40 Important Supplications/Duas For Kids

Allah says in Surah Baqarah that He responds to invocations when humans ask him for something. Supplication and duas are some of the most essential things that Muslims can use in their everyday life. It is imperative for kids to start learning duas at a young age, so that they can begin to implement them and get used to them early on in life.

The importance of duas cannot be overstated. The Prophet (PBUH) said in a Hadith collected by Tirmidhi that supplication is the only way for a person to change his destiny. These are some of the most important supplications for kids:

All praise to Allah, He gave us life after taking it from us. Unto Him is the resurrection.
