Rabbana-ghfir li wa liwalidayya
The prayer of Ibrahim (AS) for forgiveness, beginning with himself, then his parents, then every believer on the Day of Account.
Recite it when seeking forgiveness for yourself, your parents, and the wider Muslim community. It is especially fitting in personal Du'a and after remembering parents who have died. The verse gives no fixed count.
The Arabic and meaning are paired with Quran 14:41. No special promise or count is added without a cited basis.
Qur'an recitation by Mishary Alafasy
Rabbana-ghfir li wa liwalidayya wa lil-mu'minina yawma yaqumu-l-hisab.
Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers the Day the account is established.
Ibrahim (AS) closes a series of prayers for Makkah, Salah, and his descendants with a request that reaches far beyond his own household. The wording teaches a generous order of concern without forgetting personal accountability.
Because it names the Day of Account, the prayer keeps forgiveness tied to the moment it will matter most. It is short, communal, and easy to make part of regular Du'a.
Who is included in this Du'a?
Its wording asks forgiveness for the person reciting it, their parents, and all believers.
Can I say it for deceased parents?
Yes. It is a direct prayer for their forgiveness and is suitable after their death.
