 “Motherhood is full of blessings and equally full of challenges.
There are ups and downs every day, but if you learn to keep your relationship
with Allah (swt) at the center of your motherhood journey,
you’ll not only thrive as a mother yourself but also pass on this reliance,
this Tawakkul and trust, to your children as well.”

 A letter to our Children
(Shaykh Yahya Ibrahim)

My children, there is only One God.

All that exists belongs to Him as He is the Originator of all.

He, subhanahu, alone is worthy of worship and all other deities are to be shunned.
Laa illah illa Allah. He, the Mighty and the Majestic, is the Creator of all things
big and small.

Out of nothing, He, subhanahu (Most Glorious), made everything. He has

knowledge of all things, not even a leaf flutters to the ground without His
foreknowledge of its descent.

He, subhanahu, knows what was, what is, what will be, and what would be even
though it will never come into reality.

He is the Provider for all. None can gain what He has not set. None can push back
what He has brought forth.

Allah is ar Rahman ar Raheem – The Merciful to All, the Especially Merciful to

those who distinguish themselves in obedience to Him.
Do not join anything with Him in that which Only He deserves.

My children, establish your prayers regularly and with humility. Nothing in your
life is more important than your Salaat. Prayer is your connection to Allah.
Insha allah, I will teach you what to say and the Quran to recite in your prayers.
I will teach you the times and the rules and regulations.
I will enforce it upon you by praying with you, and behind you as your mature.
I will remind you often of its importance and form so as to remind myself of it.
There will be times when your faith fails and your Salaat begins to slip away from
you. Return to Allah quickly and make up that which you miss.
I pray for your success in this.

My children, feel the hunger and thirst of others. Wealth, health, prosperity are all
governed by the Decree of Allah. If we are prosperous now, we thank and praise
Allah. Tomorrow may not be the same as today. If you are less fortunate in days
 to come, be patient and equally thank Allah and praise Him. Put your trust in
Allah and work hard as taught to us by His Messenger (SAW).

To avert poverty give to others from the bounties bestowed upon you by Allah,
treat your mother well, and spend your money in that which is permitted. Give
loans to those who ask, and repay quickly those you owe. All the while, be content
with the meagre and generous with your excess.

Speak well of Allah’s Grace upon you and be charitable to your neighbours,
family and community.

Ask forgiveness from those you harm and repent to Allah.

If all you have is but a single meal and your neighbour hungers, split it in half.
That, my children, is prosperity.

My children, seek knowledge and find ways to apply it. Learn something about
everything. Familiarise yourself with all the sciences that surround us in life and
the things you encounter regularly. All the while search for something you seek to
know everything about and delve deeply into it. Knowledge is a torch that
illuminates your path. It is power. Develop a love for solving problems,
unravelling mathematics and appreciating literature.
The more you read the better.

I pray that Allah grants me life to instruct you in the Quran – the Sacred Truth.
Its message is peace, its words are holy and its script is revered. I will read with
you, for many years the Quran, page by page, ayah by ayah,
and word by word, insha Allah.

It is through the Quran that you must view the world. It will lead you upon the
straight path that has been tread upon by the virtuous. The limits you set for
yourself and the boundaries I will establish are that of the Quran.

The Quran is Truth.

My children, as you mature you will come to realise that life is not easy and Allah
will test you every so often. The more you read of the life of the Messenger
Muhammed (SAW) and seek to follow his tradition of life, the more resilient you
will be in the face of adversity. Any kind of hardship you can envision and pray to
never face was shouldered by him, Salaa allahu ‘alihi was Salim, simultaneously.
 He experienced, in his 63 years of blessed life more tribulation than a cohort.
He, Salaa allahu ‘alihi was Salim, was an orphan, a widower, battle scarred, and
unjustly outcast. He outlived many of his children and buried some of his
grandchildren. His uncle, the Mercy of Allah be upon him, was martyred and his
body desecrated. He, Salaa allahu ‘alihi was Salim, was defamed, mocked, lied to
and about. He was poisoned, stoned, and had to witness his companions tortured
on account of their faith in his Message, Salaa allahu ‘alihi was Salim.

