Du'aa for Janazah (Prayer for Funeral)
Part of the Janazah Masterpost
A du'aa is subjective and can be anything. However, I have provided below the most common du'aa used for janazah prayers, are this covers most things. Extra du'aas can be recited as well if the deceased is a child.
Duaa for Adults (and multiple deceased).
Transliteration:
Allah hummag firli hayyina, wa mayyitina,
wa shaa hidina, wa ghaa ibina,
wa sagheerina, wa kabeerina,
wa zakarina, wa unsana,
Allah humma man ahyay tahoo minna fa-ahyee alal islaam,
wa man tawaffay tahoominna fatawaf fahu alal imaan.
Translation:
Oh Allah! Forgive those of us alive and those of us dead.
Those of us whom are present, and those of us who are absent.
Those of us whom are young, and those of us whom are adults.
Or men and our women.
Oh Allah! Whomsoever you keep alive, let him live as a follower of Islam,
and whoever's life you take, let him die as a believer!
Duaa for Children.
Transliteration (Boy):
Allahummaaj'alhu lana fartan
waj'alhu lana ajran wa zukhran
waj'alhu lana shafi'an wamushaffa.
Transliteration (Girl):
Allahummaj'alha lana fartan
waj'alha lana ajran wa zukhran
waj'alha lana shafi'atan wamushaffa'ah.
Translation:
Oh Allah! make this child for our means of preservation
and make them a source of rewards and treasure for us
and make them a pleader for us and one whose pleading is accepted.
