Duas for Ali Banat

Allahummaghfir lahu warhamh

((اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ، وَعَافِهِ، وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ، وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ، وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَاراً خَيْراً مِنْ دَارِهِ، وَأَهْلاً خَيْراً مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، وَزَوْجَاً خَيْراً مِنْ زَوْجِهِ، وَأَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ القَبْرِ [وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ])).

Allahummaghfir lahu warhamh, wa ‘afihi wa‘fu ‘anh, wa akrim nuzulah, wa wassi‘ mudkhalah, waghsilhu bil-ma’i wath-thalji wal-barad, wa naqqihi minal-khataya kama naqqaytath-thawbal-abyada minad-danas, wa abdilhu daran khayran min darih, wa ahlan khayran min ahlih, wa zawjan khayran min zawjih, wa adkhilhul-jannah, wa a‘idhhu min ‘adhabil-qabr [wa ‘adhabin-nar].

O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, keep him safe and pardon him. Make his welcome generous and his place of entry wide. Wash him with water, snow and hail, and clean him of his sins as white cloth is cleaned of dirt. Give him in exchange a better home, a better family and a better spouse than those he had. Bring him into Paradise, and save him from the torment of the grave [and the torment of the Fire].

Said in the funeral prayer. For a woman, “lahu” (for him) becomes “laha” (for her).

Allahummaghfir lihayyina wa mayyitina

((اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا، وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا، وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبيرِنَا، وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا. اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ عَلَى الْإِسْلاَمِ، وَمَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ عَلَى الإِيمَانِ، اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ، وَلاَ تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ)).

Allahummaghfir lihayyina wa mayyitina, wa shahidina wa gha’ibina, wa saghirina wa kabirina, wa dhakarina wa unthana. Allahumma man ahyaytahu minna fa-ahyihi ‘alal-islam, wa man tawaffaytahu minna fatawaffahu ‘alal-iman. Allahumma la tahrimna ajrah, wa la tudillana ba‘dah.

O Allah, forgive those of us who are alive and those who have died, those who are here and those who are not, the young and the old among us, our men and our women. O Allah, whoever of us You keep alive, let him live by Islam, and whoever of us You take, let him die with faith. O Allah, do not deny us the reward for him, and do not let us go astray after him.
