The Grandeur and Excellence of a Father
treats another neighbour, at least then you would have cared for me a little.
Upon hearing the sorrowful words of the father, the beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ wept, grasped the son’s collar and said, اِذْھَبْ اَنْتَ وَمَالُکَ لِاَبِیْکَ “Go, you and your wealth belong to your father.”[1]
صَلُّوا عَلَی الْحَبِیْب! صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلٰی مُحَمَّد
Parents live for their children
Dear Islamic brothers! You heard that the beloved Prophetصَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ said that you and everything you own belongs to your father.
Today, some sons spend lavishly on themselves but are unwilling to place a few pounds in the hand of their old and weak father. Some give money to their old father out of pity, but not before taunting him numerous times.
We hear these phrases every day: "Dad, this money is mine, and this is yours", "How much more should I give? Why do you ask repeatedly? I gave you money just a few days ago! Have you spent the money already? Should I give you everything? Now don't ask for more money before the end of the month.”
The father's situation was that he was happy to feed us from his earnings. When we enjoyed his money, he never took it badly. He never said while feeding us that he would have to sell the house.
He would even withhold his own morsel to put it in our mouth. The father himself rarely wore new clothes, but he brought us new clothes and new shoes. Whatever we asked for, our father fulfilled it. Have we ever thought about when our father bought something for himself?
