After the third takbeera, du'aa is made upon the deceased. اللهُـمِّ اغْفِـرْ لِحَيِّـنا وَمَيِّتِـنا، وَشـاهِدِنا وَغائِبِـنا، وَصَغيـرِنا وَكَبيـرِنا،  وَذَكَـرِنا وَأُنْثـانا اللهُـمِّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْـتَهُ مِنّا فَأَحْيِـهِ عَلى الإِسْلام، وَمَنْ تَوَفَّـيْتَهُ مِنّا فَتَوَفَّـهُ عَلى الإِيـمان، اللهُـمِّ لا تَحْـرِمْنـا أَجْـرَه ، وَلا تُضِـلَّنا بَعْـدَه. O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those who are present among us and those who are absent, young and old, males and females. O Allah, whoever you keep alive, keep them alive upon Islam, and whoever you cause to die, cause them to die upon Imaan. O Allah do not deprive us of his reward and do not misguide us after him. [Abu Dawud – Sahih] اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ، وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقَّه مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ والـخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْـرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَأَهْلًا خَيْـرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، وَأدْخِلْهُ الْـجنَّةَ وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْـرِ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ. O Allah forgive him and have mercy on him, keep him safe and sound and pardon him, honor the place where he settles and make his entrance spacious; wash him with water, snow and hail, and cleanse him of sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. O Allah give him a house better than his house and a family better than his family. O Allah admit him to Paradise and protect him from the torment of the grave and the torment of the Hellfire. [Muslim] وَافْسَـحْ لَهُ في قَبْـرِهِ وَنَـوِّرْ لَهُ فيه Make his grave spacious and fill it with light. [Muslim] Lesson Date: 23/05/2022
