When it is our turn to serve them, we should do so considering it a great blessing.

Fortunate is the child who gets the opportunity to serve their parents. Otherwise, many parents do not even give the opportunity to serve; they pass away from this world while serving us. A person says, "I didn't even get a chance. Until the very end, my father continued feeding me, my father continued being kind to me, my mother kept being kind to me. We weren't even given a chance to serve them."

Most unfortunate is the one who had the opportunity to serve his father or mother and then says, "I am troubled because of this old man or old woman. Should I spend so much money on my parents?" Shame on such offspring who consider serving their parents a burden.

It is a blessing for our money that it gets spent on our parents because they spent on us their whole lives, didn't they? Whatever they gave, they gave. Whatever we are, and the honour, fame, and wealth we received, all this is the blessing of our parents, and a father plays a huge role in this, but our state is such that sometimes we do not even thank our father.

"My mother feeds me, my mother gives me drink, my mother embraces me, my mother brings me everything.” But just think, who gives money to the mother? Who is earning and bringing it home? A father is the pillar of the entire household, but no one thanks him or understands his hardship.

A father is the benefactor of the entire household and a shade-giving tree for the whole family, who toils tirelessly, provides us shade, and showers us with blessings. Whatever we have belongs to our father. Observe a very touching incident from the blessed era of the beloved Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ :
