Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a‘yunin waj‘alna lil-muttaqina imama.
Our Lord, make our spouses and descendants a joy to our eyes, and make us an example for those who are mindful of You.
Rabbi hab li mil-ladunka dhurriyyatan tayyibah. Innaka sami‘ud-du‘a.
My Lord, give me good offspring from Yourself. You hear supplication.
A‘udhu bikalimatillahit-tammati min kulli shaytanin wa hammatin, wa min kulli ‘aynin lammah.
I seek protection in Allah’s perfect words from every devil, every harmful creature, and every harmful eye.
Rabbana waj‘alna muslimayni laka wa min dhurriyyatina ummatan muslimatan laka wa arina manasikana wa tub ‘alayna innaka antat-Tawwabur-Rahim.
Our Lord, make us both submit to You, and from our descendants a community that submits to You. Show us our rites and turn to us in mercy. You are the Accepter of repentance, the Giver of Mercy.
Rabbij‘alni muqimas-salati wa min dhurriyyati Rabbana wa taqabbal du‘a’.
My Lord, make me one who establishes prayer, and likewise my descendants. Our Lord, accept my supplication.
Family prayers in the Quran
Quran 25:74 connects spouses and descendants with righteousness. 14:40 records Ibrahim’s request concerning prayer, while 3:38 belongs to Zakariyya’s request for offspring.
These are distinct passages with different speakers and settings. Their inclusion in a family collection does not turn every verse into a formula for pregnancy, examinations or a specific behaviour problem.
The protection report
Sahih al-Bukhari 3371 describes protection sought for al-Hasan and al-Husayn. The Arabic on the card follows its particular quotation; changing a grammatical form for one child or several children needs accurate teaching.
A protective prayer does not diagnose a child’s illness or identify someone as the cause of harm. Continue appropriate health, educational and safeguarding support.
Helping children learn
Explain a short meaning, then learn a phrase together at a comfortable pace. Make room for questions and avoid turning imperfect pronunciation into shame or fear.
Prayer for a child should accompany attention to their needs and respectful conduct. Children do not owe adults a particular outcome because a prayer has been made for them.
Common questions
Is every card for reciting directly over a child? No; some are general family requests. Will a prayer guarantee a child’s choices? This page makes no such promise. Should I change the Arabic endings? Learn a correctly sourced or taught adaptation. What about a child with learning or health needs? Dua can accompany appropriate professional support, rather than replace it.
