Khalil al-Rahman Dua | Placing hope on Allah

In one of his tafsir lessons, Sheikh ‘Abd al-Razzaq al-Badr said:

It is not possible for you to make any of your offspring upright unless Allah makes him upright for you.

No matter how hard you work to instill good manners in him, raise him right, make him receptive to the truth, and make him stick to upright behavior, it is not possible for him to be in good standing and upright unless Allah makes him upright for you.

For Allah is the guide. Allah is the One who gives success.

That is why a Muslim ought to give importance to placing his hopes on Allah, asking Allah, and his own reliance on Allah in making his offspring upright.

That is why Khalil al-Rahman – Ibrahim عليه  السلام – said in his supplication:

رَبَّنَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مُسْلِمَيْنِ لَكَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِنَا أُمَّةً مُّسْلِمَةً لَّكَ

O our Lord, and make us both those who submit to you, and make out of our offspring a nation that submits to you 

[2:128]
