Qur’an – Surah Al-Isra (17:24)

وَقُل رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا

Translation:

And say, “My Lord, have mercy upon them as they raised me when I was small.”

Explanation:

The Qur’an reminds us not to forget the sacrifices our parents made during our childhood. Supplicating for them is an act of gratitude and spiritual loyalty. This prayer is not limited to after their death; it is equally important during their lifetime. It strengthens the emotional and spiritual bond between child and parent and acknowledges their nurturing role as a reflection of divine mercy.
