Transliteration:( Rabbanagh fir lee wa liwaalidaiya wa lilmu'mineena Yawma yaqoomul hisaab )
91. Here 'parents' refers to the actual parents of Hazrat Ibrahim (On whom be peace), namely his father Tarrukh and his mother Mitla bint Namr, both of whom were believers. In his old age, he had prayed for their forgiveness, i.c. after the birth of his two sons. Azar was his distant uncle with whom he was already disgusted in his youthful years. Azar had died an infidel.
The Holy QUR'AAN usually refers to parents, grand parents, uncles, etc. with the words ABB - literally means father and UMMliterally mother. However, the word 'parents' is used to denote actual parents.
92. From this emerge a few issues:Â
1. Dua should be commenced for oneself,
2. Your parents should be included in it;
3. Pray for the well-being of all Muslims;Â
4. Always pray for the good in the Hereafter, do not limit your prayer to the good of the world only.

53. Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) included his mushrik father in his prayer because he had made promise that he would pray to his Lord for his forgiveness (Surah Maryam, Ayat 48). But afterwards, when he realized that he should not pray for his forgiveness because he was an enemy of Allah, he absolved himself of that promise. (Surah At-Taubah, Ayat 114).
