Duas for strength in old age and caring for elderly parents
My Lord, have mercy upon them as they nurtured me when I was small.
O Allah, help me to remember You, to give thanks to You, and to worship You in the best manner.
O Allah, have mercy on me as a young one, and forgive me as an elder. Guide me to the right way, enrich me with sufficiency, help me with victory, and relieve me with a swift relief. Do not let an enemy or an envious person rejoice over me. Pardon me, O Most Merciful of the merciful.
O Allah, forgive me my all sins, the minor and the major, the first and the last, the open and the secret. And do not cut me off from the benefits of this world and the Hereafter because of them. O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in Your command, certainty in Your decree, willingness to accept Your decree, gratitude in times of ease, and praise to You in all circumstances.
My Lord, grant me from Yourself an excellent offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication.
