Message: <blockquote data-quote="sirajstc" data-source="post: 5792912" data-attributes="member: 91140">Assalalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu to all dear respected Brothers & Sisters, hope this messege reaches you in the best of health & imaan, Islamic teachings on the Importance of Parents Nowadays we see that hardly anyone cares about their parents, we got to remember these are the parents we loved when we were younger, these are the parents that have gone through everything to get us were we are today, these are the same parents that have always looked after us, fed us, clothed us, but how do we thank them? we thank them by shouting at them, swearing at them, never do the work they tell you to do, have you frogotten the times when they stayed awake for you all night because we were feeling uncomfortable, when we used to cry they used to wake up in the middle of the night just to fulfill our desires for a bottle of milk, so why should we treat them the way we are treating them today, we all need to start showing our love to our parents. wether they are young parents or old they are the same parents who used to have no money but somehow used to earn the money too feed us when we were babies. wether old parents or young remember the only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart so forget the age, wether they are old or young they still have the same heart that they used to have when we were little babies. so lets show some love back to them. they need to know that we havent forgotten their sleepless nights they have had for us. buy you parents something to shoe the love. This is the islamic prospective of how a muslim should treat parents according to the quran and sunnah.Say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. - Quran 17:23In Islam it is obligatory for us to show kindness, respect, and obedience to our parents. The position of parents, and the mutual obligations and responsibilities, have been addressed in Islam in great detail. In fact kindness and obedience is so strongly emphasized that Allah has linked showing gratitude to one's parents with showing gratitude to Allah - And We have enjoined on man (to be good) to his parents: in travail upon travail did his mother bear him, and in years twain was his weaning: (hear the command), "Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: to Me is (thy final) Goal. (31:14)Sadly we are living in a time where children speaking disrespectfully to their parents and about their parents, is the norm rather than the exception. However Islam places great emphasis on respectful and considerate behaviour to even our enemies, so to not uphold the obligations laid down by God to our parents is actually one of the major sins.In the QuranLet's see what the Quran says about Parents. This is the Book; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who fear Allah (2:02) Treat parents with honour & speak to them graciously & with humilityThy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: My Lord! Bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood. (17:23)Be grateful to parents but do not obey them if they strive to make you associate things with Allah...Be grateful to Me and to both your parents; to Me is the eventual coming. But if they strive to make thee join in worship with Me things of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not; yet bear them company in this life with justice (and consideration), and follow the way of those who turn to me (in love): in the end the return of you all is to Me, then will I inform you of what you did (31:15)These verses make it clear that we must honour our parents, appreciate their sacrifices and efforts for us, and do our best for them. This is required regardless of whether they are Muslims or not.Be good to parents and everyone else who you meetServe Allah, and join not any partners with Him; and do good- to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbours who are near, neighbours who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess: For Allah loveth not the arrogant, the vainglorious;- (4:36)If the Quran tells us to be good to a stranger how can we even think of disrespecting our parents?HadithsLet's see what Prophet Muhammad said about parents in the authentic Hadiths. Whatsoever the Prophet gives you, take it and whatsoever he forbids you, refrain from it. - Quran 59:7Disobedience to parents is a major sinAnas narrated from Prophet Muhammad about the major sins. He (Mohammed) observed: Associating anyone with Allah, disobedience to parents, killing a person and false utterance. (Muslim)One of the dearest deeds to Allah is being good & dutiful to parentsNarrated 'Abdullah: I asked the Prophet "Which deed is the dearest to Allah?" He replied, "To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times." I asked, "What is the next (in goodness)?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents"...(Bukhari) Being dutiful to parents is one of the keys to enter ParadiseAbu Huraira reported Prophet Muhammad as saying: Let him be humbled into dust; let him be humbled into dust. It was said: Allahs Messenger, who is he? He said: He who sees either of his parents during their old age or he sees both of them, but he does not enter Paradise (because he has been undutiful to them). (Muslim) Acts of kindness we can do for our parents after their death While we were with Prophet Muhammad of Allah. A man of Banu Salmah came to Him and said: Apostle of Allah is there any kindness left that I can do to my parents after their death? He replied: Yes, you can invoke blessings on them, forgiveness for them, carry out their final instructions after their death, join ties of relationship which are dependent on them, and honour their friends. (Abu Dawood)The High Status given to MothersA man came to the Prophet and asked him for permission to join a military expedition. The Prophet asked him if he had a mother, and when he replied that he had, he said, "Stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet." (Ahmad)SummarySometimes we may take our parents for granted and overlook their importance. As Muslims we should constantly be alert to guard ourselves from sins, however, are we guarding ourselves from one of the biggest major sins? Are we honouring and respecting our parents as per their right? Or are we neglecting one of the deeds most dearest to God? Right now the choice is ours!We ask Allah the Most High, the All-Powerful, to teach us that which will benefit us, and to benefit us by that which we learn. My Allah all mighty forgive us all for our sins that we have commited and may he grant us all the hidayah to abstain from the sins that are yet to come. May he forgive the marhoom & grant them jannah.AmeenAmeenWalaikumsalaam Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu</blockquote>
