When to Read

This comprehensive dua can be recited at any time, but is particularly poignant during the daily prayers (Salat), after the obligatory prayers, or during personal supplication (Dua). It's a beautiful way to remember parents, living or deceased, and to seek Allah's mercy for them and for oneself.

How to Read

Recite this dua with sincerity and deep humility. Visualize your parents (or their memory) and the intention behind the supplication โ€“ seeking Allah's boundless mercy for them and for all believers. You can raise your hands during personal supplication while reciting this, as is the general etiquette for making dua.

Virtues & Benefits

This ayah is a powerful supplication that encompasses the forgiveness of oneself, parents, and all believers. It highlights the Islamic emphasis on honoring parents and the interconnectedness of the Ummah. By including parents in this dua, we fulfill a part of the obligation we owe them, even after their passing, and invoke Allah's mercy upon them. It is also a reminder that our own prayers benefit from seeking forgiveness for others.
