Transliteration. Allahumma-ghfir lihayyana wa mayyitina wa sha-hidina wa ghaa-ibina, wa sagheerina wa kabeerina wa zakarina wa unsana Allahumma man ahyaitahu minna fa ah-yihee 'alal. Islam, wa man twaffaitahu minna fa tawaffahu 'alal Iman. . Allahumma La tahrimna ajrahu wa la taftina ba'adahu. . Translation. O God forgive our living ones and our deceased ones, and those of us who are present and those who are absent, and our young ones and old ones, and our males and our females. . O God, those of us whom Thou grantest life keep them firm on. Islam, and those of us Thou causest to die, cause them to die in the faith. Deprive us not, O Allah, of the benefits relating to the deceased and subject us not to trial after him. . In the case of a child, the following Prayer is recited instead of the above mentioned: اللهُمَّ اجْعَلُهُ لَنَا سَلَفَا وَ نُرُطَا وَ اجْعَلُهُ لَنَا أَجْرًا وَ ذُخْرًا وَ اجمَلُهُ لَنَا شَافِعًا وَمُشَفَعَاهُ. Transliteration. Allahummaj'alho lana salafan wa furutan waj'alho lana ajran wa zukhran waj'alho lana shafi'an wa mushaffa'an. 55
