Doa of a Parent

Doa of a Parent:

In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful

All praises are for Allah SWT, the most Compassionate, the most Forgiving.

Salutations and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad SAW, his family and companions.

Oh Allah, I submit myself to You.

I realize that parenting a child is a very difficult task and I turn to You in humility for Your help.

I implore You for Your wisdom and guidance.

Oh Allah, I know that our children are an amaanat from You, to care for and to raise in a manner that is pleasing to You.

Ya Allah Ya نصير help me do that in the best way.

Ya Allah Ya عليم The Most Knowledgable Ya Wadud The Most Loving, teach me how to love in a way that You would have me love.

Ya Allah Ya Rahim Ya Jabbar Ya Qawwiy Ya Mateen help me where I need to be healed, improved, nurtured, and made whole.

Ya Allah Ya Hadi help me walk in righteousness and integrity so that You may always be pleased with me.

Allow me to be a God-fearing role model with all the communication, teaching, and nurturing skills that I may need.

Oh Allah, You know what our children need. Help and guide us in praying for our children.

Ya Allah Ya Hafidz, Ya Maula, Ya Wakeel, put a hedge of safety around our children. Protect their bodies, minds, and emotions from any kind of evil and harm.

Ya Allah Ya Hafidz, Ya Maula, Ya Wakeel, I pray that You protect them from accidents, diseases, injuries, and any other physical, mental, or emotional afflictions and abuse.

Oh Allah, I pray that You keep our children free from any addictions and vices.

Draw them close to You for protection from every ill and evil influence of our society, whether it’s apparent to us or not.

Ya Allah Ya Fattah, Ya Qarib, grant them the best of company as their friends — people who will inspire them to love and worship and obey You.

Ya Allah Ya Hadi, Ya Quddus, grant our children hidaaya and a heart that loves to obey You.

Ya Allah Ya Noor shine Your light on any secret or unseen rebellion in their hearts and destroy it before it takes root.

Ya Allah Ya Hadi, guide them away from any pride, selfishness, jealousy, hypocrisy, malice, and greed and make them uncomfortable with sins.

Ya Allah Ya Wadud Ya Rahim penetrate their hearts with Your love and reverence today and always.

Ya Allah Ya Baseer  Allah, make apparent to them the truth in any situation and let them not be misled by falsehood.

Ya Allah Ya Fattah Ya Qawwiy Ya Mateen Allah, grant our children the ability to make clear decisions and let them always be attracted to good things that are pure, noble, true, and just.

Ya Allah Ya Hadi, guide them in making choices that please You.

Ya Allah Ya Quddus, help them to taste the sweetness of walking with a humble spirit in obedience and submission to You.

Ya Allah Ya عليم Ya Hakeem, grant them the wisdom to choose their words carefully and bless them with a generous and caring spirit.

Oh Allah, I pray that they never stray from the path of deen and that You give them a future filled with Your best promises.

Ya Allah Ya Quddus, always keep our children cleansed and pure from evil and shaytaan.

Ya Allah Ya Qawwiy Ya Mateen Ya Kareem Ya Noor Ya Hadi, keep them steadfast in establishing Salaah and help them revere the Glorious Quran as Your Word and Law and to read it with understanding daily. Let it be their source of light and guidance.

Ya Allah Ya Wadud Allah, let our daughters love wearing hijab and our sons the dress of a humble Muslim.

Let their dress be a representation of their Imaan and of their love and respect for Your commands.

Lead them to a position where they rely truly on Your power alone and fear You in the open and in secret.

Ya Allah Ya Qawwiyy Ya Mateen, make them so strong in their deen that they never encounter doubt.

Ya Allah Ya Maula Ya Wakeel, do not allow any negative attitudes in the place of our children’s lives.

Ya Allah Ya Hadi, guide our children in honouring and obeying You, Your Rasool (peace be upon him), and us as parents (when we are commanding that which is pleasing to You).

Make them the coolness of our eyes.

Ya Allah Ya Wadud Ya Rahim, fill our children with compassion and caring that will overflow to each member of our family.

Oh Allah, grant them piety.

Ya Allah Ya Wadud, help them love, value, appreciate, and respect one another with good communication between them always.

Oh Allah, drive out any division between our children and bring them healing.

I pray there be no strain, breach, misunderstanding, arguing, fighting, or severing of ties.

Ya Allah Ya Wadud Ya Wahhab Ya Hakeem, allow them to one day marry righteous, God-fearing, kind, hard-working, intelligent, beautiful, healthy spouses who get along with and respect and love (and genuinely enjoy) every member of our family and who lead our children (i.e. their spouses) even closer to You and Jannatul Firdaus.

Ya Allah Ya Wahhab Ya Wadud, please grant me the company of pious friends, relatives, extended community members, and teachers who will be inspirational role models for my children and will help me raise them to be the best of believers.

Oh Allah, please don’t let me become self-satisfied and arrogant in my parenting, but please don’t humble me or shame me through my children’s misdeeds either. Please let me always give credit for their good character to You and please don’t ever let me stop praying for them.

Ya Allah Ya Qadir, please don’t let my children be “late” in meeting any of life’s milestones that are expected of them.

Ya  Allah Ya Hafidz, protect my children from debt. Make them givers and not takers.

Ya Allah Ya Wahhab, grant my children noble professions with halal incomes that give them respect and dignity in Your Eyes and in the eyes of their fellow human beings.

Oh Allah, grant them worldly comfort so that my children can come to You through the Door of Gratitude and so that they are not forced to come to You through the Door of Patience. Please let them always be grateful…and patient.

Oh Allah, I pray for a close, loving, happy and fulfilling relationship with them for all the days of our lives and to be reunited with them in Jannatul Firdaus

اللهم امين
