Can we pray for our brother to become obedient?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
We are three sisters and one brother, he is 22 years old. Though he is now an adult but he never gives attention to what our parents are saying. He always talks to them in loud voice and is very disobedient. Our parents are very upset because of his behaviour. Whenever they instruct him to study, he never lends an ear to their saying rather bombards on them why are they pinpointing him, he is not a kid. Earlier he used to be very nice, he used to offer salah and do tilawah but now he seldom goes to Masjid (usually on Jumuah) and is busy in mobiles and laptop etc. Kindly tell me some dua so that he becomes an obedient child.

Answer

(Fatwa: 1630/1261/B=1433)

The parents should recite the following dua thrice after every salah:
رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَاماً
When children grow they should be made understood with love, affection and politeness, it is not good to treat them strictly.
