Duas for Children

Bismillāh, Allāhumma jannibnā sh-shayṭān, wa jannibi sh-shayṭāna mā razaqtanā.

In the name of Allah. O Allah, keep Satan away from us and keep Satan away from what You provide us.

Uʿīdhukumā bi kalimāti Allāhi at-tāmmah, min kulli shayṭānin wa hāmmah, wa min kulli ʿaynin lāmmah.

I seek protection for you both in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and poisonous creature, and from every harmful eye.

My Lord, inspire me to be grateful for Your favor which You bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do righteous deeds that please You. Reform my offspring for me. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed I am of the Muslims.

Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a‘yunin waj‘alna lil-muttaqina imama

Our Lord, grant us comfort in our spouses and children, and make us leaders for the God-fearing.

Rabbanā wasiʿta kulla shay’i-r-raḥmata-w-wa ʿilmā, fa-ghfir lil-ladhīna tābū wa-t-tabaʿū sabīlaka wa qihim ʿadhābal-jaḥīm. Rabbanā wa adkhil-hum jannāti ʿadnini-l-latī wa-ʿadtahum wa man ṣalaḥa min ābā’ihim wa azwājihim wa dhurriy-yātihim, innaka Antal-ʿAzīzu-l-Ḥakīm. Wa qihimu-s-sayyi’āt, wa man taqi-s-sayyi’āti yawma’idhin fa-qad raḥimtah, wa dhālika huwal-fawzul-ʿAẓīm.

Our Lord, You have encompassed all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who have repented and followed Your path, and protect them from the punishment of Hell-fire. Our Lord, admit them to the eternal gardens of Paradise which You have promised them, along with whoever was righteous from their fathers, their spouses and their children. Indeed, You, and only You, are the All-Mighty and All-Wise. Protect them from all evil deeds. You will have bestowed Your mercy on those You protect from the evil deeds on that Day: that is the greatest achievement indeed.

Rabbi hab lī minaṣ-ṣāliḥīn.

My Lord, grant me from among the righteous.
