2 minutes a daytime it takesThe Qur'an records the du'as that Prophets and righteous believers made for their children: Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) asking that his children keep up the prayer, Prophet Zakariyya (peace be upon him) asking for good and pure children, and the servants of the Most Merciful asking for children who are the coolness of their eyes.
This sheet brings six of these du'as together in Arabic, with transliteration, meaning and reference. The third page is a weekly tracker, so you can tick each du'a on the days you recite it, and a space to write the names of the children you pray for.
