			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh my brothers and sisters, this is another verse from the
Quranic reflection series. And it is from Surah Al Baqarah.
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17 
			For
00:00:18 --> 00:00:35 
			me Falco bunny is raw eel at Abu Duna Illa, Allah will validate near Santa, I made a covenant with
the Israelites worship nun batalla, and be good to parents.
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 
			That's verse 83.
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43 
			This verse addresses the importance of treating parents well.
00:00:45 --> 00:01:27 
			The first point of reflection is that after Allah told us to worship Him alone, the very next
commandment was to be kind to our parents. This underscores the importance of treating our parents
well. We only have one set of parents, and we have a responsibility to treat them well as they
treated us when we were small. The second point of reflection is that Allah also says elsewhere in
terms of treating parents well, that we should not even say off to them.
00:01:31 --> 00:01:41 
			We should be most respectful to them. As the Prophet SAW salem said that the one who is not
respectful to our elderly is not a true Muslim.
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45 
			It's that serious.
00:01:46 --> 00:02:03 
			The third point of reflection, is that it goes without saying that we should keep our parents with
us, especially in their old age. We should serve them as they served us in our infancy.
00:02:04 --> 00:02:23 
			The Prophet SAW salem said the truly last is whoever is with his or her parents until they become
old and failed to attain Paradise by honoring and taking care of them. This is an opportunity for
Paradise.
00:02:25 --> 00:02:33 
			That's the greatest loss that lies ahead of us. If we don't look after our parents
00:02:34 --> 00:02:39 
			BarakAllahu li Walakum wa salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
