Quranic verses on Dua(supplication) for righteous offspring

Supplications (Duas) to have children (OffSprings)
“My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous” (Quran 37/100) Email: mirzaehtesham1950(at)gmail.com “Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You” (Quran 2/128)
For couples those who do not have children, Scholars advised that both  husband and wife should not get worried and troubled as everything is in the Hand of Allah and whatever Allah has predestined will undoubtedly take place. Both must be patient, approach Allah, ask Him forgiveness, abide by His orders and supplicate Him. Indeed Allah does not turndown the supplications of those who supplicate to Him. Allah Says (And your Lord said: "Invoke Me, [i.e. believe in My Oneness (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation). [Quran Gafir 40/60].

         Allah also Says “(And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright). [Quran 2/186].
Scholars advised 2 things (1) Be Thankful to Allah (2) Istiqfar
(1) Be Thankful to Allah
       "If you would count up the favors of Allah, never would you be able to number them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Al-Nahl, 18)
Since there is no limit to the favors of Allah, a believer should unceasingly keep himself occupied with the remembrance of Allah and express his gratefulness to Him.

Allah Says  “If you give thanks, I will give you more (of My Blessings); but if you are thankless (i.e. disbelievers), verily My punishment is indeed severe.” (14/7)

(2) Istiqhfar

People often forget the importance of the simple yet powerful dua (supplication) – Istighfar i.e., saying “Astaghfirullah” (I seek forgiveness of Allah). Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) recited this at least 100 times a day. Istighfar (Astaghfirullah) is the gateway of relief and happiness. Whenever you are in distress start reciting it and Insha Allah it will take you out of your anxiety and will put you in a peaceful situation and will give you happiness. Istighfar is the secret of success and the medication that was prescribed to people who want to have more health, wealth or children.

       Allah will respond to your invocations and give you satisfaction, Insha Allah. Countless people have waited for years and years before getting children and at last Allah gave them what they desired.
Mirza Ehteshamuddin Ahmed-(Hyderabadi)

اَعُوْذُ بِاللّٰہِ مِنَ الشَّیْطَانِ الرَّجِیْمِ ۔ بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ.
رَبِّ ھَبْ  لِیْ مِنَ الصّٰلِحِیْنَ 
اے میرے رب مجھے نیک بخت اولاد عطا فرما 
“My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous” (Quran 37/100)
رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِیْ فَرْدًا وَّاَنْتَ خَیْرُالْوٰرِثِیْنَ 
اے میرے پروردگار مجھے تنہا نہ چھوڑ تو سب سے بہتر وارث ہے 
"O My Lord! Leave me not single (childless), though You are the Best of the inheritors." (Quran 21/89)
رَبِّ ھَبْ  لِیْ مِنْ لَّدُنْکَ ذُرِّیَّۃً طَیِّبَۃً ج اِنَّکَ سَمِیْعٌ  الدُّعَآءِ 
اے میرے پروردگار مجھے اپنے پاس سے پاکیزہ اولاد عطا فرما بے شک تو دعا کا سننے والا ہے 
“O my Lord! Grant me from You, a good offspring. You are indeed the All-Hearer of invocation.” (Quran 3/38)
فَہَبْ لِیْ مِنْ لَّدُنْکَ وَلِیًّا لا یَّرِثُنِیْ 
پس تو مجھے اپنے پاس سے وارث عطا فرما جو میر ا وارث ہو 
“So give me from Yourself an heir, Who shall inherit me” (Quran 19/5,6)
رَبَّنَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَیْنِ لَکَ وَمِنْ ذُرِّیَّتِنَآ اُمَّۃً مُّسْلِمَۃً لَّکَ 
اے ہمارے رب ہم دونوں کو اپنا فرما نبردار بنا اور ہماری نسل میں سے اٹھا ایک امت جو اطاعت گزار ہو تیری
“Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You” (Quran 2/128)


In the end add this Arabic dua also.
یَا اَللّٰہُ اَنْتَ الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِیءُ الْمُصَوِّرُ لَکَ الْاَسْمَآءُ الْحُسْنٰی رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَآءِ
یا اللہ آپ پیدا کرنے والے ہر چیز کو ایجاد کرنے والے صورت بنانے والے ہیں اور آپکے نہایت اچھے نام ہیں اے ہمارے رب میری دعا قبول فرما آمین

I invite you to Islam

I invite you to Islam –The Right Path
 Why don’t you think seriously for your own good, become a MUSLIM
Al-Mighty Allah describes Paradise in the Qur'an, Choose your path-"Verily, the dwellers of Paradise that Day, will be busy in joyful things. They and their wives will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones. They will have therein fruits (of all kinds), and they shall have whatever they desire (They shall be given whatever they ask for). (It will be said to them): "Salamun" (Peace be on you), a Word from the Lord, Most Merciful." 

