How to Read

Recite this ayah with sincerity and a heartfelt intention for your parents' peace and comfort. Imagine Allah's mercy enveloping them. You can recite it individually, or as part of your regular duas after prayers.

Virtues & Benefits

This verse encapsulates a comprehensive supplication. By asking Allah to forgive our parents, we are fulfilling a beautiful aspect of honoring them, even after their actions may have passed. More importantly, we are asking for Allah's ultimate mercy and peace for them on the Day of Judgment, which inherently includes seeking their well-being and solace in this life. It reminds us that ultimate peace comes from Allah, and asking Him for it is the most effective means. The Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ said: 'When a person dies, their deeds end except for three: an ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who supplicates for them.' (Sahih Muslim 1631). This dua directly falls under the category of a righteous child's supplication.
