Answer:

Dua for child husband to become religious

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Dear and Beloved Sister in Islam, if any ‘tasbih’ or the chanting of a few phrases in itself would have had the power to make someone religious or righteous, then the Messenger of Allah (saws) would have performed the ‘tasbih’ or recited a few phrases on the enemies of Islam like Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab and converted them into righteous human beings!!!

If one desires to change the condition of one’s loved ones, whether they are children or adults, then two actions are required:

Sincere effort

Constant supplication

It is in the nature of children, especially at such a young age, to be mischievous and naughty; thus it would be best if you could bring yourself to accept and enjoy the nature they were created in by the Lord Most Merciful.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 66 Surah Tahreem verse 6: O you who have believed, save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel shall be men and stones; over which shall be appointed fierce and stern angels, who never disobey Allah’s Command, and they only do as they are commanded!

If your husband is careless in relationships with non-mehram girls, you must, with extreme patience and wisdom strive to instill the fear of Allah into him and advice him to abstain from everything which would bring about the Wrath and Anger of Allah Subhanah on him on the Inevitable Day of Judgment.

Along with sincere effort and striving to bring your family closer to the Straight Path, you must constantly supplicate the Lord Merciful to have mercy on you and your family, and save them from the evil temptations of the avowed enemy of man, the accursed Shaitaan.

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 186: And if My servants ask you, O Prophet, concerning Me, tell them that I am quite near to them. I hear and answer the prayer of the suppliant, when he calls on Me. So let them respond to My call and believe in Me. (Convey this to them), perhaps they may be guided aright!

Abu Hurairah reported, "The Prophet (saws) said, "Nothing is more dear to Allah than one's supplication to Him.''

Ibn Mas'ud reported that the Prophet (saws), said, "If any servant of Allah afflicted with distress or grief makes this supplication, his supplication will be accepted: 'O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of your maidservant. My forehead is in Your hand. Your command conceming me prevails, and Your decision concerning me is just. I call upon You by every one of the beautiful names by which You have described Yourself, or which You have revealed in Your book, or have taught anyone of Your creatures, or which You have chosen to keep in the knowledge of the unseen with You, to make the Qur'an the delight of my heart, the light of my breast, and remover of my griefs, sorrows, and afflictions'." A supplication in these words will be answered. Allah will remove one's affliction and replace it with joy and happiness.

Salman reported that the Prophet (saws), said, "Your Lord, the Blessed and the Exalted One, is Modest and Generous, and He loathes to turn away His servant empty-handed when he raises his hands to Him in supplication."

Narrated by Ahmad and Ibn Hibban.

Abdallah b. 'Umar reported that the Prophet (saws) said, "Hearts are like vessels, some more attentive and capacious than others. When you supplicate Allah you should be certain of being answered, and know that Allah does not answer a supplication that comes from a careless and inattentive heart."

Narrated by Ahmad

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 2248 Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

Allah's Messenger (saws) said, "There are three whose supplication is not rejected: one who has just ended a fast, a just imam, and one who has been wronged, whose supplication is raised by Allah above the clouds and for which the gates of Heaven are opened. The Lord says, 'I swear by My might that I shall certainly help you, though it be after some time.'"

Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet (saws) said, "Your supplication will be answered if you are not impatient, and if you do not say, 'I supplicated but my supplication was not heard'."

Dear and Beloved Sister, you may supplicate your Lord in any language or words that come from your heart; and keep your full trust and belief in Him and Him Alone. The Lord Most Merciful is well aware of the condition of each in His creation, and He Alone is the Disposer of all affairs of His believing slaves.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
