โœฆ

O Allah, guide my child, direct him/her, grant him/her well-being, guide him/her, open for him/her the doors of Your mercy, forgive him/her, provide him/her with lawful sustenance, protect him/her, draw him/her near to Your obedience, and do not let his/her heart deviate after You have guided it. Grant him/her mercy from You, indeed You are the Bestower.

Allahumma ihdi waladi, wa arshidhu, wa 'aafihi, wahdih, waftah lahu abwaba rahmatik, waghfir lah, warzuqhul halala, wattaqih, wa qarriribhu ila 'amalik, wa la tuzigh qalbahu ba'da idh hadaytah, wa hab lah min ladunka rahmatan innaka antal Wahhab.

When to Read

This dua is particularly vital during the tumultuous years of adolescence, a period marked by significant physical, emotional, and social changes. Recite it regularly, especially during the times when duas are more likely to be answered, such as after each prayer, during the last third of the night, between the Adhan and Iqamah, and on Fridays.

How to Read

Recite this dua with sincere intention and heartfelt conviction, visualizing your child growing into a righteous and guided individual. You can recite it privately, or perhaps gently whisper it to your child while they are asleep, or even say it together during moments of calm reflection. The key is sincerity and reliance on Allah (SWT).

Virtues & Benefits

Adolescence is a critical stage where children form their identities and make choices that can shape their future. By making this dua, you are actively seeking Allah's protection and guidance for your child, asking Him to safeguard them from misguidance, protect their heart, and bless them with righteous actions and provision. It's a powerful way to fulfill your role as a parent by entrusting your child's well-being to the Most Merciful.

Source & Authentication

The Quranic verse 'Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided them and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower' (Surah Al-Imran, Ayah 8) encapsulates the essence of seeking Allah's steadfast guidance. The Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ also frequently supplicated for his family and companions, teaching us the importance of seeking Allah's help in all matters, including the upbringing of our children.
