Dua For A Loved One Who Died?

What is the dua for a loved one who died in Islam

Dua for the deceased – When we learn of a fellow Muslim’s passing, we are encouraged to say the following: Transliteration: ‘Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un’ Translation: ‘ Surely to Allah we belong and to Him we will all return’. There are many different du’as that you can make for the deceased, and those made from the heart take special precedence.

Asking Allah (SWT) for forgiveness for the deceased, for protection from the grave and humiliation of the Day Of Judgement, and for Jannah (heaven) are common things to ask for when someone has passed away. Here is a sound and common example: Transliteration: Allaahummaghfir li (name of the person) warfa’ darajatahu fil-mahdiyyeena, wakhlufhu fee ‘aqibihi fil-ghaabireena, waghfir-lanaa wa lahu yaa Rabbal-‘aalameena, wafsah lahu fee qabrihi wa nawwir lahu feehi Translation: O Allah, forgive (name of the person) and elevate his station among those who are guided.

Send him along the path of those who came before, and forgive us and him, O Lord of the worlds. Enlarge for him his grave and shed light upon him in it.

What dua to say when someone dies

Remembering Our Loved Ones: Duas You Can Make for the Deceased When a loved one returns back to Allah, it is undeniable that we experience a range of emotions under grief. It has been especially hard and complex to grieve and honour deaths in the era of Covid as we used to: large gatherings at the mosque for the Janaza prayer, WhatsApp messages sent to groups letting others know of the Janaza and when to attend, to visitors and guests coming to comfort with words of remembrance, recitation of the Quran, hugs, stories of the loved one and food.

Whilst we know death is guaranteed for us all and is the bridge between this life and the next, it does not remove the emotion and we all require comfort. The comfort I have found whilst experiencing loss is the comfort Allah grants with His words. From the moment the person has returned to Allah, there is a prescribed dua or reminder in the Quran which can bring some sakinah.

If we just begin with the words often uttered when we hear of the news: Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un: “Verily we belong to God, and verily to Him do we return.” It reminds us that their death has been decreed by Allah, and we will all return to our creator.

Dua to recite at the time of death:

Allah reminds us through the Quran in Surah Baqrah that we will endure tests and those of us who patiently endure will also receive the blessing and mercy of Allah. It is prescribed to say at the time of a disaster (including death). Transliteration: Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un (Qur’an 2:156) Translation: Verily we belong to God, and verily to Him do we return.

At the time of death and when you have pangs of grief for your loved one:

• In Surah Al-Imran we are reminded that Allah is the one who decrees all affairs in our lives and those of our loved ones.
• Transliteration: Hasbunallah Wa Ni’mal-Wakil (Qur’an 3:173)
• Translation: Sufficient for us is Allah, and the best Disposer of affairs.

Dua for our loved ones who have passed:

1. These duas can be received at funeral prayers too.
2. 1) Dua for their forgiveness
3. Transliteration: Allaahum-maghfir lihayyinaa, wa mayyitinaa, wa shaahidinaa, wa ghaa’ibinaa, wa sagheerinaa wa kabeerinaa, wa thakarinaa wa ‘unthaanaa. Allaahumma man ‘ahyaytahu minnaa fa’ahyihi ‘alal-‘Islaami, wa man tawaffaytahu minnaa fatawaffahu ‘alal-‘eemaani, Allaahumma laa tahrimnaa ‘ajrahu wa laa tudhillanaa ba’dahu

Translation: O Allah forgive our living and our dead, those who are with us and those who are absent, our young and our old, our menfolk and our womenfolk. O Allah, whomever you give life from among us give him life in Islam, and whomever you take way from us take him away in Faith. O Allah, do not forbid us their reward and do not send us astray after them.

• Abu Dawud: 3201, At-Tirmidhi: 1024
• 2) Dua for mercy and better in the hereafter
• Transliteration: Allaahum-maghfir lahu warhamhu, wa ‘aafihi, wa’fu ‘anhu, wa ‘akrim nuzulahu, wa wassi’ mudkhalahu, waghsilhu bilmaa’i waththalji walbaradi, wa naqqihi minal-khataayaa kamaa naqqaytath-thawbal-‘abyadha minad-danasi, wa ‘abdilhu daaran khayran min daarihi, wa ‘ahlan khayran min ‘ahlihi, wa zawjan khayran min zawjihi, wa ‘adkhilhul-jannata, wa. ‘a’ithhu min ‘athaabil-qabri

Translation: O Allah, forgive them and have mercy on them and give them strength and pardon them. Be generous to them and cause their entrance to be wide and wash them with water and snow and hail. Cleanse them of their transgressions as white cloth is cleansed of stains.

