Death & Afterlife

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا

Allahummagh-fir li-hayyina wa mayyitina wa saghirina wa kabirina wa dhakarinaa wa unthana wa shahidina wa gha'ibina

O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, our young and our old, our males and our females, our present and our absent.

SahihAbu Dawud 3201, At-Tirmidhi 1024

Part of the Janazah (funeral) prayer du'a. It covers every possible category of Muslim: living, dead, young, old, male, female, present, absent. No one is excluded. When you say this at a funeral, you are not just praying for the deceased — you are praying for the entire Ummah at once. It is one of the most inclusive du'as in the Sunnah.
