When to Read

This is the foundational prayer of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him). We can make this dua anytime, but it's particularly poignant when raising our children. Recite it during your regular prayers, after prayers, during the night, or any time you make personal supplication. Imagine standing with Prophet Ibrahim, looking at your children, and making this heartfelt plea to Allah.

How to Read

Recite this powerful ayah with sincerity and focus, visualizing your children growing into steadfast Muslims who love and practice the Sunnah. You can raise your hands in supplication as Prophet Ibrahim did. Make it a habit, and teach your children to make similar du'as for themselves and their future families.

Virtues & Benefits

Allah Himself has taught us this dua through the example of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), a true leader and a friend of Allah. Making this dua reflects our deep desire for our children to be among those who are pleasing to Allah. Righteous children are a source of continuous reward for parents, even after they have passed away, as they continue to make du'a for them and embody the values they were taught. Itโ€™s a profound investment in their akhirah and ours.