Dua for their station and grave

Transliteration: Allaahummaghfir li warfa’ darajatahu fil-mahdiyyeena, wakhlufhu fee ‘aqibihi fil-ghaabireena, waghfir-lanaa wa lahu yaa Rabbal-‘aalameena, wafsah lahu fee qabrihi wa nawwir lahu feehi Translation: O Allah, forgive and elevate his station among those who are guided.

Send him along the path of those who came before, and forgive us and him, O Lord of the worlds. Enlarge for him his grave and shed light upon him in it. Muslim 2:634 We understand that this is a difficult time for you, and should you feel you or a loved one need professional support or guidance, please reach out or encourage a loved one to seek help and guidance.

What to do when a loved one dies in Islam?

Islamic Mourning Traditions and Customs – Islamic mourning rituals include prayer, readings from the Qur’an and moments of private meditation and reflection upon the goodness of God and the brevity of life. While sorrow and tears are an expected response to the loss of a loved one, Muslims will strive to express grief in a reserved and dignified manner.

Loud wailing or prolonged outbursts of grief would be considered inappropriate because they demonstrate a weakness of faith. While there is no Muslim funeral dress code specifically outlined in Islam’s sacred writings, clothing should be conservative with subdued, darker colors. Women should wear ankle-length skirts, high-necked tops and a headscarf.

People attending the funeral will be asked to remove their shoes before going into the time of prayer. Socks or stockings should be conservative and presentable. Visiting some homes will require the same tradition. Widows have additional mourning rituals and customs that govern their behavior.

What dua to read for dead parents?

Q. You mentioned certain actions we can do to increase the reward of our parents after their death. One is praying for them. Is there a particular prayer? Should it be said after each obligatory prayer, or as often as possible? If one wants to pay charity on their behalf, it is sometimes very difficult to establish that those who are taking it are really poor.

1. How to make sure? Is it true that the best thing is to read Surah Al-Ikhlas 100,000 times in Tasbeeh prayer and gift its reward to one’s parents? (Name and address withheld) A.
2. The best prayer, or dua’, to say for our deceased parents, and even when they are alive, is that which God has taught us in the Qur’an: “‘My Lord, bestow on them Your grace, even as they reared and nurtured me when I was a child.” (17: 24) Another prayer is that mentioned in the Qur’an as said by the Prophet Noah: “My Lord! Grant forgiveness to me and to my parents.” (71: 28) If you combine the two, you will be acting on the Prophet’s advice and saying the best prayers for them.

In Arabic, it is a short prayer that says: “Rabbi-ghfir lee wa liwalidayy. Rabbi-rhamhuma kama rabbayani sagheera.” We normally say this prayer at the end of each prayer, whether obligatory or recommended, just before we finish the prayer with salam. But it can be said at any time: The more often the better.

• When you pay charity, whether voluntary i.e.
• Sadaqah, or obligatory i.e.
• Zakah, you should try hard to ensure that it is given to people who really need it.
• You can always make your own inquiries about the status of people in your area, or seek advice from people around you.
• If there is a local committee that collects and distributes zakah and charity, and you are sure that its members are honest and seek to help those who are really poor in the community, you can pay it to them.

Generally speaking, do not pay it to beggars, because begging is forbidden in Islam, except in the three cases outlined by the Prophet. Islam does not like reciting surahs of the Qur’an, or glorifications of God, in very large numbers, because this tends to be mechanical, giving no chance to the person to reflect on the meaning of what one is saying.

Can you pray salah for dead person?

Question – What is the ruling on who died due to a grave illness and could not pray for one month and half then he died. Is it permissible for someone of his family to pray on behalf of him? If not then is there any expiation or not?. Praise be to Allah.

Firstly: Prayer is the greatest pillar of Islam after the Shahaadatayn, and it is not waived for anyone so long as he is of sound mind. Whoever can pray standing must do that, otherwise he should pray sitting or on his side, or by making gestures, according to what he is able to do, and Allaah does not burden any soul beyond its scope.

That is because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Pray standing, and if you cannot, then sitting, and if you cannot, then on your side.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari (1117). The one who prays sitting should lean forward for bowing and prostrating, making the prostration deeper than the bowing.

