Once there was an old father sitting in his garden, and alongside him his teenage son. The following is an account of what took place. Let us put ourselves this time in the teenager's position, how would we have reacted?....
Father: "My dear son!"
Son: "Yes dad!"
Father:"What is that on the tree?"
Son: "Dad it's a bird."
(10 minutes later)
Father: "My dear son!"
Son: "What!!"
Father:"What is that on the tree?"
Son: "I just told you it's a bird."
(10 minutes later)
Father: "My dear son!"
Son: "What!!"
Father:"What is that on the tree?"
Son: "What you playing at huh?? I told you once ITS A BIRD!!!
A minute late father walks off to get something whilst the teenager mutters under his breath
"Honestly! Old people just chat!"
Father returns with dusty leather bound diary and places it with a specific page opened...
The father looked at the young grown man and said:
"O my son i wanted you to see the difference, an so I have. When you were small your voice was a pleasure; to speak to you brought joy and laughter to you and your mother. Now as i have become old and weak my voice is not so sweet to you, it does not bring that happiness I wished to see..."
How many parents are the victims of verbal and sometimes physical abuse from their own offspring?
Let them be heard by all, in no uncertain terms, the words of the best of mankind Muhammad bin Abdullah Sallalahu Alayhi Wassala:
"Allah ta'ala delays whatever he wishes from the punisments of various sins, except the sins of disobeying the parents for verily Allah ta'ala afflicts the punishment in this world before a person dies"

Today my beloved 4 year old son asked my no less than 35 times about a bird perched upon our tree as to what is was.
Each time i gave the very same reply in exactly the same sweet tone:
"O my beloved son that is called a bird"
"O my beloved son that is called a bird"
"O my beloved son that is called a bird"
"O my beloved son that is called a bird"
"O my beloved son........"
