Dua for Children and Parents from the Quran

We all know how important it is to make dua for ourselves, our children, our parents and the believers. Allah says in the Quran:

And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided. (Quran, 2:186)

Below are the duas from the Quran for children, parents and the believers. These are the duas of Prophets. Memorise them and use them daily for the full benefits.

"Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire." (Quran, 2:201)

When we make dua, ask for the dunya AND the akhira. This is an excellent dua for both.

"Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people." (Quran, 2:286)

This dua is for when we make mistakes without knowing it.
