Ibrahim 14:37

Word by word

رَّبَّنَآ إِنِّىٓ أَسْكَنتُ مِن ذُرِّيَّتِى بِوَادٍ غَيْرِ ذِى زَرْعٍ عِندَ بَيْتِكَ ٱلْمُحَرَّمِ رَبَّنَا لِيُقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَٱجْعَلْ أَفْـِٔدَةً مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ تَهْوِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْ وَٱرْزُقْهُم مِّنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْكُرُونَ

Our Lord, I have settled some of my descendants in an uncultivated valley near Your sacred House, our Lord, that they may establish prayer. So make hearts among the people incline toward them and provide for them from the fruits that they might be grateful.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

ربنا إني أسكنت من ذريتي بوادٍ ليس فيه زرع ولا ماء بجوار بيتك المحرم، ربنا إنني فعلت ذلك بأمرك; لكي يؤدوا الصلاة بحدودها، فاجعل قلوب بعض خلقك تَنزع إليهم وتحنُّ، وارزقهم في هذا المكان من أنواع الثمار; لكي يشكروا لك على عظيم نعمك. فاستجاب الله دعاءه.