       Al-Mighty Allah describes Paradise in the Qur'an, "Verily, the dwellers of Paradise that Day, will be busy in joyful things. They and their wives will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones. They will have therein fruits (of all kinds), and they shall have whatever they desire (They shall be given whatever they ask for). (It will be said to them): "Salamun" (Peace be on you), a Word from the Lord, Most Merciful."  [ Qur’an chapter 36/55-58]

       Further the Qur'an describes, "No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy, as a reward for what they used to do." (Quran Surah As-Sajda 32/17)

         Heaven as a beautiful and wonderful place that awaits those who believe in Allah and do righteous good deeds, where every wish is fulfilled. Every kind of beauty and blessing exist in Paradise and will be revealed with a perfection never seen or known before. There would be many types of delights which people enjoy therein. The highest blessings is Allah’s good pleasure.Allah will say: “This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) – they shall abide therein forever. Allah is pleased with them and they with Him. That is the great success (Paradise) (Quran Chapter 5/119)

     Allah has warned us in His Book about the Hellfire and has informed us about the different types of punishments it will have. Hell is a place of intense heat and suffering, some people will be beaten on head with hammers, for some boiling water poured on head, blood and puss is given to drink, hot wind, some people will be surrounded in very huge fire flames, some are in dirty smell, and black smoke. There are people who are blind, deaf and dumb, they would be dragged on face, upside down. People are burned, dragged along in chains, and constantly tormented.
     
(Oh! Allah save us from Hellfire and all kinds of punishments of Hell, and put us in Heaven. AAMEEN) 

Choose your path- 1) The Qur’an says, “The truth is from your Lord”. Then whosoever wills, let him believe; and whosoever wills, let him disbelieve. Verily, We have prepared for the polytheists and wrong -doers, a Fire whose walls will be surrounding them. And if they ask for help, they will be granted water like “boiling oil” that will burn their (mouths) faces. Terrible is the drink and an evil resting place. (Qur’an Surah 18/29)

2) “And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger - He will admit him to gardens beneath which rivers flow; but whoever turns away - He will punish him with a painful punishment”.
(Surah Al-Fat-h 48/17)

Those who reject Allah-
1) The Qur'an says, “Those who reject faith, and die rejecting, on them is Allah's curse, and the curse of the angels, and of all mankind. They will abide therein [Hell]. Their penalty will not be lightened, nor will respite be their lot”
(Quran Chapter 2/161–162) 


2)  “Surely, those who reject Faith (disbelieve in Allah and in Muhammad (peace be on him) as being Allah's Messenger and in all that which he has brought from Allah, neither their properties, nor their offspring will avail them aught against Allah. They are the dwellers of the Fire, therein they will abide”
(Aal-e-Imran, Chapter 3/116)

3) “Those who deny the Book (this Qur'an), and that with which We sent Our Messengers (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone sincerely, and to reject all false deities and to confess resurrection after the death for recompense) they will come to know (when they will be cast into the Fire of Hell). When iron collars will be rounded over their necks, and the chains, they shall be dragged along. In the boiling water, then they will be burned in the fire” (Quran Ghafir 40/70-72) 

                     I invite you to Islam –The Right Path
 Why don’t you think seriously for your own good, become a MUSLIM-

 I pray to the Most Gracious and Most Merciful Allah to guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace, not the way of those who earned Your Anger. (AAMEEN)

All-Mighty Allah is Most Merciful


Your Lord is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful


     We read in Holy Quran the Divine names and attributes of Allah.
For details on this topic contact me- mirzaehtesham1950(at)gmail.com
Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) pbuh. said: “Allah the Most High, has ninety-nine names……...”(Muslim .35#6475). The most beautiful names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them, the explanation of only one of  the 99 names is enlightened here. Allah is Most Merciful


