Every new piece of clothing is a gift from Allah. The Prophet, peace be upon him, taught us to thank Allah when we dress, to ask for the good of new clothes, and to make dua for others when they wear something new. These short duas are perfect for teaching children before Eid.
When wearing new clothes
