Lesson 1 · A dua that was answered · ages 5-7
The good news of a patient son
Ibrahim asked Allah for a righteous child, and Allah gave him good news of a patient boy.
- He asked Allah
Ibrahim said: My Lord, grant me a child from among the righteous.
- Allah answered
The next ayah says Allah gave him good news of a forbearing boy — a patient one.
- Later, another son
Allah also gave him good news of Ishaq, a prophet from among the righteous.
- Children are a gift, not a right
Both sons came as an answer to dua, not by anyone's plan.
- Ask for good, not just for things
Notice what Ibrahim asked for: not simply a child, but a righteous one.
رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
Rabbi hab lee minas saaliheen
“My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous."”
فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍۢ
Fabashsharnaahu bighulaamin haleem
“So We gave him good tidings of a forbearing boy.”
وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
Wa bashsharnaahu bi Ishaaqa Nabiyayam minas saaliheen
“And We gave him good tidings of Isaac, a prophet from among the righteous.”
