Dua for parents in English text

Allah s.w.t. says in the Quran:

وَوَصَّينَا الإِنسانَ بِوالِدَيهِ إِحسانًا

“We have commanded people to honour their parents.”

(Surah Al-Ahqaaf, 46:15)

Our parents have sacrificed a lot to raise us and we will never be able to repay them. Other than treating them kindly, one of the best things we can do is to constantly make sincere dua for them.
