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.
“ 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.
I have Come Across two Dua from Quran that you can Make:
“My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small.” [Quran; Surah Al-Isra, Verse 24]
“Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and (all) the believers on the Day when the reckoning will be established.” [Quran: Surah Ibrahim, Verse 41]

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