A Dua for the Living and the Dead

A supplication the Prophet ﷺ himself would recite — for every member of our family, however near or far, however long departed.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا

"O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those present and absent, our young and our old, our males and our females. O Allah, whomever You grant life from among us, let him live in Islam, and whomever You cause to die from among us, let him die in faith."

Sunan Ibn Majah 1498, narrated by Abu Hurairah (graded Hasan)
رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا

"My Lord, have mercy upon them [my parents] as they brought me up when I was small."

Surah Al-Isra, 17:24

On Ongoing Charity

Words that inspire this work — from the Quran, the Sunnah, and those who came before us.

"The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed which grows seven spikes; in every spike there is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies for whom He wills."

Quran 2:261

"When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity (sadaqa jariah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them."

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ · Sahih Muslim 1631

"The believer's shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his charity."

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ · Musnad Ahmad
