messenger of Mercy lived by them embodied the teachings of the

Today I want to talk about our what we owe towards our parents.
This is one of the important topic that we need to be always
reminded.
And this is very, very highly crucial in the Islamic way of
life, the system the worldview, and the ethics and morality that
Islam teaches us.

same, repeated throughout the Quran in so many ways.

parents Wirkkala Buka you will no decrease has decreed that you
shall worship noon but him
and that you shall be both to your parents. You shall honor your
parents, but the word used here is or Bill Wiley they near Santa to
excel in doing good to excel in ordering parents to excel in
performing your duty towards your parents is a worry Asami the
ultimate as we have explained in our previous quarter was the
highest level of spiritual realization in Islam is the stage
of a facade. So Allah warned us not just to honor our parents, not
just to be good to our parents, but Excel. In doing so.

Hola como fim, don't speak to them harshly.
But choose your words were called Lola and her OMA not rebuffed
them.
Rather speak to them in the gentleness of terms in the kindest
of terms.
What waffler Omar Jana has already been on Rama, a lower the wing of
humility to them out of compassion
and say pray. Rob Durham, uma Kamara, Bharati, Solera, my Lord,
have mercy on my parents, even as they nurtured me when I was little
when I was small.
And then Allah follows it up this order, followed up by another, you
know, in direct warning to us, Rambo calm Allah will be morphine
for Chico. You will Lord knows what you are concealing your
hearts and your minds.
In the corner, Sally Hina. If you are really good people righteous,
sincere in your devotion to Allah subhanho wa Taala and doing work
for a new Canary lavabo fora, you may make some mistakes here and
there in treating your parents, if you did, but if you're basically
good, and righteous and God fearing
as long as you return in repentance, and ask forgiveness,
God will be forgiving
and the indirect one in URIs. Watch out. God is watching the
same thing when Allah subhanaw taala or a ordains. The husbands
how to treat their wives. Remember allies hearing of lies watching so
we are accountable. So the greatest moral duty, the first and
foremost commandment in Islam,
as Allah has decreed in the Quran, and each and every scripture, as
we are told in the Quran,
the decree issued to every single prophet or messenger
beginning from the first man or the Malays, Salam to the last
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam. The first commandment is that we
shall worship none but Allah subhanaw taala and the second
commandment is honoring our parents.
The Quran repeats it throughout in different ways.
In surah, Al Akbar and ALLAH SubhanA wa Tala and is Coulibaly
wide awake, the commandment is be grateful to me, alas, one
autolysis to to him when he validate
and to your parents.
So, this is a very, very important commandment repeated throughout in
the Quran. And the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam has
reinforced it
in so many words, because sunnah is an exploration. The prophet is
the best interpreter of the Quran. And the Prophet sallallahu sallam
was asked, and blood Masuda, one of the eminent companions of the
Prophet asked him
what is the best deed I can ever hope to do in this world?
You can the question is of the Sahaba
you know, this is the kind of questions you hear the Sahaba
asking one after the other how we can get to Jannah how we can get
closer to Allah subhanaw taala what is the best deed I can do in
this world?
So this is the question. So the Prophet sallallahu wasallam said,
a Salah truly worked here. It is to pray at the appointed time.
Why? Because our duty to a loved one or what Allah is the number
one duty we owe in this world, the moral ethical duty because God
Creator as we all wish to worship him, it's our own for benefit. God
doesn't need our worship. God doesn't benefit from our worship
or good deeds. We benefit ourselves. So it is to pray at the
appointed time. Not whenever you want. Not whenever you are free.
Whenever you're you're at leisure, and when you have your finish or
the comforts or the other frivolous things, no praying at
the appointed time.
And what is next? The Sahabi asked
as soon as the Sallalahu himself Bill roadworthy. It is kindness it
is honoring, it is doing good to your pet
hence.
And the same way the prophets of Allah Islam was asked, what is the
deadliest sin in Islam?
He said a Kabbalah Kabbalah refer us
the three most deadly sins in Islam.
Ah, number one is associating partners with a loved one with
the opposite, because first duty to worship Allah subhanaw taala.
So, of course, the sin is your failure to worship Allah subhanaw
taala and you're doing associated parties with a loved one.
And number two is cocoa why they
displeasing one's parents
calling their anger to wrath.
And the Prophet Sir, will Allah feel unwanted the
Allies please, when your parents are pleased with you?
Allah is angry when your parents are angry with you. Of course,
