Islamic Family Values & Relationships
Family ties (silat ar-rahim) are sacred in Islam. Along with dua, strengthen bonds through kindness, service, forgiveness, and good character. Duas are most powerful when paired with action.
Strengthening Family Bonds Through Supplication
These duas focus on mercy for parents, righteousness for children, protection from harm, harmony at home, and love among hearts—drawn primarily from the Qur’an and authentic adhkar.

My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up when I was small.