If he is unable to move his head, then should he gesture with his eyes, or is prayer waived for him, or are the movements waived only and not the words? The correct view is the third option. Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The most correct of these three views is that only the movements are waived, because that is what he is unable to do.

As for the words, they are not waived in his case, because he is able to say them, and Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “So keep your duty to Allaah and fear Him as much as you can” So we say: Say takbeer, recite Qur’aan, form the intention to bow, say takbeer and the tasbeeh of bowing, then form the intention to stand up, and say, Sami’a Allaahu liman hamidah Rabbana wa laka al-hamd (Allaah hears those who praise Him, our Lord to You be praise), and so on.

Then form the intention to prostrate and say takbeer and the tasbeeh of prostration, because this is what is dictated by the shar’i principle, “So keep your duty to Allaah and fear Him as much as you can”, If a person is unable to say the words or do the movements, such as if a man is paralyzed and cannot speak, what should he do? The answer is that both the words and the movements are waived in his case, but the intention remains, so he should form the intention that he is praying, and form the intention to recite, and form the intention to bow, prostrate, stand and sit.

This is the correct view, because the prayer is words and movements accompanied by the intention, so if the words and movements are waived because of one’s inability to do them, there remains the intention. And if we were to say to this sick person: You do not have to pray, that might cause him to forget Allaah, because if a day and a night pass without his praying, he may forget Allaah.

So if we make him feel that he has to pray even if it is only by intention, that is better than saying that he does not have to pray. End quote from al-Sharh al-Mumti’ (4/469). Based on that, if the person asked about reached a stage where he could not pray in any of the ways mentioned above, then he is excused and there is no sin on him.

Whether he was excused or not, if he failed to offer any of the obligatory prayers, no one should pray on his behalf. This is the view of the four imams (Abu Haneefah, Maalik, al-Shaafa’i and Ahmad – may Allaah have mercy on them). See: al-Mawsoo’ah al-Fiqhiyyah (2/334).

The scholars of the Standing Committee for Issuing fatwas were asked: My mother died after suffering greatly from sickness, may Allaah have mercy on her. She did not pray for ten days, during which she was unconscious at some times and awake at others, but she did not pray during these days. Should I pray on her behalf, or what should I do for her? Is it permissible to send blessings on the soul of the deceased? They replied: It is not permissible to offer prayers on behalf of the deceased, whether she failed to offer them because of an excuse or otherwise, or to pray with the intention that the reward for the prayer should go to the deceased, because that is not prescribed in sharee’ah.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever does an action that is not part of this matter of ours will have it rejected.” Narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh. End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (9/65). It also says (25/257): If your father lost consciousness when he became sick and was not aware of anything, then prayer was waived for him, and he is not accountable when in this state, because accountability for prayer is connected to reason and he no longer has it.

But if he did not lose consciousness or his reason, but he neglected prayer because he was unaware that people in his position have to pray according to what they are able to do, then we hope that Allaah will forgive him and excuse him for his ignorance of that and for having no one who could explain the shar’i ruling to him before he died – may Allaah have mercy on him and forgive him.

Whatever the case, it is not permissible for you to offer any prayers on behalf of your father, because no one can pray on behalf of anyone else. The basic principle is that prayer cannot be delegated. As for your doing Hajj and ‘umrah on behalf of your father, that is a way of honouring him, and if you give charity on his behalf from time to time, and pray for him and ask for forgiveness for him and uphold ties with his relatives and friends and treat them kindly, these are ways of honouring your father after his death, and you will be rewarded greatly in sha Allaah for what you do.

Why read Surah Yaseen for the dead?

Why do we recite Surah Yaseen upon those that are passing away? – It makes it easy for the Ruh to depart because, in this Surah, the Ruh is being told that it will live forever. This death is bodily death. Our Ruh lives on Authentic report – Yasir Qadhi

Which surah to recite on grave?

Visting Graveyard -Cemetery “It is one of the rights of a Muslim over another Muslim that he should visit his grave.”Imam Ja’fer As-Sadiq (A.S.) Merits of Visiting the Tombs of Faithful Believers The trustworthy and sublime Shaykh Ja`far ibn Qawlawayh al-Qummi reports `Amr ibn `Uthman al-Razi as saying that he heard Imam Abu’l-Hasan Musa ibn Ja`far, peace be upon him, saying, “Whoever is unable to visit us, may visit the righteous adherents of us.

