O Allah, protect my child and save them from the evil of this world and the Hereafter. Make them safe and victorious in every movement and stillness, and make them among Your righteous servants.

Allahumma ihfazh waladi wa qihim sharra ad-dunya wal-akhirah, waj'alhum salimeen ghanimeen fi kulli harakatin wa sakanah, waj'alhum min 'ibadikas-salihin.

When to Read

This dua is especially relevant when traveling for Hajj or Umrah with children, or when entrusting children to the care of others during these sacred journeys. Recite it before departure, during the journey, and throughout your stay in the holy lands, focusing on the specific fears or concerns you might have for their safety and well-being amidst the crowds and spiritual intensity of Hajj and Umrah.

How to Read

Recite with sincere intention and full focus, making heartfelt supplication to Allah (SWT). It is recommended to raise your hands slightly in supplication as you make this dua. Focus on the meaning of the words, visualizing your children safe and guided. This dua can be made individually or collectively by family members traveling together.

Virtues & Benefits

Making dua for one's children is a highly recommended act in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'Three supplications are answered without doubt: the supplication of the oppressed, the supplication of the traveler, and the supplication of a parent for their child.' (Sunan Ibn Majah 3862 - Hasan). During Hajj and Umrah, the spiritual atmosphere is amplified, making supplications potentially more potent. By reciting this dua, you are entrusting your children's safety to the Almighty, seeking His protection from any physical harm, spiritual pitfalls, or emotional distress that might arise during the immense spiritual undertaking of pilgrimage.
