Third Takbeer,
3- After the Third Takbeer:
Make supplication (du’a) for the deceased. There are a number of recommended supplications from the Prophet (pbuh).
اللَّهمَّ اغْفِرْ لَه ُُ وَارْحَمْهُ، وَعَافِه ِِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ، وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ، وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّه ِِ مِنَ الخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَاراً خَيْرا ً مِنْ دَارِهِ، وَأَهْلاً خَيْرا ً مِنْ أَهْلِهِ، وَزَوْجَاً خَيْرا ً مِنْ زَوْجِهِ، وَأَدْخِلْهُ الجَنَّةَ، وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ القَبْرِ وَعَذَابِ النَّار
‘O Allah, forgive and have mercy upon him, excuse him and pardon him, and make honourable his reception. Expand his entry, and cleanse him with water, snow, and ice, and purify him of sin as a white robe is purified of filth. Exchange his home for a better home, and his family for a better family, and his spouse for a better spouse. Admit him into the Garden, protect him from the punishment of the grave and the torment of the Fire.’
اللَّهمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَشَاهِدِنَا، وَغَائِبِنَا، وَصَغِيْرِنَا وَكَبِيْرِنَا، وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا. اللَّهمَّ مَنْ أَحْيَيْتَه ُُ مِنَّا فَأَحْيِه ِِ عَلَى الإِسْلامِ، وَمَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَه ُُ مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّه ُُ عَلَى الإِيْمَانِ، اللَّهمَّ لا تَحْرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ، وَلا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَهُ
‘O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those present and those absent, our young and our old, our males and our females. O Allah, whom amongst us You keep alive, then let such a life be upon Islam, and whom amongst us You take unto Yourself, then let such a death be upon faith. O Allah, do not deprive us of his reward and do not let us stray after him.’
اللَّهمَّ إِنَّ فُلانَ بْنَ فُلان ٍ فِي ذِمَّتِكَ، وَحَبْلِ جِوَارِكَ، فَقِه ِِ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ القَبْرِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ، وَأَنْتَ أَهْلُ الوَفَاءِ وَالحَقِّ، فَاغْفِرْ لَه ُُ وَارْحَمْهُ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِيْمُ
‘O Allah, so-and-so is under Your care and protection so protect him from the trial of the grave and torment of the Fire. Indeed You are faithful and truthful. Forgive and have mercy upon him, surely You are The Oft-Forgiving, The Most-Merciful.’
اللَّهمَّ عَبْدُكَ وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، اِحْتَاجَ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ، وَأَنْتَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ عَذَابِهِ، إِنْ كَانَ مُحْسِنا ً فَزِدْ فِي حَسَنَاتِه، وَإِنْ كَانَ مُسِيْئا ً فَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْهُ
‘O Allah, Your servant and the son of Your maidservant is in need of Your mercy and You are without need of his punishment. If he was righteous then increase his reward and if he was wicked then look over his sins.’
Supplication for the advancement of reward during the funeral prayer
اللَّهمَّ اجْعَلْهُ فَرَطا ً وَذُخْرا ً لِوَالِدَيْهِ، وَشَفِيْعا ً مُجَابا، ً اللَّهمَّ ثَقِّلْ بِه ِِ مَوَازِيْنَهُمَا، وَأَعْظِمْ بِهِ~ِ أُجُوْرَهُمَا، وَأَلْحِقْهُ بِصَالِحِ المؤْمِنِيْنَ، وَاجْعَلْهُ فِي كَفَالَةِ إِبْرَاهِيْمَ، وَقِه ِِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ عَذَابَ الجَحِيْمِ
This supplication is made when the deceased is a baby/child (i.e. one not having reached the age of puberty).
After seeking forgiveness for the deceased, one can say:
‘O Allah, make him a preceding reward and a stored treasure for his parents, and an answered intercessor. O Allah, through him, make heavy their scales and magnify their reward. Unite him with the righteous believers, place him under the care of Ibraheem, and protect him by Your mercy from the torment of Hell.’
اللَّهمَّ اجْعَلْهُ لَنَا فَرَطا، ً وَسَلَفا ً وَأَجْرا.ً
Al-Hasan used to recite the opening chapter of the Quran (i.e. Al-Fatihah) over the child and then supplicate:
‘O Allah, make him a preceding reward, a prepayment and a recompense for us.’
According to how it was narrated from our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and Peace be upon him). Yaa Allah! forgive our living and our dead, those who are with us and those who are absent, our young and our old, our menfolk and our womenfolk.
Yaa Allah, whomever you give life from among us give him life in Islam, and whomever you take way from us take him away in Faith. Yaa Allah, do not forbid us their reward and do not send us astray after them.
Fourth Takbeer and pause for a little while,
4- Lastly after the 4th Takbeer:
And you should pray for all Muslims. Some scholars say to recite general supplications for yourself, family, friends, and all Muslims during this period.
5- And Finally end the prayer by saying one Tasleem to the right (‘Assalaamu ‘alaykum wa rahmat-Allaah’). Doing it on both sides as in regular prayer is also ok.
May Allah (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) forgive our shortcomings, and our dead ones. May Allah grant us Jannatul Firdaus.
Ameen!☝️
