Allaahumma salli alaa Muhammadin wa alaa aali Muhammadin, kamaa sallayta alaa Ibraaheema wa alaa aali Ibraaheema, innaka Hameedun Majeed. Allaahumma baarik alaa Muhammadin wa alaa aali Muhammadin, kamaa baarakta alaa Ibraaheema wa alaa aali Ibraaheema, innaka Hameedun Majeed.
3- After the Third Takbeer: Pray for the dead but according to how it was narrated from our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and Peace be upon him).
اللهمَّ اغفر لِحينا و مَيّتِناَ و شاهِدنا وغائبِنا و صغيرنا وكبيرِنا وذَكَرِنا وأُنثَانَا اللهم مَن احيتَهُ منَّا فأَحيهِ على الإسلام ومَن تَوَفَّيتَهُ مِنَّا فَتَوفَّهُ على الإيمان – رواه الترمذي
Allahumma-ghfir lihayyina wa mayyitina, wa shahidina wa gha’ibina wa saghirina wa kabirina, wa dhakarina wa unthana. Allahumma man ahyaytahu minna fa ahyihi ^alal-Islam, wa man tawaffaytahu minna fa tawaffahu ^alal-’iman.
This means: “0 Allah, forgive our dead and alive, our present and absent, our young and old, our male and female [Muslims]. 0 Allah, whomever among us You gave life, let him live with Islam. Whomever among us You took life from, let him die with Iman (Faith)”.
4- Lastly after the 4th Takbeer:
Say as-salamu :
assalamu ^alaykum wa rahmatullah
while turning the head to the right, then to say it while turning to the left.
May Allah (Sub-haanahu wata aala) forgive our shortcomings, and our dead ones. May Allah grant us Jannatul Firdaus. Amen
