Question:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As per my understanding, the quranic dua that we say from Surah Ibrahim in the prayer:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u0631\u064e\u0628\u0651\u0650 \u062c\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0646\u0650\u064a \u0645\u064f\u0642\u0650\u064a\u0645\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0635\u0651\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0627\u0629\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0630\u064f\u0631\u0651\u0650\u064a\u0651\u064e\u062a\u0650\u064a \u0631\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0642\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064e\u0644\u0652 \u062f\u064f\u0639\u064e\u0627\u0621\u0650 \u0631\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0627\u063a\u0652\u0641\u0650\u0631\u0652 \u0644\u0650\u064a \u0648\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0650\u062f\u064e\u064a\u0651\u064e \u0648\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064f\u0624\u0652\u0645\u0650\u0646\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u064a\u064e\u0648\u0652\u0645\u064e \u064a\u064e\u0642\u064f\u0648\u0645\u064f \u0627\u0644\u0652\u062d\u0650\u0633\u064e\u0627\u0628\u064f<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

is not one of those integral or mandatory components of the prayer that cannot be omitted or altered i.e. it is an optional dua and thus even if one skips it, it would not invalidate the prayer.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Now my question is that if due to some reason, one decides to modify the words of this dua for instance change the word \u0648\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0650\u062f\u064e\u064a\u0651\u064e (my parents) to \u0648\u0627\u0644\u062f\u062a\u064a (my mother) or \u0648\u0627\u0644\u062f\u064a (my father), is there anything wrong with this or can I do this? I understand that one should ideally not change words of Quran and say them as they are, but if one feels that a particular parent, on the account of being highly abusive, does not deserve that one prays this dua for him or her in every prayer, can this justify this modification?\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n


\n<\/span>I personally feel that since one is not changing the words of the Quran during recitation (as in Qiyam) but in an optional dua, it should not be a problem, but I still felt asking an expert was important.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the<\/b>\u00a0Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is permissible to adopt the words of the Qur\u2019an for your personal duas, if it does not distort the meaning or context of the verse.<\/span> This is because when used in dua, the intention is not recitation of the Qur\u2019an but rather supplication to Allah.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For example, the verse:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u0631\u064e\u0628\u0651\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0622\u062a\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0651\u064f\u0646\u0652\u064a\u064e\u0627 \u062d\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0629\u064b \u0648\u064e\u0641\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0622\u062e\u0650\u0631\u064e\u0629\u0650 \u062d\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0629\u064b \u0648\u064e\u0642\u0650\u0646\u064e\u0627 \u0639\u064e\u0630\u064e\u0627\u0628\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0631\u0650<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Our Lord, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the Fire.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:201).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can say:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u0631\u064e\u0628\u0650\u0651 \u0622\u062a\u0650\u0646\u0650\u064a \u0641\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u062f\u0651\u064f\u0646\u0652\u064a\u064e\u0627 \u062d\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0629\u064b \u0648\u064e\u0641\u0650\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0622\u062e\u0650\u0631\u064e\u0629\u0650 \u062d\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0646\u064e\u0629\u064b \u0648\u064e\u0642\u0650\u0646\u0650\u064a \u0639\u064e\u0630\u064e\u0627\u0628\u064e \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0627\u0631\u0650<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

My Lord, grant me good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and save me from the punishment of the Fire.<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So if your intention is for dua, you can use the words of Quran as long as it does not distort the meaning of the Quran.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lastly, you should never leave your parents out of your duas, instead you should make dua for him\/her to be guided even if they are too harsh or not on the right path. We can take the example of the Prophet Ibraheem (peace be upon him) who made dua for his father to be guided.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is permissible to make du\u2019a using the Qur\u2019an because it serves the purpose of supplication if one does not intend its recitation, as mentioned in Al-Bahr al-Ra\u2019iq.<\/span><\/p>\n
