Allahummaj'al hadha sadaqatan jariyatan 'an walidayy
O Allah, make this an ongoing charity on behalf of my parents.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him." This du'a turns any good deed into ongoing charity for your parents — whether alive or deceased. It can be said when donating, building, teaching, or doing any act of goodness.
