My Lord, have mercy upon my parents
Duas from the Qur'an
My Lord, have mercy upon my parents
رَبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا
Rabbi-rhamhuma kama rabbayani saghira
My Lord, have mercy upon them [my parents] as they brought me up [when I was] small.
Plain text (no diacritics)
رب ارحمهما كما ربياني صغيرا
Virtue: The supplication of dutifulness to one's parents.
When is it said?
This is a supplication from the Qur'an, and it has no appointed time — it may be said in any state. The most hopeful places for supplication are in prostration, at the end of the night, between the adhan and the iqamah, and after the obligatory prayers.
Where it comes in the litany
Dhikr number 18 of 27 in Duas from the Qur'an — read in the order they are said.