My children, know that your faith in Allah must manifest itself in your character.
Tawheed builds Character. Speak the truth always, even if against yourself. Avert
your eyes from immorality, pornography and junk TV.

Keep your chastity and guard yourself from any stage of sexual immorality. Know
that a friend is a window to your soul. Follow your heart and be true to your
firasah (instint). Be just, firm and gentle in your dealings. When you are hurt,
recover quickly and thank Allah for the difficulty that extinguishes sin. When you
are well and all seems to be at peace, be vigilant and anticipate a brewing storm.

When you err, repent to Allah and seek not to conceal it from me by lying or
deception. The greatest lessons you will learn will be through your naive
misjudgement of peoples’ character, your over confidence and because you did not
heed our advice as your parents.

When you err, we are there. As bad as you may think it is and as embarrassing as
you may find it, step up to me and I will run over to you. Know that you are
brothers and sisters to one another. If your friends slights one of you, it is as if he
slighted all of you. Together you must remain as one.

My children, if pushed, push back harder. In life you must hit back. Let no one
assume you weak on account of your spiritual inner peace.

Learn to negotiate and compromise and dialogue while attaining your objective.
Violence is not a solution. Peace does not mean fragility. Be sturdy, humble,
durable and reflective.

My children, remember that your mother carried you and sustained you in her
own body. For nine months she protected you and nurtured you. She loved you
with an amazing intensity all throughout.
 The day of your birth and all the days that followed have only increased that
love.

Your illness is our illness, your success is our success.

Know my children that I possess nothing of the dunya that is equal to you.

I love you and will continue to love you as long as I live.

Eventually, insha Allah, you will have children of your own. Make sure you write
them a letter.

I ask Allah to grant me life, health and ability to educate you as my father and
mother educated me.

I ask Allah to put love in your hearts for humanity and to use you in the assistance
of others.

I ask Allah to protect you and honour you with al-Quran.

I ask Allah to increase your rizq, lifespan and allow you happiness in this dunya
and in the akhira.

Allahumma Ameen
 9 Essential Du’as
Every Muslim Mom Should Know
(Khadija Khan - www.carenest.org)

Dua for when your heart melts at your child’s smile.

There are few things in the world sweeter than the adorable, innocent smile of
your baby. As a mom, you’re always praying for your children’s happiness anyway,
and what better way to make Dua for them than in these beautiful words.

‫أﺿْ َﺤ َﻚ اﻟﻠّ ُﻪ ِﺳ ﱠﻨ َﻚ‬

May Allah always keep you smiling. [Sahih Bukhari]

Dua for Barakah in sustenance.

Since the very first thing you’ll be feeding your newborn is milk, learn this short
Sunnah Dua to recite for Barakah every time you feed him/her.

‫اﻟﻠﱠ ُﻬ ﱠﻢ َﺑﺎر ِْك ﻟَ َﻨﺎ ِﻓﻴ ِﻪ َو ِز ْدﻧَﺎ ِﻣ ْﻨ ُﻪ‬

O Allah, bless it for us and give us more of it. [Sunan Ibn Majah]
 Dua for warding off the evil eye.

The Prophet (saw) confirmed that the evil eye is a source of misfortune

Children are especially vulnerable to the evil eye, so you should make it a habit to
recite this Dua 3x every morning and evening to protect them.

ِ ‫أَ ُﻋﻮ ُذ ِﺑﻜَﻠِ َام ِت اﻟﻠﱠ ِﻪ اﻟ ﱠﺘﺎ ﱠﻣ‬

‫ﺎت ِﻣ ْﻦ َ ﱢ‬
‫ﴍ َﻣﺎ َﺧ َﻠ َﻖ‬
I seek refuge in the Perfect Word of Allah from the evil of what He has created.
[Sahih Muslim]

Dua for being grateful and having faithful children.

