My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my home as a believer and the believing men and women.

Rabbighfir li waliwalidayya waliman dakhala baytiya mu'minan wa lilmu'minina walmu'minat

When to Read

This is a profound supplication taught to us by Prophet Nuh (Noah), peace be upon him. It's not tied to a specific time but is a powerful request we can make regularly, especially during our daily prayers (salat) after the Tashahhud, or at any time we remember our parents and family. Making this dua consistently shows our ongoing care and concern for their well-being in this life and the Hereafter.

How to Read

Recite this dua with sincerity and a heartfelt desire for Allah's mercy upon your parents and all believers. Imagine Allah's vast forgiveness and paradise. Itโ€™s best to raise your hands slightly when making dua outside of the obligatory prayers, though this specific supplication can be recited without raising hands during prayer. The key is the humility and earnestness with which it is made.

Virtues & Benefits

This verse encapsulates a comprehensive plea for forgiveness not just for oneself and parents, but also for all those who share our lives and faith. It reflects the deep sense of responsibility and love Muslims have for their families and the broader community of believers. By asking for parents to enter Jannah together with us, we are hoping for a reunion in the best of places, as granted by Allah. This is the ultimate aspiration for many, reflecting the strong family bonds emphasized in Islam.
