Question

My parents arent the best muslims in the world. They pray salat once in a while but they follow all of the other pillars of Islam. I pray for their hidayat InshAllah and I pray for them to recieve Jannah because they have been great muslim parents. Can I do Hifz so they will be garunteed Jannah? JazakAllah

Answer

Your intention for doing hifz must be for the pleasure of Allah. Your parents, Inshallah will receive what is known as (Sadaqatul Jariah) as stated in a hadith that when a person dies, all his actions terminate except 3 things. One of these 3 things is a pious son that makes Du'aa for them.

So Inshallah if you continue to make Du'aa , may Allah accept you duas for your parents and give them the highest status in Jannah . Ameen.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

What if a haafiz forgets the Qur'an?

“The responsibility of a haafiz is a great responsibility and neglecting this responsibility is extremely serious. It is imperative for the parents to encourage the child according to the child's capability and potential.”
