Prayers for Parents
- O Allah, grant us the pleasure of our parents. Let them not depart from this world unless they are fully pleased with us. Assist us in serving them as they desire from us. Make us obedient and dutiful to them, and bless us with their satisfaction. We seek refuge in You from being undutiful to them. O Allah, grant us their approval, and protect us from disobedience. Ameen.
- O Allah, guide us, our spouses, and our children to honor our parents. Bestow upon our parents the love of our spouses and children. O Allah, lead us back to our parents in a beautiful manner. Do not allow us to raise our hands against them or raise our voices over them. For those among our parents who are troubled, relieve their distress. For those who owe debts, free them from their obligations. Heal any of them who are ill and restore their health. O Allah, make our parents among the happiest of people. Do not let them experience the sadness of this world combined with the pain of the Hereafter, through Your mercy, O Most Merciful. Have mercy upon us and them, and grant us all a good ending. Do not sadden us by parting from our parents. O Lord of the worlds, make us a source of pride for them after their passing through our righteousness, prayers, and charitable acts. O Allah, grant them the fulfillment of their hopes for us in this world.
- O Allah, for every verse we have recited and You have blessed, every prayer we have offered and You have accepted, every charity we have given and You have increased, and every righteous deed we have performed and You have approved, we ask that You grant our parents a greater share of these blessings than we have. May their portion be more abundant, and their reward more generous, for You have commanded us to honor them and encouraged us to offer them our gratitude. Truly, You are the most deserving of our devotion, and the most entitled to our connection.
- My Lord, grant me the opportunity to honor my mother and father. Please continue to bless them with Your grace, health, and well-being. Fill their hearts with joy, and have mercy on them in this world and the Hereafter. Make them among the dwellers of Paradise.
- O Allah, forgive my parents, have mercy on them, grant them well-being, excuse their shortcomings, honor their resting place, expand their entrance to the afterlife, and cleanse them with water, snow, and coolness. Purify them from sins as a white garment is purified from stains. Grant them a home better than their own, and a family better than their previous companions. Admit them into Paradise without accountability, and protect them from the punishment of the grave. O Allah, make their graves a garden from the gardens of Paradise, not a pit from the pits of Hell. Extend their view in their graves, and shower their resting places with light, joy, and comfort. O Allah, make their graves spacious and fill them with Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.
