A dua for parents mercy

رَبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا

Rabbir Hamhumaa Kamaa Rabbayani Sageeraa

“My Lord, have mercy on them, because they raised me [when I was] a child.”
(Surah Isra Verse 24)

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Allah delivers a clear mandate and demonstrates the rights of parents over their children in the previous verse:

Make no attempt to make another deity [equivalent] to Allah in order to avoid being condemned and forsaken.

And your Lord has commanded that you worship no one other but Him, and that you treat your parents well. Whether one or both of them reach old age while with you, don’t say anything to them except “uff,” and don’t rebuff them; instead, speak a noble word to them.
“Lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy,” the Surah adds, “and say, Rabbir hamhumaa kamaa rabbayaanee sagheera,” which means, “My Lord, have mercy on them as they raised me [when I was] small.”

This is a simple and lovely du’a in which we implore Allah to have mercy on both of our parents, as they did on us when we were younger. We aren’t ideal kids; we’ve made errors and probably done a lot of things that anger our parents, but they still love us, provide for us, and forgive us.

This du’a is a request to Allah to show our parents the same mercy that we have received.

When a man dies, his activities come to an end, but three things remain: recurring charity, knowledge (by which people benefit), or a pious son who prays for him, according to Abu Huraira (ra) in Sahih Muslim 1631. (for the deceased).

One of the ways we may honour our parents is to recall them in our prayers on a regular basis.

As parents, we must treat our children with respect, provide them with love and attention, and raise them in accordance with Islamic principles. Inevitably, the child will feel compelled to repay the unconditional love and sacrifice shown by his or her parents. In a way, the roles are reversed: the kid (now an adult) is responsible for wishing to be a source of benefit and care for his or her parents in their old age and even after they die.

As a family, we should strive to assist and support one another in order to make life easier to bear. We should refrain from nagging, disrespecting others, or creating an unpleasant workplace that we dread returning to.

Instead of focusing on what we anticipate from one another, consider how we may be the best spouse, mother, brother, or sister we can be. What would that imply or imply? What are the actions that someone with that designation would be held responsible for?

You will never be able to change the conduct of others, no matter how hard you try. Begin by boosting your standards and taking the initiative without expecting anything in return. They will come around if you give and maintain this production for a long enough time. When respect is shown, it is returned.

HADITH AND THE QUR’AN

The Prophet remarked, “When a man spends on his family, seeking reward for it, that is an act of charity on his behalf,” according to the hadith Sunan an-Nasa’i 2545, reported by Abu Mas’ud. And it was related from Mu’awiyah bin Jahimah As-Sulami in Sunan an-Nasa’i 3104 that Jahimah came to the Prophet ( ) and said: “O Messenger of Allah! I’ve come to seek your guidance because I want to go out and fight (in Jihad).” “Do you have a mother?” he inquired. “Yes,” he said. “Then stay with her, because Paradise is beneath her feet,” he answered.

“And We have imposed upon man, to his parents, good care,” the Qur’an says. His mother had a difficult time carrying him and giving birth to him.” (46:15)

“And your Lord has ordered that you worship none but Him, and that you treat your parents well,” says another verse in the Qur’an, which I know many parents love to quote. Whether one or both of them reach old age while with you, don’t say anything to them except “uff,” and don’t rebuff them; instead, speak a noble word to them.” (17:23)

“I arrived to the Prophet while he was talking to the people, and I heard him say, ‘The hand of the one who gives is superior,” a man from Banu Yarbu’ recounted to Ahmad. Give to your mother and father, sister and brother, and then the closest and next closest.” (from Ibn Kathir’s tafsir)

In Islam, the necessity of sustaining and developing the family unit should be studied. “Gardens of eternal dwelling; they will enter them with whoever was upright among their fathers, their spouses, and their descendants,” the Qur’an says, and those who actively endeavour to develop family bonds will be rewarded. “Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured,” the angels will say as they approach them from every gate. And the final home is fantastic.” (13:22-23)
