Praying for others is a commendable and valuable act emphasized in the Quran.
The Holy Quran emphasizes the importance of prayer and its virtue, particularly praying for others. Prayer is regarded as an act of worship and a heartfelt connection with Allah, which has always been highlighted. In Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 60, Allah states: "And those who say, 'Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.'" This verse illustrates that believers are aware of the legitimacy and value of praying for others. Moreover, in Surah Ghafir, verse 55, Allah says: "So seek forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is Merciful and Affectionate." This verse not only mentions prayer for oneself but also refers to the impact of praying for others. The Islamic traditions also emphasize the reward of praying for others to the extent that it is said that when a believer prays for his brother, the angels pray for him as well. Thus, praying for others is not only a commendable and virtuous act but also holds special significance in Islam and can lead to divine blessings and mercy.
And those who say, 'Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.'
So seek forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. Indeed, my Lord is Merciful and Affectionate.
One day, a man decided to pray for his friends and family. He prayed for their well-being every day and noticed that everyone's lives improved. This experience reminded him that praying for others not only helps them but also brings peace to himself.
