فَخَرَجَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ مِنَ ٱلْمِحْرَابِ فَأَوْحَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِمْ أَن سَبِّحُوا۟ بُكْرَةًۭ وَعَشِيًّۭا ١١ So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [Allāh] in the morning and afternoon. What was the objective of Prophet Zakariyyah when he asked Allaah for a child? It was never about status, worldly success, or simply having children for the sake of family legacy. His concern was far greater: **Who will carry the Deen after me? Who will continue guiding the people to the worship of Allaah alone?** This is a powerful reminder for every Muslim parent—and every Muslim planning to become one. Today, many of us are obsessed with raising children to become doctors, engineers, and professionals. While there is nothing wrong with worldly success, we must ask ourselves: **What is our vision for our children in relation to the Ummah?** Who will treat the spiritual diseases of the Muslims? Who will call people back to Tawheed? Who will combat shirk, bid’ah, and misguidance with knowledge and wisdom? Who will carry the da’wah? The stories in the Qur’an are not mere stories—they are lessons meant to reshape our priorities, intentions, and aspirations. This reminder calls us to think deeper about marriage, parenting, and legacy: * What kind of spouse should you choose? * What kind of home are you building? * What kind of children are you raising? May Allaah bless us with righteous offspring who will be a means of benefit to Islaam and the Muslims.
