Question

My son drinks and then drives, I am scared but he won't listen to me please tell me some dua so he stop doing all this and take interest in religion.

Answer

We hope that this response reaches you in the best of health and Imaan. Ameen inshaAllah.

The following duas have been related by our pious elders as a means of asking Allah Ta'ala to help you with your situation.

In order to have your spouse and children be more inclined to Deen and piety, it is recommended that the following dua be made with sincerity after every Fardh salaah.

Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhuriyyatina qurrata A'yunin waj'alna lil-muttaqina imama. (Our Lord! grant us in our mates and offspring the joy of our eyes and make us patterns for those who guard against evil.)

The duas of a parent for their child are also extremely helpful, so continue to make sincere dua to Allah Ta'ala that he helps guide your son back to the straight path and allows him to stop drinking. We also recommend, that if the situation is out of control, that he seeks professional help, including counseling and treatment.

May Allah Ta'ala make it easy for you and may He continue to forgive his Ummah for our shortcomings. Ameen!

[Editor's note:

Read books of virtues (like Muntakhab Ahadith) with your family for 5-10 minutes every evening.

Bring some gift of Islamic books of virtues, Du'a and zikr for your family to read at home.

If there is a gathering for Taleem (Islamic knowledge to increase faith and good deeds) encourage your family to attend. Your masjid Imam and community may help you find such programs.]

And Allah knows best.
