Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I had a question for you if you can point me to the right answer or the person who can help answer:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How can a convert \u2018pray\u2019 or make dua for their *deceased* non-Muslim parents? My understanding is that we are unable to pray for their maghfirah, but is there a way to find a connection to your deceased non-Muslim parent?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As Muslims, we are encouraged to think well and care for others regardless of their religion.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Prophet SAW said:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All created beings are Allah\u2019s dependents, and the most beloved of people to Allah is the one who is good to His (Allah\u2019s) dependents.\u201d (1)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And thus, we are permitted to make dua for the guidance, well-being and health of others though we cannot pray for their forgiveness as their disbelief does not warrant them forgiveness nor entry to Jannah. (2)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We understand this from the incident of the Prophet SAW and his uncle Abu Talib. Though he was unsuccessful in bringing his uncle to Islam, he maintained that he will pray for his forgiveness but then Allah SWT sent the verse down forbidding believers from praying for the non-believers who have passed away.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives after it has become clear to them that they are companions of Hellfire.” (3)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Therefore, in response to your query, you may continue to care for and pray for the well-being and guidance of non-Muslim family members. Upon their death, we are unable to change their predicament or seek forgiveness on their behalf.<\/span><\/p>\n
