Dua for Sick Parents.

By Ustadha Fahmina

Dua for Sick Parents: dua for sick mother,dua for sick father

When your parents are ill, turning to Allah for help and comfort is one of the most powerful actions. Here are meaningful duas to ask for her healing, while placing your trust in Allah’s mercy and wisdom.

Dua is a powerful tool of communication with Allah, especially in times of illness. When your mother or father is unwell, making sincere dua on her/his behalf can bring not only comfort and healing but also peace of mind. Our Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu alaihe wa sallam encouraged Muslims to make dua in times of distress, trusting in Allah’s plan and mercy.

• Spiritual Connection: Dua strengthens your bond with Allah and reminds you of His presence in difficult times. When you call upon Him for your mother’s healing, you are placing your trust in His infinite wisdom and power.
• Emotional Support: Illness can be emotionally challenging, both for the person who is ill and their loved ones. Making dua provides emotional solace, helping you cope with the stress and worry that comes with caring for a sick mother.
• Reliance on Allah’s Mercy: Illness is a test, and in every test, there is an opportunity to seek Allah’s mercy. Through dua, you show your reliance on Allah, understanding that healing and recovery are ultimately in His hands.

Dua for Sick Parents

“‏ أَذْهِبِ الْبَاسْ رَبَّ النَّاسْ وَاشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي لاَ شِفَاءَ إِلاَّ شِفَاؤُكَ شِفَاءً لاَ يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا ‏”‏ ‏.‏

“Adhhibil-bas, Rabban-nas, washfi Antash-Shafi, la shifa’a illa shifa’uka shifa’an la yughadiru saqama ” 

 (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).” Sunan Ibn Majah 3520.

 Life is a Test 

Life has its own rules. As I am growing up and becoming mature, I see you, my dear Parents getting your grey hairs and getting caught with those Diabetes and Hypertension Monsters. It is so saddening to hear you are not well at times. I wish to See you and be by your Side. Alhumdulillah the technology has made it Possible to communicate as If we are Sitting side by Side and It is relieving to see you Everyday. I wish I could become your Best Medicine. I Wish Allah Could  make me a Source of Immense Reward to you. May Allah ease your distress and lessen your Pains.

I acknowledge that Life is a Test.Among the trials with which Allah tests His slaves in order to distinguish the believers from the disbelievers is that which He mentions in the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):

“And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Saabiroon (the patient).Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: ‘Truly, to Allaah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.They are those on whom are the Salawaat (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones”[al-baqarah 2:155-157]

Allaah tests us, sometimes with calamities and sometimes with blessings, to show who will be thankful and who will be ungrateful, and who will obey and who will disobey, then He will reward or punish them on the Day of Resurrection:

“and We shall make a trial of you with evil and with good. And to Us you will be returned”[al-Anbiya’ 21:35 – interpretation of the meaning]

O Allah,Make Me and My Parents and all the People of My Ummah Pass this Test. Ameen.

Dua for Sick Parents from Hadeeths

• 1)Hadrat Aishah (r.a.) reports that the prophet (saws) used to seek refuge in Allah for some of his family members. He used to touch them with his right hand, saying:

Allahahuma Rabbin nas adhhabal ba’sa, ashfi wa antashafi, la shifa’ illa shifa’uka shifa’ la yughadiru saqma

(O Allah! The Sustainer of mankind! Remove the illness, cure the disease. You are the One Who cures. There is no cure except Your cure. Grant (us) a cure that leaves no illness.)Related by Bukhari and Muslim.

• 2)’Uthman ibn Abu Al-‘As relates that “once he complained of pain in his body to Allah’s Messenger (saws). The Messenger of Allah (saws) him, said: ‘Put your hand where you feel pain in your body and say, “bismillah (in the name of Allah),” and say,

“A ‘udhu bi ‘izzatillah wa qudratihi min sharri ma ajidu wa uhadhiru (I seek refuge in the might of Allah and in His Power from the evil that I find and that I fear),” seven times’.” ‘Uthman continued: “I did that a few times and Allah removed my pain. I always advised my family and others to do the same.”Related by Muslim.

When you have any pain, put your hand where you feel pain, then say: Bismallaha’udhu bi’izatillah min shari ma ajidu min waj’i hadha (In the Name of Allah! I seek refuge in Allah’s might from the evil of this pain.) Then remove your hand, and repeat the same for an odd number of times. Then he said to me that Anas ibn Malik had told him that Allah’s Messenger (saws) had taught this to him.”Related by Tirmidhi.

• 4)Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas reported that the Prophet (saws) said: “When someone visits a sick person whose time of death has not come, and says seven times: As’alu Allah al ‘azim Rabbil arshil azim an yshfiaka (I ask Allah, the Mighty, the Lord of the Mighty Throne, to cure you,) Allah will cure him of that illness,Allah Willing.”Related by Abu Daw’ud and Tirmidhi.

• 5)Yahya related from Malik from Rabia ibn Abi Abd ar-Rahman from Umm Salama, the wife of the Prophet (saws), that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said, “If a misfortune befalls some one and he says, as Allah has ordered, We belong to Allah and to Him we are returning. O Allah, reward me in my misfortune and give me better than it afterwards, Allah will do that for him“

allahumma’ jurniy fi musiybatiy, wa a qibhiy khayran minha, illa faala ‘llahu dhalika bihi.).Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 7575 Narrated by Anas bin Malik
