes uncomfortable. The Qur'an is described as the ultimate diagnostic tool of the heart — the more a person can sit with it attentively, the healthier their spiritual state. The speaker warns against consuming the Qur'an like background content or social media, and emphasizes that sins corrupt individual organs, blocking the blessings of hearing, sight, and speech. He shares personal anecdotes, including a moving account of a dying woman of Qur'an who could see angels enter the room only during live recitation, and the story of 'Umar ibn Al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) whose entire character was transformed the moment he opened his heart to Surah Taha. The lecture concludes with the hopeful message that heeding the ayat of Ar-Rahman is the master key to attaining all the qualities of Ibadur Rahman, and that the Qur'an has the power to resuscitate even a dead heart.
