  1. This is a beautiful prayer, Mashallah. Thanks for posting.
    Also, the du'a in Sahifa Sajjadiya for parents is very beautiful. http://www.duas.org/sajjadiya/s24.htm

  2. Thank you! When I first converted someone gave me a little prayer booklet that had this in it - the book was printed in India or Africa and was probably 40 years old when I got it, but I still use it and try to hold it together as it slowly disintegrates.
