Pray that your wife and children become your dear one

and

the joy of your eyes

“And they who say: O' our Lord! Grant us in our wives and our offspring the joy of our eyes.” (The holy Quran 25:74)

Prayers, being the higher schools of spiritual training,  if recited under correct and specific circumstances will have a great outcome. Having a pious and competent wife is amongst the good fortunes of a man. A spouse who is religious, good tempered, and fond of life and the household members and familiar with her duties and responsibilities; a woman who makes her husband happy and joyful by seeing her and obeys his directives. During his absence, she is careful of her chastity and protects his wealth.[1]

The prophet (p.b.u.h.) says: “A righteous child is a bundle of flowers divided by God between his servants”[2]. In another narration Imam al-Sadiq (p.b.u.h.) says: “the inheritance of the Almighty for His believing servant is a pious child who asks forgiveness for him.”[3]

In has been narrated from the holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.): “the Prophet Jesus, the son of Mary (p.b.u.h.) was passing from a grave whose owner was being tortured. The next year, he passed the save grave and saw that the owner of the grave was being punished no more. He asked, “O' Allah! What is the story (of this person)?” The Almighty replied, “O' high soul, a pious and competent child of his grew up and built a road and took the guardianship of an orphan. Because of these good deeds of his son, I forgave him”.[4]
