I still remember the first time a close friend of mine called me and said – “Bhai, I have become a father!” Dua for new parents.
There was happiness in his voice as if someone has won the biggest lottery in the world. But the funny thing was that just two minutes later, a slight nervousness was also visible in the same voice. He said – “Yaar, where will I get sleep now? The child stays awake the whole night, and I am with him.”
I laughed and thought – this is the real journey. A confluence of happiness and fatigue. A combination of fear and hope. And in such times, only prayers support a person.
So, today I share some special prayers with you, which are close to the heart of every new parent. Maybe you yourself are a new parent, or someone close to you has a little guest at home. While reading these prayers, you will feel that the words coming from the heart always reach the heart.
Dua for health and well-being
The first dua of every new parent is – “O Allah, grant our child a long life, good health and safety.”
Because to be honest, every small sneeze of the child becomes a big issue for new parents. When the child coughs for the first time, it feels as if the whole world has stopped. In such a situation, this is what comes out of the heart – O Allah, put every illness of my child on me, just keep him healthy.
Dua for good morals
Health is Allah’s blessing, but what will the child be like? His heart, his character – this is the real wealth.
Parents always pray – “O Allah, make our child good, make him a person who pays the rights of others, and make him the reason for the straight path for us.”
Because real fame, degrees, money – all on one side, and a person with good morals on the other side.
Dua for peace and patience (important for parents too)
After the arrival of the child, sleep goes away, the timetable gets disturbed. Sometimes crying, sometimes mischief, sometimes tantrums. In such a situation, the biggest prayer is this – “O Allah, give us patience.”
If parents work with patience, then raising children becomes a prayer.
Dua for protection
The world is very uncertain. Parents always want this – “O Allah, protect our child from every evil, every evil eye, and every problem.”
I remember, a friend of mine used to say – “I think a moving CCTV camera should be installed with the child.”
And this is the truth – the child’s safety is the biggest concern.
Dua for a bright future
Every parent dreams that their child studies well, walks on a good path and makes a bright future.
“O Allah, make our child’s sustenance lawful, make his education easy, and make him someone who is a mercy to the people.”
This prayer is not just for the child, but for the entire community.
Dua to become the reason for happiness of parents
Every parent wishes that their new child becomes the solace of their eyes.
The dua is – “O Allah, make our child the reason for our happiness, and never let us shed tears for him.”
Because true happiness is that which comes from children. The child’s small smile, first step, first speech – all these give such peace to the heart of the parents that it is difficult to express in words.
Dua for religious understanding
Prayers are not only for worldly things. The most important prayer is that the child should have religious understanding.
“O Allah, give our child the knowledge of Quran and Sunnah, guide him on the right path, and make him a source of guidance for others.”
Because real wealth is that which is useful in the end.
Dua to make parents’ sacrifices easier
To be honest, raising children is not an easy task. Staying awake at night, managing jobs and responsibilities, sometimes sacrificing your own desires – all for the smile on that little face.
That is why this dua is necessary – “O Allah, give us strength and courage so that we can fulfill our responsibilities towards our children well.”
Dua for blessings and mercy
A child not only brings noise to the house, but also brings blessings. Suddenly the atmosphere of the house changes. Where there was silence earlier, now there is laughter and happiness.
“O Allah, increase blessings and mercy in our house with the arrival of this child.”
This is the reason why people say – a child not only fills the house, but also turns it into heaven.
Dua for love between parents and children
Relationships are strong only when there is love in them. Children grow up, they develop their own ideas, and sometimes even stubbornness.
The heart of parents always wishes – “O Allah, create love and understanding between us and our children.”
Because sometimes a misunderstanding can create a rift in the relationship, and this prayer prevents that rift from coming.
Dua for children to get good company
It is said – a person is known by his company. The same is the case with children. If one gets a company of good friends, then the person himself becomes good.
The most important prayer of parents – “O Allah, keep our child in good company and good friends.”
Because company can make or break a person’s life.
Dua to save children from misguidance
Nowadays the world is fast, internet, mobile, social media – there are distractions everywhere. In such a situation, new parents always pray – “O Allah, keep our child away from every misguidance and keep him on the right path.”
This prayer comes out from the heart even more when a person sees someone else’s child going on the wrong path. The heart trembles – “O Allah, take care of our child.”
Dua to make children successful in this world and the hereafter
Parents want their children to be successful in this world and the hereafter.
“O Allah, grant us paradise with our child in the hereafter and bless him with a halal livelihood, excellent acts, and a good position.”
This prayer is the most beautiful because it comes from the depths of the parents’ hearts – not just for this world, but forever.
Dua to make children obedient to parents
The parents’ rights always come first, regardless of the child’s age. Every parent wants their child to be obedient to them.
“O Allah, teach our child to respect us, and make him respect us.”
Because the truth is – even if a child is very capable, but does not respect his parents, he is not considered successful.
Dua for children to become worshipers and grateful
Finally, the most important Dua is this – “O Allah, make our child a worshiper of you and a thankful person for your blessings.”
Because if a person becomes grateful, life becomes easy. And worship is the real purpose.
Conclusion
The journey of new parents is not easy. There is happiness, there is fatigue. There are hopes, there is fear. But prayers are the biggest support in all this.
These prayers are not just words, but the voice of the parents’ heart. When they come from the heart, believe me, Allah definitely listens.
So if you are a new parent yourself, or someone close to you has a little guest, then definitely read these prayers and take them out from your heart.
