Praying for others is not only a sign of love and empathy but also strengthens social bonds.
In the Holy Quran, praying for the well-being of others is mentioned as one of the good and commendable actions. In Surah Al-Mu'minun, verse 97, Allah says, 'And say, my Lord, let me enter a good entry and let me exit a good exit.' From this verse, one can infer that praying for oneself and others is a significant aspect that relates to the ultimate goodness in this world and the Hereafter. Praying for others is a sign of love and collaboration within a community. In fact, the Quran emphasizes that a believer should consider others along with their own concerns. Surah Al-Furqan, verse 74 suggests prayer for righteous and good children and reminds us to think about others in our supplications and wish them well. Furthermore, the act of praying is framed as a social duty and support for each other. In other words, praying for others is a form of empathy and fosters stronger bonds among the members of a community. When an individual prays for another, it indicates that they care about each other's well-being and this shared prayer helps to strengthen human and social relations. Ultimately, praying for others can also lead to forgiveness of sins and increased divine mercy upon the supplicant. Therefore, praying is beneficial not only for others but also for ourselves.
And say, 'My Lord, let me enter a good entry and let me exit a good exit.'
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.'
