Below is the translation of Part 7 of the Dua which the Remnant of our Akabir, the Sublime Spiritual Leader, Sultaanul Aarifeen, the Grand Mufti, Allamah Mufti Ahmed Khanpuri (May Allah preserve him) regularly makes at the time of Tahajjud, after Taraweeh in Ramadhan and on Jalsah occasions. He starts off with many Arabic Masnoon duas. Below are his personal words.
O Allah, endow all of our children with the correct creed (aqaid), beneficial knowledge, righteous deeds and virtuous character. Fully protect them from immoral character, evil actions, bad habits, wicked company, the effects of depraved environments, and from being a target of the malice of evil doers. Train them in the best of manners through Your rank (shaan) of Rubibiyah. Make them the coolness of our eyes, the happiness of our hearts, a means of perpetual charity (sadaqah jaariyah) and greater than our expectations. O Allah, grant us the ability to fulfill the responsibility of teaching and training our children, which You have placed on our shoulders, with full trust (amaanah) and honesty (diyaanah).
O Allah, grant us, our families and all our dependents health, strength, aafiyah (well-being), safety and the goodness of this world and the next. Take the responsibility of fulfilling all of our needs. Don’t make us in need of anyone. Don’t let us extend our hands (due to need) in front of anyone. Grant us blessings and expanse in our sustenance.
O Allah, whatever different types of responsibilities You have placed on our shoulders, grant us the ability and good fortune (sa’aadah) to fulfill them with full trust and honesty. O Allah, fully protect us from the slightest mistrust and dishonesty with regard to them.
O Allah, those people whose children are disobedient, You make them obedient to You and their parents and make them the coolness of their parent’s eyes. Grant them consistency in fulfilling their parent’s rights. O Allah, nowadays complaints of the disobedience and rebellion of children are heard from every house. O Allah, cause the parents eyes to be cooled by their children’s obedience and respect.
O Allah, fulfill the hopes of those parents who have endowed their children for the acquisition of Deeni knowledge. Grant all their children beneficial knowledge, righteous deeds and virtuous character. Cool the eyes of their parents through them. Protect them from immoral company. O Allah, shower us with Your special virtue (فضل).
Aameen Ya Rabbal A’lameen.
