بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
A sign of faith of the believer is
that they pray and they establish prayer. Establishing the prayer means
that we take care of it and we strive to perform it outwardly in
accordance to the Prophetic teachings, and inwardly with sincerity. We
are praying truly for Allah and with presence of heart or striving for presence with Allah.
Prayer,
if everything else is truly good in our lives and spiritual lives,
spills over as serenity within our prayers. If we are slipping up in
other areas you will be able to tell in your prayers. That's why we make
du'a forourselves and for our children and offspring.
The du'a should be a navigational aid how am I doing with my children in inculcating concerned for good for them so that they seek to establish prayer.
We may struggle in our lives but as long as we are seeking to establish our prayer and striving to do so, we are of those who are, by the grace of Allah, establising the prayer, and if you have genuinely prayed for your children and offspring, the Divine response will be manifested in their lives in ways you can never imagine and, at the very least, you have the reward of your care and concern as eternal reward with Allah.
Also know that if you find it distressful in
your family and in your children, a person is with those they love. You
may not see it in this life with them but you'll find that as eternal
reward and eternal company in the next life. So make this supplication
for yourself and your children with complete certitude in the promise of
Allah.
رَبِّ ٱجْعَلْنِى مُقِيمَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِى ۚ رَبَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَآءِ
My
Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many] from my descendants.
Our Lord, and accept my supplication. [Quran, Ibrahim 14:40]
Aameen.
