O Allah, aid them in repentance and steadfastness, and grant them the resolve to abandon evil.
Allahumma a'in-hum 'ala at-tawbati wath-thabat warzuq-hum al-'azeemata 'ala tarkis-soo'.
When to Read
This dua can be recited at any time, especially during your own personal prayers (Salah), after finishing your prayers, or during times when you make extra supplications (like in the last third of the night). It's particularly poignant when you notice a parent struggling with a habit you wish they could overcome, or simply as a consistent part of your supplications for their well-being.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincerity and focus. Ensure your intention is purely for the well-being of your parents and that Allah guides them to better habits. You can place your hand on your heart or face the Qiblah while making dua. It's beneficial to also reflect on the specific habit and ask Allah to replace it with a positive one.
Virtues & Benefits
Making dua for others, especially parents, is a highly recommended act of worship. It shows filial piety and kindness. Allah (SWT) says: 'And your Lord has decreed that you not associate with Me anything, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff" and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word. And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy on them even as they cared for me when I was young."' (Ar-Ra'd 13:23-24). By asking Allah to help your parents break bad habits, you are essentially asking for their purification, their spiritual upliftment, and their protection from harm, which are all acts that please Allah.