If he does so, he will be endued with the reward of visiting us. Likewise, whoever is unable to connect us, may connect the righteous adherents of us. If he does so, he will also be endued with the reward of connecting us.” Reciting Sura Qadr 7 times with hands on grave facing Qibla Through an authentic chain of authority, Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Yahya al-Ash`ari is reported to have said, “I was in Fayd (a station on the way of Makkah) when I accompanied `Ali ibn Bilal in visiting the grave of Muhammad ibn Isma`il ibn Buzaygh.`Ali related to me, saying: The one buried in this grave told me that Imam al-Rida (`a) said, ‘Whoever comes to the graves of his brother-in-faith and puts his hand on the grave,directs his face towards the kiblah and recites Surah al-Qadr (No.97) seven times, will be secured on the Great Horror Day.” The method and rewards of visiting the graves of faithful believers have been demonstrated in another tradition reported from Fudayl who, accordingly, said: As to any one who recites Surah al-Qadr at the grave of a faithful believer seven times, Almighty Allah will send to him an angel who will worship Him (i.e.

Almighty Allah) next to that grave and the reward of all the devotional acts that are done by that angel will be recorded for the dead person. When Almighty Allah raises him from the grave, He will make easy for him all the horrors by which he will pass until he is allowed to enter Paradise.

1. Along with Surah al-Qadr, Surah al-Fatihah (No.1), Surah al-Tawhid (No.112), Surah al-Falaq (No.113), Surah al-Nas (No.114), and ªyah al-Kursi (2:155) may be also recited three times each.
2. Sayyid Ibn Tawus then added: While you are in a graveyard, you should recite Surah al-Tawhid eleven times and dedicate the reward to the dead.

It has been reported that Almighty Allah will reward the one who does so as many folds as the number of the dead persons in that graveyard. The following tradition is recorded in the book of Jami` al-Akhbar as reported from one of the Holy Prophet’s companions: One day, the Holy Prophet (s) said, “Give presents to your dead people.” “O Allah’s Messenger,” we asked, “what should we give as presents to our dead people?” “You should present them alms and supplications, ” instructed the Holy Prophet (s).

He then added, “Every Friday, the souls of the believers come down to the lowest sky directly on their houses and homes and each one of them cry out with sad tone and weep, saying, ‘O my family members! O my sons! O my father! O my mother! O my relatives! Be kind to us, may Allah have mercy upon you, by presenting us some of that which was possessed by us! Now, woe and perdition are to us while the benefits are to others!’ Each one of the dead then cry out to his relatives, saying, ‘Be kind to us by giving as alms a dirham, a loaf of bread, or a dress so that Almighty Allah will dress you from the garments of Paradise.'” The Holy Prophet (s) then wept so heavily that he could not keep on talking.

We also wept. He then added, “Those are your brothers-in-faith. They became rotten dust after pleasure and bliss. They now express grief and lamentation, saying, ‘Woe be to us! Had we given as alms all that which was possessed by us, seeking Almighty Allah’s pleasure and obeying Him, we would not have been in need for you.’ They then return with regret and grief, calling out, ‘Hurry up in giving the alms of the dead!'” The Holy Prophet (s) is also reported to have said, “Whatever alms you give on behalf of the dead, an angel will take that alms in a plate of light, while the alms is shining, to the seventh sky.

He then stops at the brink of a ditch and says, ‘Peace be upon you, O inhabitants of the graves. Your people have gifted you this present.’ As the angel enters the grave with that alms, these graves are extended for their inhabitants. Verily, whoever dedicates an alms to a dead person will be given by Almighty Allah rewards that are as great as Mount Uhud.

On the Resurrection Day, he will be placed under the shadow of Almighty Allah’s Throne when there shall be no shadow except Allah’s. Because of that alms, he will be saved in his lifetime and after his death.” It has been told that the governor of Khurasan was seen in dream saying, “Send to me the leftovers that you give to the dogs, because I am in urgent need for these leftovers.” In conclusion, visiting the graves of faithful believers brings about an abundant reward in addition to great advantages and outcomes.

It gives lessons in religiousness, draws attentions to the reality of our worldly lives, encourages asceticism and abstinence from worldly pleasures, and arouses the desire for the Hereafter. Visiting the graves becomes highly recommended for those who are highly delighted or extremely distressed. A true reasonable is he who learns lessons from graves, stripping himself of the sweetness of this worldly life and changing its sweet taste into bitterness, he who ponders over the inevitable extinction of this worldly life and the ceaseless changeability of its manners, and he who always remembers that very soon, he will be just like these inhabitants of graves, will fail to do any further charitable deed, and will be lesson for others.

