🕌 Worship in the home · #136

Can I pray for my non-Muslim family, and what supplications are suitable?

You are welcome to pray for guidance and worldly good for your non-Muslim family while they are still alive. Ask Allah to open their hearts to the truth and to grant them health and safety. A child's prayer for their parents is deeply sincere and can often be a means of guidance. Accompany your prayers with kind treatment, because the two strengthen each other. As for specific prayers for those who have died as non-Muslims, the ruling is subtle and differs; consult people of knowledge for a precise explanation. Keep praying with full hope, because human hearts are in Allah's hands. See du'a & prayer.
