Here are some verses from the Quran and important guidance from fatwas regarding honoring and being kind to one’s parents; they serve as a message and a practical supplication directed at children to ensure their parents’ rights are upheld. We ask Allah to grant us the ability to honor our parents and to guide us in fulfilling their rights.
Written Prayer for Children
And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him and that you treat your parents with kindness.
[Al-Isra:23]
"Give thanks to Me and to your parents; to Me is the final destination."
[Luqman:14]
And We have enjoined upon man to be kind to his parents
[Al-Ahqaf:15]
The Importance and Virtue of Children's Prayers
The prayers of children are among the greatest acts of worship that bring a servant closer to God, the Exalted and Glorious, and they reflect the depth of mutual love and compassion within a Muslim family. When the tongue utters righteous supplications, tranquility descends upon the hearts, and a sense of peace fills the home. Furthermore, constant supplication serves as a strong fortress that protects against the evils and trials of this world and opens the doors to goodness, blessings, and success in life. Cultivating this practice strengthens close family bonds and instills in people’s hearts the values of righteousness and piety, which—by the grace of Allah—yields a righteous generation and a cohesive society that enjoys the pleasure of the Creator, Glorified and Exalted be He.
Recommended Times and Circumstances for Children to Pray
There are certain times and circumstances in which Islamic law encourages us to offer frequent supplications, as it is hoped that they will be accepted and answered by the grace of Allah. Among the most notable of these are:
- In the last third of the night, when God, Glorious and Exalted, descends in a manner befitting His majesty to answer the prayers of those who ask.
- During prostration in prayer, when a Muslim is closest to his Lord, the Exalted and Glorious.
- The time between the adhan and the iqamah is one of the blessed times when supplications are never rejected.
- When it rains, the gates of heaven open and God’s mercy and blessings pour down.
- On Friday, specifically during the last hour after the Asr prayer until sunset.
The Bottom Line on Children's Prayers
The supplications of children are a fundamental pillar of Muslim family unity, as they combine fulfilling the great rights of parents with attaining virtues and blessings at auspicious times. Therefore, every Muslim should make a point of offering these prayers as a way of life through which to draw closer to their Lord and preserve family bonds. We ask Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, to accept your supplications and to grant you the righteousness of your parents and the righteousness of your children in this world and the Hereafter.
