love our parents :)

:: Assalamualaikum ::

The most essential duty of a Muslim child (no matter how young or old you are!) is to show kindness and respect towards his or her parents. This can be in a form of many things; from kind words to warm hugs! In fact, Allah has commanded us to be kind to our parents in his verses, so it’s an important duty that should be taken seriously.

Related verses from the Quran:

“Your Lord has ordained that you must not worship none but Him, and that you must be kind to your parents” [Al-Isra 17:23]

“And worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him and be good to the parents…” [An-Nisa 4:36]

“We have advised the human being, ‘Be kind to your parents’” [Al-Ankabut 29:8]

Related hadith:

Narrated by Ibn Mas’ud (r.a): “I asked the Prophet (pbuh): What is the most beloved deed in sight of Allah, the Almighty?” He (pbuh) said: “Offering salat in due and prescribed time.” I then asked: “What is next?” He said: “Kindness to one’s parents.” I further asked: “What is next?” He (pbuh) said: “Jihad for the cause of Allah” [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

The best way to treat your parents is to continuously make doa’ for them! Make duo’ in your prayers or sujud, whenever you thinking or missing her, or even the times when they are in your presence. May Allah bless our beloved parents and grant them Paradise, amin!

“Rabbi-r-hamhumaa ka-mma rabbayaa ni sa-ii-ra”

Doa’ for parents in the Quran:

“Be humble and merciful towards them and say, ‘Lord, bestow Your Mercy upon them as they cherished me in my childhood’” [Al-Isra 17:24]

Don’t wait for special occasions to show your appreciation towards your loving parents! There are many ways to show your appreciation to them; like giving flowers, free back massage, cards, cook their favourite food, and many many others (within your capability and creativity!) And remember, everytime you do, do it with the right “niat”, and full with sincerity. In the end you’d just want to please Allah and make your parents feeling joyous :)
