I spent most of my life addicted to drugs and alcohol, trying to fill the void in my soul. When I hit rock bottom I was introduced to recovery. In recovery, it was suggested that I take a look at my father, my relationship with him, and how much time I spend praying for Dad. My father was not a bad person. He fell into the disease of addiction and it took over his life.
Our dad was diagnosed. He needs a kidney and pancreas transplant. His wife died two years ago and he has been overcompensating for our emotional loss. We miss him terribly!!! We are suffering from grief, we don’t know how to move on!!! Please pray for miracles to change in our life.
Dad, you were there when I was playing in the yard, as a teenager and adult, and as a parent. Watching over me as I played outside, telling me to be careful while walking the dog, and praying with me on that hard day when my daughter was born. I love trying to remember the good times we had together and spending time with your granddaughters. I try to carry on your examples of character, integrity, hard work, humility, faithfulness and selflessness in my own life.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the lives of our fathers. We thank you for the ways they have been used by you to teach us about your love and grace and to conform us to your likeness. We thank you for their example, for the way they have shaped us into who we are today.
We pray that our hearts would be softened towards them as we remember all that they have done and continue to do from a place of gratitude.
Lord, heal any wounds in our relationship with our fathers and bring healing to any areas where there has been hurt or unresolved issues between us.

Prayer for Dad in Islam is one of the most beautiful and powerful prayers that you can recite for your father. It was revealed by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to his followers.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is said to have asked God to grant him a good son who will serve as a source of comfort for him in old age. He had a son named Ibrahim who died at a young age; however, he also had another son named Qasim who lived long enough to take care of his father when he became old and helpless.
The Prayer for Dad in Islam:
O Allah! Bless my father Muhammad and make me love him as You love him, and make me render thanks unto You for him as much as You love him and thank Him for You have gifted me with him and guided me unto his love after having guided me unto Your love through Your Messenger Muhammad so that I may be one of those who repent sincerely before You O Most Merciful of all those who show mercy O Most Merciful of all those

Allah (SWT) is the Most Merciful and He loves to forgive. He is also the most Loving and has a special place in His heart for His children. Our father’s are our role models, protectors, providers and friends. As children we look up to them as role models and learn from them how to live life. They teach us how to be good Muslims and help us understand what it means to be a Muslim. We pray that Allah grants us all good health and long life so that we can continue praying on them until they are no longer with us in this world.
Prayer For My Father: O Allah! You know that my father has been good to me and has been kind towards me; he has raised me since my childhood, so please grant him a long life so that he may continue to raise me until I become mature enough to take care of myself; make him well-off in this world so that he may not be dependent on anyone else; make him attain happiness both in this world as well as in the Hereafter; keep him away from all kinds of harm so that he may remain safe from all dangers of fit
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The parable of the believers in their affection, mutual kindness and compassion is that of one body; when any limb of it aches, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever.”
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “None of you believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.”
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “All mankind is a family of God, His children. The best among them are those who are best to their wives.”
Allah says in the Qur’an: “And always treat them kindly.” [Noble Qur’an 4:19]
My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction.”
This Dua not only asks for forgiveness for your parents but also for yourself and the entire Muslim ummah.
Transliteration: Rabbana ghfir li wa li wallidayya wa lil Mu’mineena yawma yaqumul hisaab
Translation: “Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and (all) the believers on the Day when the reckoning will be established.” Surah Ibrahim ayah 41
DUA FOR PARENTS HAPPINESS
In Surah Al-Ahqaf Verse 15:
“And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is thirty months. [He grows] until, when he reaches maturity and reaches [the age of] forty years, he says,
RabbiawziAAnee an ashkura niAAmataka allatee anAAamta AAalayya waAAalawalidayya waan aAAmala salihan tardahuwaaslih lee fee thurriyyatee innee tubtuilayka wa-innee mina almuslimeen
The translation or meaning of this Dua: “My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work righteousness of which You will approve and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims.”
This Dua not only asks for forgiveness for your parents but for youself and for your own children.
DUA FOR PARENTS HEALTH AND LONG LIFE
Seeing your loved ones go through sickness can be a very difficult. Most of what you can do is be there for support and let them know they are not going through it alone.
Uthman b. Abu al-‘As Al-Thaqafi reported that he made a complaint of pain to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) that he felt in his body at the time he had become Muslim. Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: Place your hand at the place where you feel pain in your body and say Bismillah (in the name of Allah) three times and seven times A’udhu billahi wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu was uhadhiru (I seek refuge with Allah and with His Power from the evil that I find and that I fear).
In another hadith narrated from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her)
that when the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to a sick person or a sick person was brought to him, he would say:
“Adhhib al-ba’s Rabb an-naas, wa’shfi anta al-Shaafi, laa shifaa’a illa shifaa’uka shifaa’an laa yughaadir saqaman”
(Take away the pain, O Lord of mankind, and grant healing, for You are the Healer, and there is no healing but Your healing that leaves no trace of sickness).” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5351, Muslim, 2191.
BE NICE TO YOUR PARENTS WHILE THEY ARE AROUND
“Every soul will taste death”
This quote from Surah Imran is very powerful. It’s a reminder, we are all going to die someday. It can be a scary thought (and maybe that’s why some avoid thinking about it) but it can also be very freeing.
Here’s a little mental exercise for you to try out. Next time you’re hanging out with family or friends think to yourself, this moment may be the last time you ever see any of them.
You may think that’s a sure way to depression or really morbid but I don’t believe it really is. Most people take life for granted because they just expect that tomorrow will come just like yesterday. But we all know this is not true, your brother, sister, mom or dad can and will pass away.
That’s unfortunately reality.
If in every moment we could briefly remember our demise I think we would grow to be more appreciative of living in the moment. I also believe we would be more patient and kind, if someone insults would you take it as personally if you didn’t operate with that perspective. Being able to take a step back and see the bigger picture allows you to deatch yourself from a knee-jerk reaction
Another benefit of this is since you’re constantly living in the moment, when the time inevitable time comes of a close one passing, we can take comfort that we didn’t take it for granted. That we tried to squeeze every experience out of that moment. Don’t get me wrong, grieving will still be tough but at least it wouldn’t be filled with regret which can linger.
3 Concluding Verses From Quran About Parents:
Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and be kind to parents. (Surah An-Nisa ayah 36)
Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him and be good to your parents. Whether one or both of them reach old age while with you, do not say to them even a mild rebuke and do not repel them but rather speak to them a noble word. Lower for them the wing of humility out of mercy and say: My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up when I was small. (Surah Al-Isra Ayat 23-24)
