Creator Verses

For your spouse and children

Our Lord, grant us comfort in our families

رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَٰجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَٱجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a'yunin waj'alna lil-muttaqina imama

Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us a leader [i.e., example] for the righteous.

The phrase translated "comfort to our eyes", qurrata a'yun, literally means "coolness of the eyes". Arabic scholars explain it in two ways: a cool eye was a sign of joy, or an eye at rest because it has found what it was looking for.