this is assuming that the parents are God fearing parents are kind,
caring, have done their duty of nurturing you with loving
kindness.
This is assumed this is understood in Islam, that the parents have a
duty to show mercy to the children. And
and we need to recognize I will do two parents by being grateful
first to allows one author and secondly to our parents and the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam. So therefore, any failure any
deliberate attempt on our part, to the spiritual parents will bring
the Wrath of Allah subhanaw taala and the warning of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam is very, very severe. He said La Jolla the
whole region Mehta. One who has died, incurring the anger and the
wrath of his parents, by displacing them by rebelling
against them, will cannot hope to go to Jannah.
Because even shirk is an unforgivable sin and you know,
Rococo wanted in unforgivable sin. Of course, if he made a mistake
and turn in repentance allows one or may forgive us, and that Allah
already said, if you are basically good,
your intention is sincere, but you made a mistake.
You will hurtful words, then we need to return in repentance,
because khulumani Yada Mahato are human beings are liable to make
sins and mistakes.
Were higher or Hatoyama at our bone. The best sinners are those
who are ever turning in repentance to allow us one oh Tyler. So there
is a room for repentance, there is a room for good gaining the mercy
and forgiveness of Allah subhanaw taala. But we need to do
everything on our part, you know, by doing what Allah subhanaw taala
order us and also, refraining from behavior and being utmost humbled.
Treating parents how do we what do we owe them? This is the question
we must ask. We owe them kindness, we owe them to treat them with
dignity and respect.
We owe them mercy.
We cannot
speak harshly with them especially when they become older. That's why
if they are trained to old age,
if they reach old age, then don't speak harshly with them. Because
they may be returned they were irritating in the way they behave.
But so don't
be harsh. Bear it
patiently. And you know the Sahaba Rizwan Allah Allah him, you know,
they were very, very sincere in the way they responded to the
message of Allah subhanaw taala. This kind of or Ordinance of a
loved one or to Allah, because Allah
commanded us to speak to our parents in the gentleness of terms
and lower the wings of humility, wing of humility, out of
compassion. We hear a lot of crazy stories of the Sahaba a warrior or
the lover knew the greatest joy for him was he pray to Rasul Allah
asked Rasulullah Bedrosian to pray that his mother is also guided to
Islam. So of course rasool Allah pray for her guidance, and she
embraced Islam
and this was the greatest joy for a warrior in his life. And then
when the last one or the Lord how we should speak to our parents, he
very out of the way, you know, every day, he will start his day
by visiting his mother.
And, you know, greeting her and asking how are you, mother? If you
read anything, and he will use the softest turn
the voice he would speak, the person who heard Him speak to his
mother thought, This man is sick, because he cannot raise his voice.
Because what Article Loma ofin don't speak to them harshly. So
he's using the gentleness and is lowering his voice so that he
doesn't want to disrespect her or dishonor her.
So this is we need to another important thing in Surah la
Cabana, Allah subhanaw taala said, because some of the believers,
early companions, they embraced Islam, their parents did not. So
the question came, how do they open it into the parents were
pagans? And the answer came through the revelation.
When Jehovah aka Eve, they force you to worship anyone but Allah
subhanho wa Taala don't obey them. But at the same time was Hi boo
Moffat dunya ma rofa. Treat the most honorably, with dignity,
dignified way, in all matters relating to this world, serve
them, take care of them, sit with them, and remove whatever you can
do to remove the discomfort do so. So Islam reaches a very high level
of, you know, ethical and moral obligation teaches us towards our
parents. So we allow swallow to help us
to as long as our parents are alive,
to be extremely kind towards them, to do everything to make their
life easy for them, and refuse to treat them except in with dignity,
and ordering them. And also always praying to Allah subhanaw taala
for them.
Once a person comes to Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam and says, Is
there anything I owe my parents after they are dead? The Prophet
of Mercy said yes surely you over to them to pray for them
to fulfill their promises, and pay their debts if you can, and also
foster the ties of kinship and honor their friends. So these are
some of the things that the Prophet recommended, of course, so
we all wit, poor parents, to be kind to them, and to pay respect
to them to be respectful to pray for them while they're alive, as
well as when they die. A holy holy ha the worst tofu lady welcome
