When to Read

This powerful supplication, taught by Prophet Nuh (Noah) (peace be upon him) in the Quran, is perfect for any time. As children, we should regularly pray for our parents' forgiveness, especially after they have passed away, as their need for our dua continues. It's also beautiful to recite it for them while they are alive, showing our deep love and concern for their well-being in this life and the next.

How to Read

Recite this ayah with sincerity and a humble heart. Imagine Allah's mercy encompassing your parents as you make this dua. Raising your hands slightly is a common way to supplicate, but the most crucial aspect is the intention and heartfelt plea to your Lord.

Virtues & Benefits

This dua is a direct command from Allah, as revealed to Prophet Nuh. It encompasses seeking forgiveness not only for your parents but also for yourself, your household, and all believing men and women. It highlights the immense value Islam places on honoring parents, even after their passing, and the ongoing connection of mercy between children and their parents.
