Looking after your parents is a sign of
success.
Not a sign of success in the akhirah.
No. It is a sign of success in
the dunya before the akhirah, or 12 qualities
of successful people.
One key quality
about that is to be a thankful person,
to be a thankful person, to know how
to say thank you to others. If you
don't know how to say thank you to
others, and you feel and you appreciate
others,
then there is a huge deficiency in your
personality,
and you will not be a true successful
person.
You need to fix
this point, this deficiency.
And subhan'Allah, if you would like to say
thank you to others, the first person to
say thank you to is
your parents,
is your mother, is your father.
If you don't know how to say thank
you to them, then it is very unlikely
that you will be able to say thank
you to others.
The first one that we need to be
thankful to is Allah
And then after
thanking Allah
we need to be thankful to our parents.
