How to make your children pray on their own without quarrel or a reminder -

Here's a narrative from a sister;

My Daughter was 12 years old & prayer was like heavy burden on her, So I told her to pray one day & I monitored her. She took the carpet & threw it on the ground. I asked her if she prayed - she said yes - Believe me, without feeling I slapped her face - I know I made a mistake. The situation has troubled me & I cried & I repent to God to forgive me..

The slap, the talk, the reminders did not make a difference to my child.

One day A friend told me a story. She went to one of her friends for a visit. Her friend was not very religious, but when the Adhan prayer was called, her children rushed for prayers without reminders or quarrel. I said to her how does your
children pray
on themselves without quarrel or a reminder? She said, before I got married I used to pray this Dua & stil pray it today.

After she told me the Dua, I began to recite in my prayers & anytime I could. Since I began to recite the Dua my daughter is now the first to prayer without reminders or quarrels. She got up in Fajr prayers without an alarm. And all her brothers are now eager in praying without any difficulties.

I know You are now eager to know this Supplication Dua..

The Supplication is in Surah Ibrahim 14:40.

And the Supplication

"Rabbi-Ajal'ni muqeema salaati, wa min thurriyyati, Rabbana wataqabbal duaa"

O my Lord! make me one who establishes regular Prayer, and also (raise such) among my offspring O our Lord! and accept Thou my Prayer.
