My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house as a believer and the believing men and women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction.

Rabbighfir li waliwalidayya waliman dakhala baytiya mu'minan walilmu'minina walmu'minati wala tazidith-thalimina illatabara

When to Read

This powerful dua is ideally recited during the blessed days of Hajj or Umrah, particularly at sacred sites like Muzdalifah, Mina, or within the Haram. It's a perfect moment to supplicate for your parents while you're in a state of intense worship and closeness to Allah. You can also recite it during the tawaf or while performing sa'i, or simply at any point during your pilgrimage when you feel the connection to Allah is strongest.

How to Read

Recite this dua with sincerity and conviction, understanding its profound meaning. Focus on the names and rights of your parents as you utter the words. It's best recited from memory, but if needed, you can refer to a written copy. Make sure your intention is purely for the sake of Allah and seeking His mercy for yourself and your parents. Raising your hands during the supplication is a sunnah when making dua, especially when you are at these blessed locations.

Virtues & Benefits

This verse, recited by Prophet Nuh (Noah) (peace be upon him), is a comprehensive supplication that encompasses seeking Allah's forgiveness for oneself, one's parents, and all believing men and women. During Hajj and Umrah, our duas are believed to be more readily accepted. By reciting this, you are fulfilling a duty towards your parents and seeking Allah's immense mercy for them, which can elevate their status in the hereafter and bring you immense reward.
