5 Most Beautiful Duas For Fathers That We Should All Recite

Duas for Fathers: Love itself is an irreplaceable emotion, no one in this world can replace that. And when it comes to love no one can love us more than our parents do. The unconditional, the purest form of love that they hold in their hearts, the affection in their action can’t ever be counted and it can never be replaced by anyone.

It is quite impossible to return it equally, the devotion and affection they put out in bringing us up, without even expecting a return, the sacrifices they give for us, and the hardships they bear just to fulfill their children’s dreams, is out of this world.

How to Pray for Your Father?

In our last post, we discussed 50 Islamic Quotes on Parents. Talking about parental love, think of your father who we mostly take for granted. We don’t take into account the efforts he put in to fulfill our desires, to see the smile on our faces, from the very early morning till late night he put the best of efforts.

Even when he is going through hard times, he won’t ever tell you that, even when he is not feeling well, he will still go to his job to earn money for the home. Your father can’t see the tears in your eyes, he won’t ever let you go to sleep with an empty stomach, he gives all his best to give you the best life. He may not be that expressive, but he loves you as no one will ever be able to love you.

For everything he does for you, there is nothing you can do to come up to the level of returning that. The best you can do for him other than making him satisfied from your side, and can make dua for him. You can ask Almighty Allah for his long and healthy life, a peaceful and a life full of happiness. And if he is not alive, you can still pray for him, hence, you can give him the gift of duas anytime in every situation. Because when you can’t anything, you can still pray, when no one listens, Allah does. So, pray for your father whenever you can.
