Starting with a small story
Believe me, when my niece was born, the atmosphere of the house changed. Things that were kept quietly in corners earlier, now started breaking, the tinkling of toys started to be heard and the room was filled with innocent laughter. To tell you the truth, for the first time I realized that children not only bring happiness, but also bring the whole house alive. Dua For Barakah In Offspring
But then a fear also came in my heart—will we be able to raise these little angels properly? Will our children be just big or will they also have blessings? This is the biggest question.
What does blessings mean in children?
Blessings do not mean only having more children. The real blessing is that the children become good, become the support of the parents and become a blessing for their family. There are so many people who have children, but there is no peace in the house. And there are so many people who have only two children, but there is no lack of light and happiness in the house.
Barkat means – peace of heart, love in relationships and acceptance of prayers.
Why is it necessary to pray for blessings of children?
In our daily life, we pray for livelihood, job, health, everything. But praying for children is the most important, because this is our real inheritance.
Imagine, if the children turn out to be good, then there will be tears of pride in the eyes of the parents. And if the children go astray, then the same eyes become moist. Therefore, praying for blessings is like cleaning the soil before sowing the seeds.
Which prayers should be recited for blessings of children?
Many beautiful prayers have been mentioned in the Quran and Hadith for children. I am sharing some easy and memorable prayers here, which if recited from the heart, Allah will definitely accept them.
- Surah Al-Furqan (25:74):
“Rabbana hab lana min ajwaajina wa zurriyyatina kurrata ayyuni wa ja’alna lilmuttaqina imamah.”
(Our Lord! Grant us the coolness of our eyes from our wives and children and make us a guide for the pious.)
- For the protection of children:
“A’uzu bikalimatillahit-ta’ammaah min kulli shaitaniin wa ha’ammaah, wa min kulli ainin lamah.”
(I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and every harmful thing and every evil eye.)
- For blessings and good deeds:
“Rabbaij’alni muqeemassalati wa min zurriyyatina rabbana wataqbbal du’a.”
(O my Lord! Make me and my children among those who establish prayer, and accept my prayers.)
How to read these dua?
- Recite Adhan in the ear after the birth of the child.
- Recite prayers for the child every morning and evening and breathe.
- Keep the Quran recited in the house.
- Do good deeds in front of the children, because children learn only what they see.
Prosperity in children comes not only from prayers but also from actions
Just reading prayers is not enough. Allah has also ordered us to make efforts. If you want prosperity in children, then create a good environment for them.
Think, if we ourselves do not pray, tell lies, or keep scolding children in anger, then what will children learn from us? We will pray that “O Allah! May our children be pious”, but children will do only what they see in the house.
Prosperity also means that children should be true at heart, grateful, and useful to others. For this, just teaching them books is not enough, but it is important to teach them through your behavior.
Relation between upbringing of children and blessings
Tarbiyat i.e. upbringing is the most important thing. Prosperity in children happens only when they are shown the right path from childhood.
- Spend time with children.
- Instead of just helping them advance in studies, teach them humanity as well.
- Saying a little thank you, getting into the habit of praying and respecting the elders – this is the beginning of real blessings.
Nowadays we lose our children in mobile, internet and gadgets. But remember, the heart of children is like clean soil. Whatever you sow, that will grow.
The power of patience and gratitude in blessings
Many people say that they have less children or they got children late. But remember, when Allah gives, he gives according to his will.
Blessings are not just in “counts”. Sometimes a single child is so good and merciful that he becomes the reason for happiness for the whole family.
If there is a delay or problem in having children, then be patient and keep expressing gratitude. When Allah gives, he also gives blessings and mercy along with children.
Effect of Quran recitation for blessings in children
Quran is the biggest source of blessings. If Quran is recited in the house, then children will also remain connected to Quran.
- Let the sound of recitation reach the children daily.
- Make children memorize small surahs.
- Tell stories from Quran, stories of prophets.
When children get connected to Quran, their hearts and minds will automatically walk on the right path. This is the real blessing.
Giving charity and charity for children
Another big source of blessings is charity.
If you want your children to be protected from evil eyes and problems, then give charity on their behalf. Sometimes feed a poor person, sometimes get someone treated.
It is said in Hadith that charity ward off trouble. So why don’t we make charity a source of blessings and mercy for children by doing charity for them?
Effect of Namaaz for children
The most direct way to bring blessings to children is to connect them with Namaaz. Namaaz is not just a form of worship, but a way to lead a proper life.
Instead of forcing children to do Namaaz, explain its importance to them gradually. Make small children do Wudhu in a fun way, pray with them. When children see that their parents are serious about Namaaz, they will automatically incline towards it.
Remember, Namaaz for children not only brings blessings in this world but also becomes a means of earning rewards for them and us in the hereafter.
Tears in the eyes while praying for children
True prayer is that which comes from the heart. When a mother or father wakes up in the middle of the night and prays for their children, tears come out of their eyes, then Allah does not let that prayer go in vain.
You must have seen that when a child is ill, the parents cannot sleep peacefully. Similarly, we should also pray for the safety of children, their faith and their good future.
In the silence of the night, when everyone is sleeping, wake up and ask Allah for blessings by taking the names of your children. This prayer is very effective.
Blessings in children and protecting them from bad company
If children fall into bad company, blessings gradually decrease. A child’s heart is pure, but bad friends can mislead him.
That is why it is important to keep an eye on the children’s friends and their environment. Encourage them to stay with good friends. It is the responsibility of the parents to see with whom they interact in school and neighborhood.
Blessings are found only in children who follow the right path and live their life according to Allah’s will.
The biggest prayer for children – “Nek Aulad”
Many people think that their children should become very rich, reach a high position. But the biggest prayer is that the children should be virtuous.
The importance of virtuous children has been mentioned repeatedly in the Quran and Hadith. A virtuous child keeps praying for his parents even after their death. This is the real blessing.
Wealth, fame, and job all end, but children being virtuous is an eternal blessing for parents.
Dua for blessings in children – Our responsibility
Finally remember, children are the biggest blessing of Allah. Their correct upbringing, prayers, and love are our responsibility.
- Pray for them daily.
- Teach them the basics of Islam.
- Connect them with good environment and friends.
- Strengthen their relationship with Quran, Namaaz and Sadqa.
Progeny is blessed when parents pray and act accordingly.
Conclusion
