![]() May Allah allow us to reap the blessings and rewards of parenthood, may He make our children the coolness of our eyes and may He reward every person who has lost a child or prays to be blessed with children tenfold for their patience and perseverance. One of the rights of children, is that their parents teach them the way of Islam and pray for them to always be on the straight path. While Allah rewards us as parents for our hardships and sacrifices, he has emphasised the rights of children so it is important that we honour our children in a way pleasing to Allah. So below is a list of duaas that you can make for your children. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: “There are three prayers that will undoubtedly be answered: the prayer of one who has been wronged the prayer of the traveller and the prayer of a father concerning his child.” (Al-Tirmidhi) Then when she delivered her (child), she said: “O my Lord! I have delivered a female child,” – and Allah knew better what she delivered, – “And the male is not like the female, and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge with You (Allah) for her and for her offspring from Shaitan, the outcast.” (Qur’an 3:36) The dua of the mother of Maryam (AS) was so profound, that she was blessed with a pious child – the only woman to be mentioned by name in the Quran. ![]() Prophet Luqman Al Hakeem (the wise) spoke words of such importance to his son that Allah revealed them as a Surah in the Quran. Likewise, when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s son passed away in infancy, he called his tears of sorrow over him “a mercy”. He set the precedent for grief and beautiful patience for generations to come, and showed that your immense love for your children and the intensity of your grief for them is not a reflection of weak faith. He cried over his son so much that he became blind from the sorrow. When Prophet Yusuf (AS) was believed to be dead, his father, Prophet Yaqub (AS), grieved openly for him for a long time. ![]() ![]() It was because of this immense trust that Allah raised her ranks and the ranks of her son in this world and the hereafter, He returned Musa (AS) to her and she went on to become the mother of not one, but two Prophets. ![]() She was terrified, having just made a great sacrifice, but she placed her trust in Allah, believing that He would protect her son. To save Prophet Musa (AS) from Firaon, his mother placed him in a basket and watched him float away. ![]()
