The Grandeur and Excellence of a Father
Someone said: "You have left nothing for your children".
He رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ gave a splendid reply:
"If my children are disobedient to Allah, then it is not right to leave anything for them, as they will spend it on wrong things. And if they are obedient to Allah, then Allah will grant them from His hidden treasures, make them self-sufficient, and put blessings in their sustenance."[1]
A father is a shade-giving tree
Dear Islamic brothers!
Remember, a father is that shade-giving tree who takes the sun upon himself and provides shade to his children. He works day and night so that his children eat well. We do not realise it, but a father sacrifices his own desires to feed us and fulfils our requests. When a child is at the market and demands, “Dad, I want this,” the father realises he doesn’t have enough money in his pocket. However, as the child insists, the father still fulfils his child's wish by exceeding his budget.
Usually, there is shade under the leaves of a tree, but the tree itself is very hot from above because it takes all the sun upon itself. The same is the case with a father; he endures hardships himself while keeping his children and family immersed in blessings.
A father is a great blessing from Allah Almighty. It is the father who teaches his children to walk by holding their finger. A father always wants his son to progress. People usually feel envy when they see someone progress, but a father is that individual who feels proud when his son is successful. A father bears grief himself but does not allow his children to become sad.
If a child becomes demoralised or faces some difficulty, it is the father
