📖 Introduction
Losing a loved one is never easy. As Muslims, one of the most beautiful gifts we can give them after they leave this world is dua — a heartfelt prayer asking Allah ﷻ to forgive their sins and grant them Jannah.
The Prophet ﷺ said: “When a person dies, all his deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah, knowledge from which benefit is gained, and a righteous child who prays for him.”
