Billions of Virtues in 5 seconds
Our dear Allah’s Prophet Muhammad (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم) has always advised us to work for the betterment and welfare of all creatures especially the Muslim Ummah . Allah (سبحانه و تعالي) loves us when have courtesy for others. Even if we just move our tongue to pray for the Ummah, this act is also highly rewarded by Allah (سبحانه و تعالي) . The great virtue of asking forgiveness for all Momin ( Faithfull ) men and women is written in the following Hadith.
Note: There is a slight difference in the meaning of Momin and Muslim which can be understood at “Difference between Muslim and Momin”.
عن عبادة بن الصامت قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وآله وبارك وَسَلَّمَ:
“من استغفر للمؤمنين والمؤمنات كتب له بكل مؤمن ومؤمنة حسنة“
(رواه الطبرانى فى الكبير)
حضرت عبادہ بن صامت ؓ سے روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم) نے فرمایا:
جو بندہ تمام ایمان والوں اور ایمان والیوں کے لئے اللہ تعالیٰ سے مغفرت مانگے گا اس کے لئے ہر مومن مرد و عورت کے حساب سے ایک ایک نیکی لکھی جائے گی۔ (معجم کبیر للطبرانی)
On the authority of Ubadah bin Al-Samit, he said :Allah’s Prophet Muhammad (صلي الله عليه وآله وبارك وسلم), said:
“Whoever asks forgiveness for believing men and women, a good deed will be written for him for every believing man and woman.” (Al-Tabarani in Al-Kabeer) .
How to ask forgiveness for the Faithfull
First of all, we should know how to start and end Dua and then the most important thing about any supplication is that we are doing with great concentration and devotion.Dua or Supplication, is not just saying words without knowing what we are asking for and from whom we are asking. Allah swt does not accept the dua of a person who is just moving his tongue without any attention and concentration towards Allah swt. This is told in the following hadith also.
ادْعُوا اللهَ وأنتمْ مُوقِنُونَ بالإجابةِ ، واعلمُوا أنَّ اللهَ لا يَستجيبُ دُعاءً من قلْبٍ غافِلٍ لَاهٍ
أخرجه الترمذي (3479)
Pray to Allah while you are sure that your pray-yer will be accepted.And know that Allah does not accept the prayer from a heart which lacks interest . [ Jamia Tirmizi 3479]
So ,like all Duas, whenever we ask forgiveness for the faithful, we should do it with our hearts and mind together. We can do it in any language like :
“Ya Allah , Ya Rabb please forgive all the Faithful men and Faithful women . Ameen”
But the best words would be from Quran. Like the following two forgiveness Duas for the Faithful by two Prophets.
- Forgiveness Dua by Prophet Ibrahim (A.S)
- Forgiveness Dua by Prophet Nooh (A.S)
#1 Forgiveness Dua by Prophet Ibrahim (A.S)
رَبَّنَا اغۡفِرۡ لِىۡ وَلـِوَالِدَىَّ وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ يَوۡمَ يَقُوۡمُ الۡحِسَابُ (14:41)
اے ہمارے رب میری مغفرت کر دیجیئے اور میرے ماں باپ کی بھی اور کل مومنین کی بھی حساب قائم ہونے کے دن (14:41)
Our Lord! forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day whereon will be set up the reckoning. (14:41)
#2 Forgiveness Dua by Prophet Nooh (A.S)
This Dua separately includes parents and all family members
رَبِّ اغۡفِرۡلِىۡ وَلِـوَالِدَىَّ وَلِمَنۡ دَخَلَ بَيۡتِىَ مُؤۡمِنًا وَّلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ وَالۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِؕ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ اِلَّا تَبَارًا (71:28)
اے میرے پروردگار مجھ کو اور میرے ماں باپ کو اور جو ایمان لا کر میرے گھر میں آئے اس کو اور تمام ایمان والے مردوں اور ایمان والی عورتوں کو معاف فرما اور ظالم لوگوں کے لئے اور زیادہ تباہی بڑھا (71:28)
My Lord, grant pardon to me, and to my parents, and to everyone who enters my home as a believer, and to all the believing men and believing women, and do not increase the wrongdoers but in ruin.(71:28)
How to get maximum benefit from this
Include all living & passed away Muslim Humans & also Jinns
To get maximum benefit from the Dua of forgiveness for Muslims ,make sure that you are including all the following Muslims:
- All living Muslims who are more than 1.9 Billion at present.
- All Muslims who have passed away.
- All Faithful Muslims from the Jinn (Arabic: جن, jinn) who are living or passed away. (According to Islamic scholars, their number is much more than Human beings. Allah knows how many Billions of Jinn are among the Faithful).
- Especially our parents and family members.
Asking forgiveness for all the living and passed away Faithful Humans and Jinns, the number of virtues exceeds tens of Billions
or even more.
The best time to ask this dua
- Forgiveness Dua by Prophet Ibrahim (عَلَيْهِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةُ وَٱلسَّلٰمُ) . Quran 14:41
- Forgiveness Dua by Prophet Nooh (عَلَيْهِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةُ وَٱلسَّلٰمُ). Quran 71:28
After Fajar (morning Salah) and after Assar (3rd Salah of the day)
Better to read 100 times Forgiveness Dua by Prophet Nooh (عَلَيْهِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةُ وَٱلسَّلٰمُ). Quran 71:28… after Fajar Salah and after Assar Salah since any deeds done in both these time will be granted the rewarded of doing the same deed in the remaning time of the day (according to Sahih Hadith)
رَبِّ اغۡفِرۡلِىۡ وَلِـوَالِدَىَّ وَلِمَنۡ دَخَلَ بَيۡتِىَ مُؤۡمِنًا وَّلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ وَالۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِؕ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ اِلَّا تَبَارًا (71:28)
اے میرے پروردگار مجھ کو اور میرے ماں باپ کو اور جو ایمان لا کر میرے گھر میں آئے اس کو اور تمام ایمان والے مردوں اور ایمان والی عورتوں کو معاف فرما اور ظالم لوگوں کے لئے اور زیادہ تباہی بڑھا (71:28)
My Lord, grant pardon to me, and to my parents, and to everyone who enters my home as a believer, and to all the believing men and believing women, and do not increase the wrongdoers but in ruin.(71:28)
May Allah (سبحانه وتعالي) make this writing beneficial for me, my family and everyone . Ameen (رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ )Ameen (الهم صلي علي سيدنا محمد وعلي آله واصحابه وبارك وسلم). You might be interested in “Thanking Allah Subhanahu billions of times” .