This Dua is a bit on the longer side, but the meaning is so beautiful that it’s well
worth the effort to learn it by heart and recite it for the health and Imaan
of your children.

ٰ َ ‫ﲇ َو َﻋ‬
‫ﲆ‬ ‫َر ﱢب أَ ْو ِز ْﻋ ِﻨﻲ أَنْ أَﺷْ ﻜُ َﺮ ﻧِ ْﻌ َﻤ َﺘ َﻚ اﻟﱠ ِﺘﻲ أَﻧْ َﻌ ْﻤ َﺖ َﻋ َ ﱠ‬
‫ۖ َواﻟِ َﺪ ﱠي َوأَنْ أَ ْﻋ َﻤ َﻞ َﺻﺎﻟِ ًﺤﺎ ﺗَ ْﺮﺿَ ﺎ ُه َوأَ ْﺻﻠِ ْﺢ ِﱄ ِﰲ ُذ ﱢر ﱠﻳ ِﺘﻲ‬
‫إِ ﱢين ﺗُ ْﺒ ُﺖ إِﻟَ ْﻴ َﻚ َوإِ ﱢين ِﻣ َﻦ اﻟْ ُﻤ ْﺴﻠِ ِﻤ َني‬
My Lord, grant me that I offer gratitude for the favour You have bestowed upon me
and upon my parents, and that I do righteous deeds that You like. And set righteousness,
for my sake, in my progeny. Of course, I repent to you, and truly
I am one of those who submit to You. [46:15]
 Dua for when your child gets hurt or falls sick.

Whenever your child comes running to you because they have fallen down and hurt
themselves, or when they get ill, you should say Bismillah 3x and recite this Dua 7x:

‫ﴍ َﻣﺎ أَﺟِ ُﺪ َوأُ َﺣﺎ ِذ ُر‬

‫أَ ُﻋﻮ ُذ ِﺑ ِﻌ ﱠﺰ ِة اﻟﻠﱠ ِﻪ َو ُﻗ ْﺪ َرﺗِ ِﻪ ِﻣ ْﻦ َ ﱢ‬
I seek refuge with Allah and with His Power from the evil that afflicts me and that
which I apprehend. [Sahih Muslim]

Dua for having a happy, righteous family.

This is the Quranic Dua you should frequently recite to have a peaceful home
environment, righteous children, and a loving spouse. Recite it at least once after every
Salah and notice the positive difference in your family life.

‫َر ﱠﺑ َﻨﺎ َﻫ ْﺐ ﻟَ َﻨﺎ ِﻣ ْﻦ أَ ْز َواﺟِ َﻨﺎ َو ُذ ﱢر ﱠﻳﺎﺗِ َﻨﺎ ُﻗ ﱠﺮ َة أَ ْﻋ ُ ٍني َوا ْﺟ َﻌﻠْ َﻨﺎ‬
‫ﻟِﻠْ ُﻤ ﱠﺘ ِﻘ َني إِ َﻣﺎ ًﻣﺎ‬
Our Lord, Give us, from our spouses and our children, comfort of eyes, and make us
heads of the God-fearing. [25:72]

Dua for when you feel overwhelmed

As a mother, you’re bound to feel frustrated and exhausted from time to time. When
the chores have piled up, the kids are sick, and you aren’t doing too well yourself, this is
the powerful Dua you should recite from the depths of your heart.

ْ ِ ‫ﻮب َﻓﺎﻧ َﺘ‬

‫ﴫ‬ ٌ ُ‫َر ﱢب إِ ﱢين َﻣ ْﻐﻠ‬
My Lord, indeed I am overwhelmed so help me. [54:10]
 Dua for entrusting your child to Allah (swt).

This is the Dua that Sayyidatana Maryam’s (as) mother recited to entrust her daughter
in Allah’s care. As Muslim moms, we should recite it for our children as well, to protect
them and our future generations against Shaytan and other evils.

