Looking after your parents is a sign of

00:00:03 --> 00:00:03

success.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

Not a sign of success in the akhirah.

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

No. It is a sign of success in

00:00:08 --> 00:00:11

the dunya before the akhirah, or 12 qualities

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

of successful people.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

One key quality

00:00:14 --> 00:00:17

about that is to be a thankful person,

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20

to be a thankful person, to know how

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

to say thank you to others. If you

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

don't know how to say thank you to

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

others, and you feel and you appreciate

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

others,

00:00:28 --> 00:00:31

then there is a huge deficiency in your

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

personality,

00:00:32 --> 00:00:35

and you will not be a true successful

00:00:35 --> 00:00:35

person.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

You need to fix

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

this point, this deficiency.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:43

And subhan'Allah, if you would like to say

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

thank you to others, the first person to

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

say thank you to is

00:00:49 --> 00:00:50

your parents,

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

is your mother, is your father.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

If you don't know how to say thank

00:00:55 --> 00:00:58

you to them, then it is very unlikely

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

that you will be able to say thank

00:01:00 --> 00:01:01

you to others.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

The first one that we need to be

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

thankful to is Allah

00:01:07 --> 00:01:08

And then after

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

thanking Allah

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

we need to be thankful to our parents.