It is reported that Almighty Allah revealed to Prophet Jesus (`a), saying: يَا عِيسَىٰ، هَبْ لِي مِنْ عَيْنَيْكَ ٱلدُّمُوعَ وَمِنْ قَلْبِكَ ٱلْخُشُوعَ وَاكْحِلْ عَيْنَيْكَ بِمَيْلِ ٱلْحُزْنِ إِذَا ضَحِكَ ٱلبَطَّالُونَ وَقُمْ عَلَىٰ قُبُورِ ٱلامْوَاتِ فَنَادِهِمْ بِٱلصَّوْتِ ٱلرَّفِيعِ لَعَلَّكَ تَاخُذُ مَوْعِظَتَكَ مِنْهُمْ وَقُلْ: إِنِّي لاَحِقٌ بِهِمْ فِي ٱللاَّحِقِينَ.

Can I pray for death in Islam

Suicide – Islam, as with other Abrahamic religions, views suicide as one of the greatest sins and utterly detrimental to one’s spiritual journey. The Islamic view is that life and death are given by Allah. The absolute prohibition is stated in the Quran, Surah 4:29 which states: “do not kill yourselves.

Surely, Allah is Most Merciful to you.” Life is sacred, and a gift from Allah; and it is only Allah, and not the human beings, who has the right to take it back. This willful taking of one’s own life is considered a major sin in Islam. Committing suicide to save oneself from suffering is discouraged. Islam teaches that in the face of hardship, one should not directly pray for death.

Instead, one should say: “Oh Allah! Let me live as long as life is good for me, and let me die if death is good for me.” Euthanasia is considered one form of suicide and has the same ruling as that of suicide. Unjust killing of any human being is one of the most heinous and the cardinal sins in Islam.

Is it Haram to cry when someone dies in Islam?

7 pieces of advice for every Muslim losing a loved one Many of us have forgotten the significance of making Duas by thinking that making a Dua is all there is to do when in reality, Duas are our strongest assets to the point that they can possibly alter the decree of Allah to turn out to be another decree.

1. With this mentality, people tend to get occupied with other acts, thinking that these acts will profit the dead, but they do not.
2. Having get-togethers while reading Qur’an on the dead or thinking Duas are more powerful whilst at the grave are already forms of modernisations in the religion that has no authentic basis.

The Holy Qur’an was made known as a form of healing and guidance for those alive. It was never the tradition of the early righteous Muslims to gather after the death on a specific day or visit the grave in order to make Duas for the dead with the perception that they will be more acceptable.

1. The little things we do can truly be big in the eyes of Allah.
2. Make Duas for the forgiveness of loved ones, especially the children to their parents.
3. There are many ways to make your Dua.
4. However, it should be observed in accordance with the Sunnah; take note that the best Duas are those wordings said by the Prophet.2.

Sabr (Patience) Probably one of the hardest attribute to grasp when dealing with the death of a loved is observing patience or Sabr. Allow yourself time to heal, and don’t let death take its toll on you. Sabr enables a rightful Muslim to demonstrate reliance and contentment to the decree of Allah.

• This will also allow that person to be grateful to Allah despite such loss knowing that Allah will never burden a soul with more than he/she can bear and that He designed this pivotal moment to pay off the loss with something much bigger in the future.
• The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) reminds us that a true believer will express gratitude to Allah, if prosperity attends that person, and he/she will patiently endure any adversity that befalls him, thinking that it is for his best interests.

Observing Sabr or patience does not mean we cannot feel down or cry our grief; for Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also had tears in his eyes when Ibraheem, his son passed away. But we must not hit oneself, cry excessively, tear down the clothes, and most especially question Allah’s decree.

These acts are strictly prohibited, and thus, we waste away on the great reward that is to come for being patient.3. Don’t dwell in isolation It is quite common to be engulfed by grief with the death of a loved one. However, one must not dwell in it much, as this sends an invitation to Shaytan to become misery’s company.

The ploy is to give your attention to every little thing you have, thinking that this could also be taken away from you. Love brings love while regret leads to discontentment; discontentment should not be felt, most especially to the Glorified and Exalted Allah.

1. Let the death of a loved be a lesson of detaching from Dunya and to hold Allah (glorified and exalted be he) in your heart above all others.4.
2. Aiding and Forgiveness In life, we have our own share of disagreements which may, later on, lead to holding grudges against one another.
3. Forgiving your deceased loved one for any wrongdoings they have done to you is a great gift you can give to them.

