When was the last time you made Dua for your parents?

My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy...

رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِى صَغِيرًا

 

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah رضي الله تعالى عنه who said: 

‘The Prophet ﷺ said: “Indeed a man’s status will be raised in Paradise & he will ask, ‘How is this for me?’ He will be told, ‘by your child’s seeking forgiveness for you.”

(Reported by Ibn Maajah, no 3660; see also Saheeh al-Jaami’, 1617)

وَقَضَى رَبُّكَ أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ إِلاَّ إِيَّـهُ وَبِالْوَلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَـناً إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ الْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ كِلاَهُمَا فَلاَ تَقُل لَّهُمَآ أُفٍّ وَلاَ تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلاً كَرِيمًا وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِى صَغِيرًا

“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say NOT to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour.”

(Al-Isra 17:23)

“And lower unto them the wing of submission & humility through mercy, & say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small."

(Al-Isra 17:24)
