When to Read

This is a beautiful dua to make for your parents at any time. You can recite it during the last part of the night, after prayers, or whenever you remember them. It's particularly fitting to make this dua during times of ease and difficulty for them, or when you know they are striving towards a specific goal or aspiration.

How to Read

Recite this dua with sincerity and love for your parents. Focus on the meaning and truly feel the desire for their happiness and success. Imagine Allah granting them the best of this world and the next. It's good practice to raise your hands slightly when making dua, as is the general etiquette, and to face the Qiblah if possible. Begin by praising Allah and sending salutations upon the Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ.

Virtues & Benefits

Making dua for parents is a highly encouraged act in Islam, even after their passing. It's a way to show gratitude for their sacrifices and to seek continued blessings for them. The Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ said: 'When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: a continuous charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for them.' (Sahih Muslim 1631). This dua specifically seeks Allah's help for them to achieve their dreams, which is a beautiful expression of your love and a source of potential ongoing reward for you.
