O Allah, forgive [Name] son of [Father's Name], raise his rank among those who are guided, and be his successor among those who remain. Forgive us and him, O Lord of the worlds, and make his grave spacious and light for him.
Allahumma-ghfir li [Name] ibn [Father's Name], warfa' darajatahu fil-mahdiyyin, wakhlufhu fi 'aqibihi fil-ghabirin, waghfir lana wa lahu ya Rabb al-'alamin, wafsah lahu fi qabrihi wa nawwir lahu fih.
When to Read
This dua is particularly poignant when seeking mercy for a loved one who has passed away, especially if they held differing beliefs or denied some of Allah's attributes. It can be recited anytime after their passing, during times of remembrance, or on occasions like the anniversary of their death.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincere intention, calling upon Allah's vast mercy. Replace '[Name]' and '[Father's Name]' with the actual names of the deceased. Focus on the meaning and the plea for Allah's forgiveness and ease for the departed soul. It is recommended to do so with a humble heart and while facing the Qiblah, though not strictly required.
Virtues & Benefits
The primary benefit of this dua is seeking Allah's immense forgiveness and mercy for the deceased. Even if someone erred in their belief or understanding of Allah's attributes, the supplication of a believer for their fellow Muslim can be a means of immense good. The Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ taught us the importance of praying for the deceased, as it benefits them in the grave and elevates their status. This dua is comprehensive, asking for forgiveness, guidance, a successor for their family, and ease in the grave.
Source & Authentication
The wording provided is a well-established supplication for the deceased. While Sahih Muslim 920 contains a similar supplication by the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ for a child who died, the general form and essence of seeking forgiveness and ease for the deceased are derived from numerous authentic narrations. For instance, the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ said: 'When a person dies, all their deeds come to an end except for three: a continuous charity, knowledge that benefits others, or a righteous child who supplicates for them.' (Sahih Muslim 1631). This hadith underscores the power and importance of a living person's dua for the deceased. The specific wording in the entry is a more detailed supplication that encapsulates various aspects of mercy and ease for the departed soul, and is widely used and recommended by scholars.
