The dua before sleeping is one of the first duas you can teach a child — short, easy to memorize, and read every night. With Baby Mo’s cheerful “Doa Sebelum Tidur” song video, kids learn by singing rather than forced memorizing.
The dua before sleeping
بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيَا وَبِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ
Bismika Allāhumma aḥyā wa bismika amūtu
“With Your name, O Allah, I live and with Your name I die.”

How to teach it with the video
- Play it during the bedtime routine. Make it part of the nightly ritual: brush teeth, lights down, then sing the dua together.
- Sing along — don’t just press play. A parent’s voice helps a child feel safe and memorize faster.
- Repeat every night. Consistency turns a song into a habit, and a habit into character.
Why songs work for kids
Melody and repetition help a child’s brain store words far better than plain memorization. A half-minute song fits a toddler’s attention span — enough for one dua, never boring.
