Dear brothers and sisters,
Today,
I will be talking about
a topic.
All of us, we are in need of
this topic.
We really need to learn
how to be kind and to be nice
toward everybody
around us,
especially
our parents.
Are dealing with our parents with
the birthing,
we will not be able to do that.
We have only 2 verses in the entire
Quran
talking about it better and came only with
the prophets
us will be able to fulfill the promise
with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And this is
why Allah
have mercy upon us, and He did not
command us to deal with the bire.
But it's a famous
war to
say, but there is no a single word.
The inner Quran commanded us to deal with
our parents with the bear.
But Allah
commanded
us to do what?
Like, when we say,
It's a huge difference in Arabic language
when you
say a sentence
to to
do only a certain way,
which is
when Allah commanded you to worship him
only alone,
not to worship anyone or anything with him,
almighty.
And after that, what?
Meaning,
And this is the only one
condition that Allah
gave permission
for
mankind
to
and to be kind and to be nice
to all those parents.
There is no other
condition in the Quran that we are not
compared
with him
with any other thing except
to be kind and to be nice toward
your parents.
And you should lead
while you were in the mosque.
And this is the topic that we really
we need to
rethink
in our life
how we can deal with our parents
even if they're still alive. May Allah
miss them or if they pass away. May
Allah help them with this message.
This is what we need to learn today.
I know most of us memorize the verses
talking about
kindness toward parents.
But really, I would like to touch
few
things
and more details
about
how to deal with your parents.
And this is what we need to do.
We don't need to for
the hadith of Rasulullah, alaihis salam,
and to the Quran. And we do not
really practice
like our beloved prophet Muhammad
And
this is what we need to learn today.
Allah
says, It's not allowed to worship anyone except
Allah.
If you are praying,
if you are fasting,
if you are doing all the work in
Baghdad, and you are not kind towards your
parents,
it's nothing.
Allah will reject it. Allah will not accept
it from your side.
And be careful.
This is the gate that Allah opened for
you
to enter into paradise,
to be kind, and to be nice. I'm
not saying do not pray.
I'm not saying do not
fast. I'm not saying do not do our
in our debt, but you have to have
both of them together in the same level
like Allah's
It's not in our places.
It will be so kind if you have
a rental place for your parents, old respected
parents, but Allah doesn't need that.
He said, aim in the head
at your house
of treatment for them will be
safe. Don't say toward them of do you
know what that means?
But
when you're in,
feel tired
and just
to let the air comes out of your
mouth
without control.
Even you did not pay attention for that
word
off, like this.
And in English, they translate
it to the word of.
It's
not a word.
And this is the
Allah
did not use it. This is the lowest
word you can
explain about the situation when you deal between
you and your parents.
And Amas Al Qaeda give us another stage.
Attention
sometime
when we deal with our parents.
When
the the dad or mom become old
and the
child
become powerful,
and when they have discussions
together,
and the son will tell you that, no.
It's not your
feel a very bad condition even if he
will not
explain for you
what he has right now. But this is
the whatever to Anne told us.
What happened to her woman? Someone say, I
will really control my tongue, control myself.
I will honor my parents in very good
way, but I cannot
say it will work for them. No.
Allah told
us,
You're gonna put yourself
on the tribe to see how you're gonna
react,
how you're gonna deal with the
teachings of the Quran?
Yeah. Test
yourself. How are you gonna deal with your
mom or your dad?
And
this is the same way.
This is the teaching way
how to act with them.
And Am Mustafa Ali
described
the relationship between the son or daughter with
their parents
as a parent with,
you know, the young parents.
And
lower your winds.
With the medicine.
This is
what we miss.
Even when we talk to our people, sometimes
we try to raise our neck up. Subhanallah,
who you are?
You are not
without your parents' help.
You will not teach what you have today
unless if your parents, they sacrifice themselves and
their time and their will
to make you as you are right now.
And you have to remember that
you have to make jazam with
ihsan.
This is
just at least.
You need to pay back
for them.
We're not talking about the world
or about
the good deeds now. No. You need to
pay back what they
did for you
when you was a child,
when you was young.
The first meaning,
when
the bird
feel
that
has less power than our
this is the point. When you feel that
you have much power than your dad or
your mom,
don't forget
that you had a very weak condition in
the past,
and they did
not take you in bad way or rude
way.
They spend
the possible things to make you happy
and raise you. And when you have the
situation right now,
you are
much
stronger than them.
Wealthier than them,
more wise than them because this is the
condition that Allah has created us. Allah
raise your voice or raise your decision
about them.
You have to
declare all the time
that you following them, their decision, their advice,
their demands.
This is the first meaning. The second meaning,
when the bird fear
that
the young bird, it's not secured
And to try to cover them to make
a shell around the young bird.
And this is the second meaning that Allah
wants us to learn.
When you feel that your dad and
you need to put them under your shell,
under your wings,
and protect them. Don't let any condition harm
them as long as
you have
your
breath in the mouth.
Your prophet.
Your mercy is not enough to reward your
parents, and this is why we ask Allah
to shower them with His mercy.
Whatever you did for them, it's not enough.
This is why Allah mentioned,
and say, oh my lord,
You will not be able to cheat our
paradigm.
You might act as a most pious person
on front of people.
He's
very kind toward his dad or his mom.
But Allah knows what we have in our
intentions.
We need to change our
it's cute. We need to change our intention
if we have that intention
to show up in front of the people
of the community.
When
the
prophet
took us to be kind and be nice
toward our parents,
how are we gonna deal with it?
Now, your dad or your mom
has very old age, and they stay in
your house, or they came to visit you,
and they did something wrong
at your house.
They think your wife will let it go,
young man,
you know,
he tried to feed his dad,
and his dad couldn't
control his hand, and he dropped the food
on
the glove of his son.
What is your
reaction when you have the same similar situation?
You know, Allah is your witness.
Don't don't deceive yourself because you cannot deceive
Abbas
If we try to deceive anyone, we will
not deceive
deceive except ourselves. And
what is your reaction if your dad or
your mom really
drop the food on your body or on
your cloth?
And that young man,
you know, he stopped eating the food,
you know, from his
clothes.
And he told his dad,
oh my dad,
you
as you visit me.
See how he changed the situation,
you know. Don't embarrass your dad or your
mom. Don't embarrass your parents.
Just find the solution
to say
their
and their
dignity.
This is what we need to learn.
And another another
young man,
he was laying down under his mother's feet.
Who
disputes himself away from his dad. Even
he might kill his dad or his mom
because they did not prepare a good life
for him.
And
is this the good way to treat our
parents?
And this is why
Allah combined
between
and to be nice and to be kind
to all
your parents. May
Allah help us out
to stay fervent our religion and to understand
our religion and to act as a real
believers.
