The greatness and status of parents

 The greatness and status of parents

The most sincere for a person is his parents, who not only raise their children while suffering all the sorrows and problems themselves, but also want to see them on the highest levels of development, therefore special emphasis is placed on the greatness of parents, but Among the nations and religions of the world, Islam has defined the most rights of parents and the greatest dignity of parents. It is narrated on the authority of Hazrat Abu Umamah that a person asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) how much right do parents have over their children? The Prophet (PBUH) said that they are your heaven and hell. That is, if you obey and serve your parents and please them, you will go to heaven, and on the contrary, if you disobey and harass them and anger them and show their heart, then your abode will be hell. I will be. There is a hadith on the authority of Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas, may God bless him and grant him peace, who said that the pleasure of God is in the pleasure of the father, and the displeasure of God is in the displeasure of the father. The meaning and meaning is that whoever wants to please his master and creator should please his father. To obtain the pleasure of Allah Ta'ala, the consent of the father is a condition, and the displeasure of the father is the inevitable result of the displeasure of Allah. But it should be remembered that if the father gives an order against the Sharia, it is not necessary for the children to obey this order, but even then it is important to continue to respect and serve the father.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA) that a person asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that who has the most right to serve me and treat me well? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Your mother, then I say your mother, then I say your mother, then your father has the right, then your closest relatives, then those after them. I am a close relative. The same blessed hadith is also mentioned in Jami Tirmidhi and Sunan Abi Dawud. From this hadith, it is known that the mother's right to serve and be kind to the father is more important than that of the father, because in many places, with the emphasis on good behavior towards the parents, the sufferings and troubles of the mother were specifically mentioned. It is what the mother has to bear especially during pregnancy and childbirth and then during breastfeeding and rearing. It was narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said, "Let that man be humiliated, let him be dishonorable, let him be disgraced." It was asked: Who is the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)? That is, about whom has this been said? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Unfortunate is the one who finds his parents or one of them in old age and then cannot attain Paradise by serving them and making their hearts happy.

Undoubtedly, mothers and fathers are the great blessings of nature, they play an important role in the child from birth to his education and training and enable him to live in society, guiding him at every step, giving him all the warmth and warmth of the time. They protect them as if they dedicate their lives to it, but unfortunately, when the children grow up, they leave the parents alone. Although at this time they need it more. A famous incident is that a man persecuted his parents so much that the mother died and the father became old and suffered from a dangerous disease. This man did not stop persecuting his father at that time and thought of getting rid of him. He picked up the sick father and went to throw him in a deserted well. On the way, the father said, "Son, stay for a while, rest yourself and listen to one of my words." So he made the sick father sit on the ground. That I, the son, also threw my father i.e. your grandfather into the same well. Hearing this, the young man was surprised and when he thought about it, he trembled and saw his end. The young man repented there and returned home with his father and continued to serve him for the rest of his life. According to the saints, looking at the face of their parents with love is worship for children. If you see the face of the friendship of Allah Ta'ala, then it is written as a Hajj Mabarur, that is, Maqbool, in his deeds, and Allah Ta'ala forgives him. In the present era, in many places, children have a very strict attitude towards their parents and mothers. If the father advises, it is definitely not obeyed. Such disobedient persons should remember the stages of their birth and also how their parents taught them to walk, taught them to speak, nurtured them and thanks to the great services of their parents, they got this position and status today. May Allah grant us the ability to serve our parents and fulfill their rights, Ameen.
