There is no sin upon you, nor any shortcoming in your duty towards your father - may Allah have mercy on him - for these are the decrees of Allah. Strive in supplicating for your father for forgiveness and mercy; for this is the greatest benefit to him after his death. Be the righteous child who supplicates for him, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When a person dies, all his deeds come to an end except for three: a continuous charity, knowledge from which benefit is derived, or a righteous child who supplicates for him."
