الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ

Said by the child when sneezing. The listener responds 'Yarhamukallah' (May Allah have mercy on you), and the sneezer replies 'Yahdikumullah wa yuslihu balakum' (May Allah guide you and improve your state).

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

Said by the child when meeting another Muslim, entering a home, or entering a room. Salam is the smallest, most-spoken dua of goodness in a Muslim's day.

رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي، وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي، وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِنْ لِسَانِي، يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي

Prophet Musa's dua. Read by a child when nervous to speak, before a presentation, or answering in class.

يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ

When someone sneezes and says 'alhamdulillah', we reply 'yarhamukallah'. The one who sneezed then responds: 'yahdikumullahu wa yuslihu balakum' (may Allah guide you and set your affairs right).

أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ يَشْفِيَكَ

Read by a child when visiting a sick family member or friend (recommended to repeat seven times).

اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي لِأَحْسَنِ الْأَخْلَاقِ لَا يَهْدِي لِأَحْسَنِهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ، وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا لَا يَصْرِفُ عَنِّي سَيِّئَهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ

A dua for good character and protection from bad character — the heart of raising a child.
