"My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house as a believer and the believing men and believing women."
Rabbighfir li waliwalidayya waliman dakhala baytiya mu'minan walil mu'minina wal mu'minat
When to Read
This is a comprehensive supplication that can be recited at any time, especially after Salah (prayers), during the last third of the night, or at any moment you remember your parents and wish to seek Allah's mercy for them.
How to Read
Recite with sincerity and focus, visualizing your parents before you and feeling the weight of their rights upon you. Raise your hands in supplication as is customary for dua. Ensure you understand the meaning and feel the plea in your heart. It's a beautiful practice to make this part of your daily remembrance of Allah.
Virtues & Benefits
This verse, spoken by the Prophet Nuh (Noah) (peace be upon him) upon disembarking the ark, teaches us a profound principle: the importance of seeking forgiveness not just for ourselves, but also for those who have rights over us, including our parents. It shows the deep bond of care and responsibility within a family, extending even to believers who entered our homes. By including parents in our supplications for forgiveness, we acknowledge their role in our existence and seek Allah's boundless mercy for any shortcomings they may have had, or for any sins they might have committed that could affect them in the Hereafter. This dua embodies the concept of continuous kindness ('birr') to parents, which is a cornerstone of Islamic ethics.
