A. Dua for Forgiveness
Mostly, Dua or pray that we mention to Allah for our parents is always demand forgiveness. We ask Allah to forgive all of their fault, instead ask to heal them of they are sick. One of the Dua that we always used is this :
1. ‘Allahumagfirlii waliwalidayya warhamhuma kamaa rabbayani śagirá‘
“O my Lord, forgive me and my parents (Mother and Father), love them as they love me in childhood.”
This Dua is commonly used after we pray five times. Even so, this Dua can be practiced in anytime and anywhere we are. If we are in Mosque, usually the Dua is commonly longer and for a lot of people. Here it is :
2. ‘Allaahummaghfirlii dzunuubii waliwaalidayya warhamhumaa kamaa robbayaanii shoghiiro, waliljamii’il muslimiina walmuslimaati, walmu’miniina wal mu’minaati Al ahyaa’i minhum wal amwaati, wataabi’ bainanaa wa bainahum bil khoiraati, robbighfir warham wa annta khoirur roohimiin, walaa haula walaa quwwata illaa billaahil’aliyyil adhiimi’
“O Allah, add forgiveness to me for my sins and the sins of my parents, and have mercy on me together with me, too for all Muslims and Muslim womens, all believers, men and women who are still alive as well as those who have died, and bring us between us and them with kindness, O God, grant us mercy and mercy because you are God more compassionate and powerless and effort with Your help.”
This Dua is used by leader in shalat or Imam for jamaah in Mosque. The goal is for benefit all of the people, and sometimes people respond it with ‘Amin’, in not-so-loud voice or a little bit whispered.
3. ‘Allahummaghfirlana dzunubana wa dzunuba walidaina warhamhuma kama rabbayana shigara.’
This Dua have same meaning with Dua number one. It is used when we pray and someone respond with ‘Amin’, and if we want to pray Dua but have a limited time, we can spell this Dua.
