Major Dutifulness [[--- Episode Two ---]]

 *Major Dutifulness*

[[--- Episode Two ---]]
--------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Service to parents is better than jihad *(using sword and got killed in the process)* for the sake of Allah the Almighty😳. Yes. This shows how important dutifulness to parents is.. This is confirmed in several hadiths which demonstrate the *priority* of this duty over all other considerations.

(1) Abdullah ibn Amr (r.a.) said: “A man came to the Prophet (PBUH) and asked his permission to take part in jihad. The Prophet asked him, ‘Are your parents alive?’ ‘Yes, they are,’ he replied. The Prophet told him, ‘Then exert yourself in their service *(meaning - go and take care of them)* ’”📚 (al-Bukhari).

(2) Abdullah ibn Masud (r.a.) asked the Prophet (PBUH): “What is next to piety?” The Prophet replied, *‘To be good and dutiful to your parents.’* He then asked, ‘What is next?’ The Prophet replied, ‘To participate in jihad in Allah’s cause’ ” 📚 (al-Bukhari).

(3) Talha Ibn Muaweya (r.a) narrated that he asked the Prophet (PBUH): “O Messenger of Allah! - I wish to make jihad in Allah’s cause.’ He asked me, ‘Is your mother alive?’ I said, ‘Yes!’ He then said, ‘Then stay by her feet, for there you will find paradise.’ 📚 Authentic Hadith

My people!

When we grow up as adults and form our own family, we understand better the role our own parents had when they were raising us up: the joy, the pain, and challenges that comes with having a family.

It's good to note that:

One of the benefits of being good and kind to parents is that goodness and kindness is passed on from one generation to another as the Prophet (PBUH) has said: "Be good and kind to your parents and your children will be good and kind to you." 📚 Authentic Hadith

Therefore,

One should do good to his/her parents and surely leaving them suffering despite having the capability of fulfilling their needs is sinful and punishable in this world and the next.

Today,

How many of us even call 📲 our parents on phone 2X in a week❓This is not fair❗ Keep in touch with your parents and update them on what's going on in your life.. Give them a call often, and ask how they are especially if you don't see them everyday or you live far from them.. You may not know how happier they may be (if you do this regularly).

Servants of Allah!

You spend *huge sum of money* monthly on taking care of yourself,, children and wife or husband BUT abandon your own parents in a sympathetic and sorry state.. And even what you sent monthly to them can not pay for the 🍰 biscuits and 🍷 drinks your children take to school for breakfast per month😀.Habbahh!

*Unreasonable Wives:*

Some parents have to *lobby* through the Madam of the house before getting something from their son... Habbahh❗And Madam, if you give birth to a male child and you are made to lobby through his wife before getting what you wanted, how would you feel❓Therefore Madam❗Your husband's parents have the right to enjoy his wealth and even morethan you do😳. Yes. This is the evidence:

Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allah (r.a.) said that a man said, “O Messenger of Allah, I have wealth and children, and my father wants to take all my wealth [to spend it on his own needs] and leave nothing.” The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “You and your wealth belong to your father.” 📚[Sunan Ibn Maajah]

سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك نشهد ان لا اله الا انت نستغفرك ونتوابوااليك

KNOWING ALLAH THROUGH HIS NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Al-Khamis. 12th day of Dhul-Qa'adah, 1444AH (Thursday, 1st June, 2023). *_KNOWING ALLAH THROUGH HIS NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES _*. BismilLah.  The first and most significant pillar of imaan (faith) in Islam is belief in ALLAH. As Muslims, we believe in ALLAH in accordance with HIS beautiful names and attributes. ALLAH has revealed HIS names repeatedly in the Holy Quran primarily for us to understand who HE is. Learning and memorizing the names of ALLAH will help us to identify the correct way to believe in HIM. There is nothing more sacred and blessed than understanding the names of ALLAH and living by them. How do we expect to worship, love, fear, and trust our Lord, The Almighty ALLAH, if we don’t know who HE is? ALLAH says in the Quran: And to ALLAH belong the best names, so invoke HIM by them.. (Quran 7:180). ALLAH, there is no deity except HIM. To HIM belongs the best names. (Quran 20:8). HE is ALLAH, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to HI
