THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a. 7th day of Jumaadal Awwal 1444AH (Thursday 1st December. 2022).
*_OBEDIENCE TO ALLAH SUPERSEDE ANY CREATION_*. BismilLah.
The Messenger to Mankind Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam said in an authentic hadith that “there is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to The Creator (ALLAH).
This short hadith basically means The right of The Creator takes precedence over the rights of the creation. So when anyone from the creation enjoins you to commit any act of disobedience, then obedience to them in that specific matter is actually disobedience to ALLAH, whereas disobedience to them in that specific matter is obedience to ALLAH. ALLAH (subhanahu wa ta’aala) says: …Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa (virtue, righteousness and piety); but do not help one another in sin and transgression. Quran 5:2.
The right of the parents upon their children is so great that ALLAH often mentions obedience to parents immediately after worshipping ALLAH alone. Yet even if your mother or father enjoins on you to commit an act of disobedience, then obedience to them in that specific matter is actually disobedience to ALLAH, whereas disobedience to them in that specific matter is obedience to ALLAH. So if your parents command you to worship other than ALLAH, or to buy them lottery tickets, to hand them a can of beer or a pack of cigarettes, accompany them to soothsayers, pastors etc.
*_May ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Mighty and the Majestic) grant us the ability to obey HIM and protect us from any disobedience to HIS Rules_*. Aameen.
