7 Prayers to Soften the Heart of an Angry Child and How to Educate Them According to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

Every kid has a unique character. Some are calm, but others can be stubborn and quick-tempered. Parents are encouraged to guide with love, not harshness. Besides effort, prayer is key so that Allah softens the child’s heart. Here are some prayers you can practice: (1) A prayer to soften hearts like Prophet David (AS); (2) A prayer for children to be the delight of our eyes (QS Al-Furqan:74); (3) A prayer for dutiful children; (4) A prayer for children’s goodness; (5) A prayer for righteous offspring (QS As-Saffat:100); (6) A prayer for obedient children (QS Ibrahim:40); and (7) A prayer for well-being in this world and the hereafter (QS Al-Baqarah:201). The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) set an example in raising children through the story of Anas bin Malik: he never got angry, gave space, never used harsh words, and led by real example. This approach nurtured respect and made Anas a prominent hadith narrator. https://mozaik.inilah.com/dakwah/5-doa-melembutkan-hati-anak-yang-pemarah-dan-cara-mendidiknya-ala-rasulullah-saw

It makes me feel all fond and giddy inside remembering how the Prophet never got angry with Anas. I mean, kids are definitely full of mischief, right? I really need to learn to be more patient again.

Subhanallah, this is so helpful. It happens a lot, you know - as parents, we’re the ones who end up getting emotional instead. Need more dhikr and better role modeling for sure.

Thanks for the reminder, I often forget that violence isn’t the answer. A parent’s prayer is powerful, so don’t lose hope.

Jazakillah khair for sharing, sis, this is so my eldest-she really struggles to control her emotions 😢 I’ll try practicing these prayers, may Allah soften her heart.

Prophet David’s prayer really is powerful, huh, I sometimes practice it for my husband too lol. But for the kids it’s more of a priority.

My kid is like that too, sometimes it’s so adorable it gets on your nerves, but when I remember the story of Anas bin Malik, I just let it go. Hope I can stay consistent.
