O Allaah, whoever You keep alive, keep him alive in Islam, and whoever You cause to die, cause him to die with faith. (O Allaah, forgive our living and our dead, those who are present among us and those who are absent, our young and our old, our males and our females. The wordings of Salat upon the Prophet (PBUH) are:Īllahumma salli ala-Muhammad wa ala aal-e-Muhammad, kama salayta ala Ibrahim wa ala aal-e-Ibrahim innaka Hameed-um-Majeed Allahumma barik ala Muhammad wa ala aal-e-Muhammad, kama barakta ala Ibrahim wa ala aal-e-Ibrahim innaka Hameed-um-Majeed.Īllahum-maghfir li-hayyina wa mayyitina wa shahidina wa ghaibina, wa saghirina wa kabirina, wa dhakarina wa unthana Allahumma man ahyaytahu minna fa ahyihi alal-Islam wa man tawaffaytahu minna fatawaffahu alal-Iman.Īllahumma la tahrimna ajrahu wa la tudillana ba’dah.
