The story of Juraij and lessons from it

 The story of Juraij and lessons from it 

Alhamdulillah,

As reported from the hadith;

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "A woman called her son while he was in his hermitage and said, 'O Juraij He said, 'O Allah, my mother (is calling me) and (I am offering) my prayer (what shall I do)?' She again said, 'O Juraij!' He said again, 'O Allah ! My mother (is calling me) and (I am offering) my prayer (what shall I do)?' She again said, 'O Juraij' He again said, 'O Allah! My mother (is calling me) and (I am offering) my prayer. (What shall I do?)' She said, 'O Allah! Do not let Juraij die till he sees the faces of prostitutes.' A shepherdess used to come by his hermitage for grazing her sheep and she gave birth to a child. She was asked whose child that was, and she replied that it was from Juraij and that he had come out from his hermitage. Juraij said, 'Where is that woman who claims that her child is from me?' (When she was brought to him along with the child), Juraij asked the child, 'O Babus, who is your father?' The child replied, 'The shepherd.' " (See Hadith No 662. Vol 3).

This tells us the importance of the Dua of a mother. No matter the righteousness of a person, if he defied the command of his mother and she makes Dua upon him, definitely, that supplication will come into effect.

Even if our parents are disbelievers, they still have rights upon us as parents and we need to be obedient to them except when it is disobedience to Allah and his Messenger
