A man approached the Prophet, asking, "Is there anything I must do in terms of kindness towards my parents after their death?"

Benefits of righteous children
The Prophet (salla lahu alayhi wa sallam) is reported to have said, "When a son of Adam passes away, he is cut off from his deeds except for three things: a current or perpetual charity, good knowledge that benefits someone, and a righteous child who makes du`aa' (supplication) for him."

I dedicate this post to my children. May Allah bless them, protect them, guide them and make them righteous Muslims so that they may pray for me after my death. Ameen!
