ADAB TOWARDS PARENTS

 

بِسْـــــــــمِ اَللّهِ الرّحْمن الرّحيم

Assalamualaikum W.B.T and hye everyone, Welcome back to my blog :)

How was your day? I hope you are having a great day ;) Nice to see you here again.

So as usual today I will come out with the topic of Adab Towards Parents that have been presented by group 1 on week 7 of usrah session.

Before that, let's watch this video together, a beautiful reminder from brother Yasir Qadhi. 

Let's Go Back To Our Parents

 As mentioned in the qur'an, Allah says;

And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents…” (Al-‘Isra’:23)

In the above verse, Allah (SWT) places duty to the parents next to singling Him out in worship, which truly emphasises the high status He has given our parents. Furthermore, when one of the companions asked the Prophet (SAW) about the deeds most beloved to Allah (SWT), after mentioning performing prayers upon their stated times, he mentioned being good and dutiful to one’s parents. (Bukhari)

MY REFLECTION REGARDING THIS TOPIC..

1. We have to respond imediately to their call

Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (RA) and other scholars have discussed that responding to the call of one’s parents while performing voluntary prayer takes precedence over continuing. Why? The reason scholars gave was because “…he was offering a voluntary prayer and continuing with it is voluntary and not obligatory, whereas answering one’s mother and honouring her is obligatory, and disobeying her is forbidden…” (Fath al-Baari by al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar)

2. We have to always making Du'a for them.

The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “When a person dies, all his deeds are cut off except three; an ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, and a righteous child who prays for him” (the deceased).” (Muslim)

Making du’a for the forgiveness of deceased parents is an exemplification of excellent adab towards them, since it is one of the three ways in which they benefit after death.

3. We should offer them our company

When a man came to the Prophet (SAW), swearing allegiance to him for emigration and jihad, the Prophet (SAW) asked him if his parents were alive. When he replied in the affirmative,

 The Prophet (SAW) questioned him again, asking him: “Do you want to seek reward from Allah?” Once again, the man replied in the affirmative. The Prophet (SAW) then instructed the man to: “Go back to your parents and keep good company with them.” (Bukhari & Muslim)

4. We must always do good with them

-Prefer them over everyone and everything.

-Praise their efforts & achievements. After all, you are one of them!

- Always start with them,  when serving food, giving gifts etc.

-Choose your words well when speaking to them.

 

- Never raise your voice over theirs, speak quietly & softly.

-When you greet them, kiss their hand, head etc.

and so many other ways you can do to treat your parents better.

May Allah enter our parents to the highest Heaven "Jannatul Firdausi'' on the day of judgement, Aameen :')

As of now I think that's all from me, hopefully this sharing will be matters and beneficial for you guys.
