Dear Islamic brothers! Parents always think good of their children. They want to do a lot for their beloved offspring but at times, their circumstances do not allow them to do so. Someone’s old father would still be working as labour instead of resting in order to earn a livelihood for his house.

Say ‘لَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللہُ’.’ He humbly said: ‘I am unable to say this.’ He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked: ‘Why?’ He humbly said: ‘I was
