”My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house as a believer and the believing men and the believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction.”

رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًا

This dua can be recited

• To seek forgiveness of your sins
• To seek forgiveness for your parents and all the believers
• To invoke Allah for the destruction of the wrong-doers

This is the supplication of Nuh Alaihissalaam.

Listen to the recitation of this dua.

Allah destroyed all of those on the face of the earth who were disbelievers. Allah even destroyed Nuh Alaihissalaam’s (biological) son from his own loins, who separated himself from his father.

He (Nuh Alaihissalaam’s son) said,

(I will betake myself to some mountain, it will save me from the water. Nuh Alaihissalaam said: “This day there is no savior from the decree of Allah except him on whom He has mercy.” And waves came in between them, so he (the son) was among the drowned.)

(11:43) Allah saved the people of the ship who believed with Nuh Alaihissalaam, and they were those whom Allah commanded Nuh Alaihissalaam to carry with him.

Then he said,

(My Lord! Forgive me, and my parents, and him who enters my home as a believer,) Ad-Dahhak said, “This means, my Masjid.” However, there is no harm in understanding the Ayah according to its apparent meaning, which would be that he (Nuh Alaihissalaam) supplicated for every person who entered his house who was a believer.

Then he said,

(and all the believing men and women.) He supplicated for all of the believing men and women, and that includes those of them who were living and those of them who were dead. For this reason, it is recommended to supplicate like this, in following the example of Nuh Alaihissalaam, and that which has been reported in the narrations and well-known, legislated supplications.

Then, he said,

(And to the wrongdoers, grant You no increase but destruction!) As-Suddi said, “But destruction.” Mujahid said, “But loss.” This means in both this life and in the Hereafter.
