Surah 14. Ibrahim, Ayah 41
| رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ |
| Transliteration | : | rabb -naa ighfir li- -y wa- li- waalidai -ya wa- li- al- mu'minen yawm yaqom al- h.isaab |
| Pickthall | : | Our Lord! Forgive me and my parents and believers on the day when the account is cast. |
| Asad | : | Grant Thy forgiveness unto me, and my parents, and all the believers, on the Day on which the [last] reckoning will come to pass!" |
| Malik | : | Our Rabb! Forgive me and my parents and all believers on the Day when the accountability will take place." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | "O our Lord! cover (us) with Thy Forgiveness me my parents and (all) Believers on the Day that the Reckoning will be established!" 1919 1920 1921 1922 |
Note - 1919Read again n. 1912 above. Having prayed for his progeny,
Abraham now prays for Allah's grace on himself, his
parents, and the whole Brotherhood of Faith, irrespective
of family or race or time, to be perfected in the ideal
of Islam.

Note - 1920For the shades of meaning in the different words for
Forgiveness, see n. 110 to ii. 109.

Note - 1921My parents. Abraham's father was an idolater (xliii. 26;
vi. 74). Not only that, but he persecuted the Faith of
Unity and threatened Abraham with stoning and exile (xix.
46); and he and his people cast him into the Fire to be
burned (xxi. 52, 68). Yet Abraham's heart was tender, and
he prayed for forgiveness for his father because of a
promise which he had made (ix. 114), though he renounced
the land of his fathers (Chaldea).
|
Note - 1922At the final Reckoning, all that may seem inequality or
injustice in this world will be redressed. But the merits
of the best of us will need Allah's Grace to establish us
in that lasting Felicity which is promised to the
righteous. And Abraham, as the father of Prophecy, prayed
for all,-for the Universal Faith perfected in Islam.