‫إِ ﱢين أُ ِﻋﻴ ُﺬ َﻫﺎ ﺑ َِﻚ َو ُذ ﱢر ﱠﻳ َﺘ َﻬﺎ ِﻣ َﻦ اﻟﺸﱠ ْﻴﻄَﺎنِ اﻟ ﱠﺮﺟِ ِﻴﻢ‬
I seek refuge for her in You and [for] her descendants from Satan, the rejected. [3:36]

Dua for effectively managing your responsibilities

Nothing is possible without His help. Recite the following Dua for Barakah in your time
and health so you’re able to successfully manage all of your responsibilities in
the best manner possible.

‫ﻟﻠﱠ ُﻬ ﱠﻢ َر ْﺣ َﻤ َﺘ َﻚ أَ ْر ُﺟﻮ َﻓ َﻼ ﺗَ ِﻜﻠْ ِﻨﻲ إِ َﱃ ﻧَ ْﻔ ِﴘ ﻃَ ْﺮ َﻓ َﺔ َﻋ ْ ٍني َوأَ ْﺻﻠِ ْﺢ‬

‫ِﱄ ﺷَ ﺄْ ِين ﻛُﻠﱠ ُﻪ َﻻ إِﻟَ َﻪ إِ َﻻ أَﻧ َْﺖ‬
O Allah! It is Your mercy that I yearn for, so do not abandon me for even the blink of an
eye, and rectify for me all of my affairs. None has the right to be worshiped except You.
[Sunan Abi Dawud]

Beseech His mercy and beg Him to always be with you. If you have His
support and guidance, you can get through even the toughest times with ease!

 Du’a for my children
Shaykh Yahya Ibrahim

O Allah I beseech you with Your Blessed Names

as the One and Only, the Relied upon.
I call out to You by Your Greatest Name - the Eternally Living, the Sustaining of
All, to bless my children with righteousness.

My Lord increase their life span and bless their health, strengthen them with
obedience and worship of You.

My Lord help me raise up the Young, strengthen the weak and cure the infirm.

My Lord strengthen their bodies, tune their hearing, sharpen their sight,
clear their congestion, mend their wounds and make them whole.

My Lord with Your Mercy protect them from Illness, sin, mistakes, errors and
misguidance as consequence of their devotion to You

O Allah cause them to obey in love their parents, without rebellion,

sin or error or disrespectfulness.

Ya Allah help me raise them well with high morals and firm ethics of righteousness
that blesses them and I.

My Lord I entrust You with my progeny, for no trust is lost with You.
I entrust You with clearing them of impediments, ailments & immorality.
 I trust in You to guard them from evil that spreads by night or envious eyes
sharpened by the light of day and from the jealousy of hateful friends
and acquaintances.

My Lord protect my children from all sides,

above and beneath, right and left, front and back.

Ya Allah let my children be reason for honour and source of my pride.

Let them be loved by those who love You and turn their hearts to my children.

Ya Allah bless my children with a good share in this Dunya, in knowledge that
leads to You, in Your Obedience, in character and love.

My Allah elevate my children's status amongst others and grant them successful
positions that bring happiness, piety and wealth.

My Lord bless them with purity, charity, mercy, helpfulness,

knowledge of You that they share with others.

Ya Allah protect my children from humiliation and dishonour.

Bring them joy that will make me happy.

Ya Allah bless their hearing, sight and other blessings of health,

intelligence and character.

My Lord let my children and those entrusted to me in responsibility be proof for

me on the Day of Judgement.
~ Ameen, my Lord, Ameen ~
 Your children are given to you in trust.
They are an amanah. You will have to account for
how you treated them and how you made them
feel. Take this responsibility very seriously and
instil in them the confidence, strength and
courage they need to succeed in the world. You
will be asked about your treatment of your kids.

May your parenting a continuous source

good deeds.
