Dua for knowledge

For parents & teachers

Teaching this dua

Just three words, and the only thing in the Qur'an that Allah tells the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to ask for more of: knowledge. It is perfect before school, homework or a Qur'an lesson. Teachers can make it the class's start-of-lesson dua, said together before books open. At home, try it before reading a bedtime story, and talk about all the kinds of knowledge there are, from letters and numbers to animals, stars and how to be kind.

By age: All ages: three words, easy to learn in a day.
