Protect Your Children: Essential Du'a for Parents

The Importance of Reciting Du'a for Children's Protection: A Parental Responsibility

A Parent who does not read and blow on their children for protection from the evil eye and all other harm is really failing in their responsibility as a parent and neglecting the rights of their kids.

What is the appropriate dua to recite ?

The Du ‘ā that Ibrāhim (a.s) made for his two children and the Prophet (ṣallAllāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would make for his grand children:

أَعُوذُ ‌بِكَلِمَاتِ ‌اللَّهِ ‌التَّامَّةِ، مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ .

‘I seek refuge for you two with Allah’s perfect words from every Shaytaan (devil) and poisonous creature and every evil eye.’

  (صحيح البخاري – 4 / 386)

—Mufti Ismail Moosa
