When to Read

This powerful supplication can be recited at any time, but it is especially poignant after completing acts of worship like prayer, reading the Quran, or performing Hajj and Umrah. It is also a beautiful dua to make regularly throughout the day, keeping your parents in your thoughts and seeking Allah's mercy for them.

How to Read

Recite this dua with sincerity and a hopeful heart. Imagine yourself on the Day of Judgment, seeking Allah's ultimate forgiveness and mercy for yourself, your parents, and all believers. Focus on the meaning of the words and the immense privilege of asking Allah to include your parents in His vast forgiveness and favor.

Virtues & Benefits

This verse from Surah Nuh is a comprehensive prayer that encompasses personal forgiveness, forgiveness for parents, and for all believers. Making this dua is a beautiful way to honor parents, fulfill their rights, and ensure they are remembered in supplications, especially on the Day of Reckoning. It reflects the interconnectedness of the believer's life and the importance of seeking collective mercy. Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) states in another verse: 'And those who came after them say, 'Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith...' (Al-Hashr 59:10), showing the merit of praying for those who came before us in faith, including parents.
