How and when to say them

Many people keep the du'ā for parents after every prayer. It can be said for parents who have passed away as well as those still living.

Every du'ā above can be heard aloud. Where the words are Qur'an, the Arabic comes from the Quran.com API and is shown exactly as served, with a link into the muṣḥaf.
