Du’a of forgiveness for the deceased Muslims

In the Madani Halqahs of the weekly Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ of Dawat-e-Islami today, the ‘Du’a of forgiveness for the deceased Muslims’ will be taught. The Du’a is as follows:

(اَللّٰہُمَّ) رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ لِاِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِیْنَ سَبَقُوْنَا بِالْاِیْمَانِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ فِیْ قُلُوْبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّكَ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۠(۱۰)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: ‘O our Lord! Forgive us, and our brothers who accepted faith before us, and do not keep any malice in our hearts towards the believers. O our Lord! Indeed only You are Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.’ (Part 28, Al Hashr, Ayah 10)

Note: The word “اَللّٰہُمَّ” is not the part of the abovementioned Quranic Ayah.

Method of collective Fikr-e-Madinah (72 Madani In’amaat)

Saying of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم: Pondering (over the Hereafter) for a moment is better than the worship of 60 years.

(Al-Jami’-us-Sagheer, pp. 365, Hadees 5897)

Let’s make “good intentions” before filling in the Madani In’amaat booklet:

  ۔1To please Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, I will carry out today’s Fikr-e-Madinah (i.e. self-accountability) myself through the Madani In’amaat booklet and persuade others as well.

  ۔2I will praise (i.e. thank) Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for the Madani In’amaat which I practised.

  ۔3I will regret the Madani In’amaat which I did not practise and try to act on them in the future.

  ۔4Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ forbid, if I have not acted on any such Madani In’aam which saves a person from the sins, I will make a firm intention of not committing sin in the future, along with making repentance and Istighfar.
