Sadness is felt so great when we are abandoned by our parents forever. What can we do? We should send prayers for deceased parents. Although sadness often comes, we must control our sadness and continue to pray for our parents wherever we are. Friend, here is a collection of prayers for deceased parents and how we deal with grief.
After praying five times daily, pray for the deceased parents by reciting the abovementioned prayer. Allah Almighty has said in the Qur’an Surah Al-Isra verses 23-24 that we should always pray for our parents. Bismillah, Allah SWT will forgive our parents. Aamiin.
2. Reciting Prayers of Forgiveness to Allah SWT
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُسْلِمِيْنَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَالأَمْوَاتِ مِنْ مَشَارِقِ الْاَرْضِ إِلَى مَغَارِبِهَا بَرِّهَا وَبَحْرِهَا، خُصُوْصًا إِلَى آبَاءِنَا وَاُمَّهَاتِنَا وَأَجْدَادِنَا وَجَدَّاتِنَا وَأَسَاتِذَتِنَا وَمُعَلِّمِيْنَا وَلِمَنْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَيْنَا وَلِأَصْحَابِ الحُقُوْقِ عَلَيْنَا
It means, “O Allah, forgive the believers, believers, Muslims, Muslims, the living, the dead, scattered from east to west, on land and at sea, especially fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers, Ustaz, teachers, those who have done good to us, and those who still have rights against us.”
Through prayer, we can ask Allah SWT for forgiveness for all the sins during life that parents committed. May Allah Almighty grant forgiveness and affection towards deceased parents by reading prayers and sincere heart intentions.
3. Reciting Prayers Often Offered by the Prophet
In addition to sending prayers for deceased parents, we also ask Allah SWT for forgiveness to be given protection in this world and the Hereafter. May Allah Almighty grant good to us and our parents in the Hereafter and be kept from the torment of hellfire. May our humility in prayer be granted by Allah SWT.
