How can orphans attain the parental satisfaction that brings success, and who will pray for them if they do not have children?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The satisfaction of one's parents is a primary cause for the satisfaction of Allah, and their displeasure is a cause for His displeasure. Their satisfaction is achieved during their lifetime, and after their death by supplicating for them, seeking forgiveness for them, giving charity on their behalf, maintaining ties with their kin, fulfilling their wills and covenants, and honoring their friends. If a person is not blessed with children, relatives and others can supplicate for them, and a Muslim's supplication for his brother earns the supplicant a reward equal to his supplication.
