10 Duas to Teach Your Kids at Home
Following are the 10 dua’s to teach your kids at home.
Importance of dua’s
Dua’s are an essential part of our life. We are Muslims, and we believe in the acceptance of dua’s. In the Quran, we see how the beloved Prophets and Apostles of Allah are supplicated in their lives. They used to seek help from Allah through dua’s. Allah Almighty, in return, answered them and helped them through every thick and thin of life. That’s why Hazrat Muhammad SAW taught his Umamah some important dua’s and prompted his followers to teach them to the kids.
The reason behind our article was many people asked in our last session to compile an article on the best 10 dua’s to teach kids at home. So, please read the article until the end and teach it to your kids.
1) Dua when children wake up
There are thousands of dua’s, and it will be hard for you to teach every dua to your kids. Therefore, you need to start from the daily routine dua’s. The first dua you need to teach your kids is when they wake up, they should recite the following dua;
“Alhamdu lillahi lasi ahyana ba’da amatana wa elahin nushor”.

Praise is Allah Who gives us life after He has caused us to die and to Him is the return.”
