My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my home as a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction.

Utter the words with humility and a heartfelt plea, understanding the profound meaning behind Prophet Nuh's request. It's a comprehensive dua that encompasses personal seeking of forgiveness, care for family, and concern for the wider community of believers.