Allah speaks of His Mercy in numerous places in the Quran.
1) “My Mercy embraces all things” [Quran 7/156]
2) "Say (O Muhammad-pbuh) To whom belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth?" Say: "To Allah. He has prescribed Mercy for Himself.” [Quran 6/12]
3) “When those who believe in Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) come to you, say: "Salamun 'Alaikum" (peace be on you); your Lord has written (prescribed) Mercy for Himself, so that if any of you does evil in ignorance, and thereafter repents and does righteous good deeds (by obeying Allah), then surely, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”  [Quran 6/54]
4) Quran has 114 Chapters you will find the phrase
“ In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful”
5) “Say (O Muhammad-pbh)"Invoke Allah or invoke the Most Gracious (Allah), by whatever name you invoke Him (it is the same), for to Him belong the Best Names.” [Quran 17/110 ]
6) “Say: "O 'Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: verily, Allah forgives all sins. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [Quran 39/53]
7)      “And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace (safety," i.e., words free from fault or evil.)”  [Quran Surah Al-Furqan 25/63]
8)  "Do not commit mischief on the earth after it has been set in order, and call on Him (Allah in prayer) with fear and hope (longing desire) : “for the Mercy of Allah is always near to those who do good.”
  [Quran Surah Al-A'raf 7/56]
9) “And whoever does evil or wrongs himself but afterwards seeks Allah's Forgiveness, he will find Allah Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [Quran 4/110]
           The mercy of Allah manifests itself in His overlooking the sins of the sinner when he unknowingly commits the sin then repents. Allah’s mercy is even beyond that; Allah changes the sins of the sinner, after his sincere repentance followed by righteous deeds, to good deeds (hasanat). Allah says
10) “Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds; for those, Allah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” [Quran 25/70]
          Prophet Muhammed (Peace Be Upon Him -pbuh) made utmost effort to clarify the reality of the Mercy of Allah (S.W.T.) with His servants so that Muslims will be merciful among one another and be merciful with others, and know that this mercy is the way to gain the mercy of Allah.
1) Narrated Abu Huraira (Radhi-Allah-hu 'anhu):The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "When Allah completed the creation, He wrote in His Book which is with Him on His Throne, "My Mercy overpowers My Anger." [Sahih Bukhari - Book: 54. Beginning of Creation, Hadith:416] 
99 parts of Mercy Allah kept with Him and sent down its only 1 part on the earth
2) Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, Allah divided Mercy into one-hundred parts and He kept its ninety-nine parts with Him and sent down its one part on the earth, and because of that, its one single part, His creations are Merciful to each other, so that even the mare lifts up its hoofs away from its baby animal, lest it should trample on it." 
[Bukhari Book 8 Volume 73 Hadith 29]
Disbelievers have absolutely no hope of Allah’s Mercy
 1) "O my sons! Go you and enquire about Yusuf (Joseph) and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah's Mercy. Certainly no one despairs of Allah's Mercy, except the people who disbelieve."         [Quran 12/87]

Absolutely unforgivable Sin is SHIRK

  
Absolutely unforgivable Sin is  “Shirk”
                                                Totally unacceptable act is Shirk
                                         False deities have no power to harm or benefit

The term Shirk means associating partners with Allah, and the related term mushrik is applied to someone guilty of such polytheistic association. Ash-Shirk ul-Akbar takes one outside the fold of Islam. The opposite of Tawhid (doctrine of Oneness of God) is expressed by the Arabic term Shirk (polytheism) derived from the root Sh-r-k which conveys the notion of “sharing” or “partnerships.” The word Sharik (plural shurakaa) means “partner” or “associate.” It encompasses far more than the more blatant (obvious) forms of idolatry and denial of Allah’s Unity. Some examples of Shirk ad Du’a (invoking or supplicating to a false deity besides Allah) are given. False deities have no power, Allah has all powers.
1)   Say( O Mohammed to mankind) How do you worship besides Allah something which has no power either to harm or benefit you”,
 
(Quran Al-Maidah 5/76)

2
) And do not invoke besides Allah that which neither benefits you nor harms you, for if you did, then indeed you would be of the wrongdoers.'  (Quran Yunus 10/106)

3)  
And if Allah should touch you with adversity (hardship), there is no remover of it except Him. And if He touches you with good – then He is over all things competent. (Quran Al-Anam 6/17)

4)  Say, "Shall we invoke instead of Allah that which neither benefits us nor harms us and be turned back on our heels after Allah has guided us?  ( Quran Al-Anam 6/71)

False deities have no power to harm or benefit

5) Say, "Then who could prevent Allah at all if He intended for you harm or intended for you benefit? (Quran Al-Fath 48/11) 

6)  
Say, "I possess not for myself any harm or benefit except what Allah should will.  (Quran Yunus 10/49)
7) Say, "I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm, except what Allah has willed. (Quran Al-Araf 7/188)    

8)
Say, "Have you then taken besides Him allies not possessing [even] for themselves any benefit or any harm?" (Quran Ar-Rad 13/16)

9)
  He(Ibrahim) said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate? Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?" (Quran Ash-Shuaraa 26/72-73)
 
10) Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me? (Quran Yasin-36/23)  
 
11) Did they not see that it could not return to them any speech [i.e., response] and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit?  (Quran Ta-Ha - 20/89)

12)
Say, "Invoke those you have claimed [as gods] besides Him, for they do not possess the [ability for] removal of adversity from you or [for its] transfer [to someone else]."
(Quran Al-Israa / Bani Israeel 17/56)
13) Allah says “That is only Satan who frightens [you] (to fear his Awliyaa) his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are [indeed] believers” (Quran Al-i-Imran 3/175)  

14) 
Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." (Quran Al-Jin  72/21)
  15)   But they have taken besides Him gods which create nothing, while they are created, and possess not for themselves any harm or benefit and possess not [power to cause] death or life or resurrection.  (Quran Al-Furqan 25/3)

16)  
Narrated Abdullah (RA)The Prophet (s.a.w.) said one statement and I said another. The Prophet said "Whoever dies while still invoking anything other than Allah as a rival to Allah, will enter Hell (Fire)." And I said, "Whoever dies without invoking anything as a rival to Allah, will enter Paradise."(Hadith Bukhari 6/24)
