00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 
			It's a point that many people don't speak
00:00:02 --> 00:00:02 
			about,
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04 
			or if they do,
00:00:05 --> 00:00:08 
			it's perhaps not stressed as being important.
00:00:10 --> 00:00:10 
			Learn
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12 
			to respect
00:00:13 --> 00:00:13 
			the elderly.
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18 
			And give them time of the day.
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22 
			Serve them. Greet them. Talk to them. Allah
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23 
			will have mercy on you.
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27 
			Learn to the elderly. You see someone a
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29 
			little bit older than you,
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30 
			offer them respect
00:00:31 --> 00:00:32 
			immediately, no matter what.
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36 
			And your parents are at the top of
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37 
			that list.
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41 
			Your mother or father, they may be unreasonable.
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43 
			Offer them respect.
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46 
			Speak to them with utmost respect. If you
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48 
			have to disagree with them, do so
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50 
			very respectfully.
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53 
			Bear that in mind because
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 
			then the mercy of Allah descends.
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59 
			The mercy of Allah descends when you respect
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00 
			those who are older.