By freeing yourself from grudge or something that person owes you, you are being merciful to that person which will also lead to Allah being merciful upon you as well. Besides giving forgiveness to what is due, a faithful Muslim also ought to help a deceased brother with any outstanding debt he or she may have left behind.

The living faithful follower must also help in the funeral as well, for this is one of the obligations of a Muslim to another Muslim brother or sister. Help the close relatives or the family of the departed Muslim during their difficult time, knowing they really need any help that comes along their way.5.

Sadaqa (Charity) Another good thing a faithful follower of Islam can do for their departed loved one is to offer charity or Sadaqa on their behalf alongside his or her own charity or Sadaqa that he/she gives while still alive. This is according to the Sunnah and one that should be taken with high importance.

Donate on projects that provide water, build a school or Masjid, or simply donate clothes and foods to charity. Sadaqa does not only mean to give money on behalf of your late loved one, but you could also do a Hajj or Umrah, just as long as you have finished your Hajj already. You can also try observing voluntary fasts for the sake of your deceased loved one.

In conjunction with all of this, try to remember some of the bits of advice the departed may have shared with you and try to act them out. This will allow them to have the incessant reward for the knowledge they have imparted when they were still alive.

Also, take note that by doing such acts you will benefit your own book of deeds as well 6. Occupy yourself We all need time to heal and experience the feeling of grief as it comes. But, it is imperative to keep moving forward despite the loss. The process of bereavement carries you back to the past, reminding you of all that you could have said or done, and this makes you feel all the more depress and lonely.

Thus, going back to your usual routine could become your lifeline, as this may serve as a healthy distraction to channel out your energy to do something good. One is never really prepared for this paralyzing pain, yet Allah (glorified and exalted be he) reassures us that every hardship will ease (Qur’an: Chapter 94 verse 5).7.

Reflection Lastly, take these pivotal and precious moments of contemplation over the reality of this temporary world and that we will also depart from this transient phase to join Allah (Inshallah). We are encouraged to think about death over and over again and visit graveyards to keep us back on track and assess our current relationship and state with Allah.

Do not let the evil spirits keep you busy with all the worldly needs of this world. Remind yourself especially your loved ones and the others around you that death is just around the corner. We must do more to become better servants and faithful followers of Allah.

• With our reconnection with Allah upon a person’s death, that deceased follower may get the rewards for your good works as well.
• Feeling a deeper love for someone would also mean feeling deeper grief for that person’s loss, as they say, to grieve is to love.
• During the death of a loved one, we feel vulnerable, raw, anguished, devastated, and so much more.

Pain can be manifested in different ways, and the coping mechanism of an individual differs from person to person. There is no exact timeline for a healing process or grief, but in time, these sharp pangs may become blunt. But the Qur’an and the Sunnah can help us deal with these emotions more appropriately.

Dua-E-Maghfirat for the Deceased Person – When a person passes away in the Islamic faith, it is customary for the community to offer prayers for the departed soul. One of these prayers is the Dua-e-Maghfirah, a plea for Allah’s mercy and forgiveness for the deceased.

Here is an example of Dua-e-Maghfirah for a deceased person: In Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ، وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ In transliteration: “Allahumma-ghfir lahu warhamhu wa ‘afihi wa’fu ‘anhu, wa akrim nuzulahu wa wassi’ mudkhalahu, wagh-silhu bil-ma’i wath-thalji wal-baradi, wa naqqihi minal-khataaya kama naqqaita thawb-al abyada minad-danasi.” In English: “O Allah, forgive him/her and have mercy on him/her, keep him/her safe and sound and forgive him/her, honor the place where he/she settles and make his/her entrance wide; wash him/her with water and snow and hail, and cleanse him/her of sin as a white garment is cleansed of dirt.” This prayer not only provides solace to the grieving but also fosters a sense of community, reminding us of our own mortality and the importance of seeking forgiveness and doing good deeds in our lifetime.

• As we recite the Dua-e-Maghfirah for the deceased, let us also remember to extend our support and prayers to the grieving family, for they too are in need of our compassion and prayers during such challenging times.

How do you read Fatiha for a deceased person?

Reciting al-Fatihah for the deceased – There is no evidence for reciting al-Fatihah or any other part of the Quran and giving (the reward for) it to the deceased. We must not do that, because it was not narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) or his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did any such thing.
