Muslimah-S
Seek The Almighty
The 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his
house along with his 45 years old highly educated son.
Suddenly a crow perched on their window.
The Father asked his Son, "What is this?"
The Son replied "It is a crow".
After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd
time, "What is this?"
The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a
crow".
After a little while, the old Father again asked his
Son the 3rd time, "What is this?"
At this time some ex-pression of irritation was felt
in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a
rebuff. "It's a crow, a crow".
A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he
4th time, "What is this?"
This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you
keep asking me the same question again and again,
although I have told you so many times 'IT
IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"
A little later the Father went to his room and came
back with an old tattered diary, which he had
maintained since his Son was born. On opening
a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the
son read it, the following words were written in the
diary :-
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on
the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My
Son asked me 23 times what it was, and
I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I
hugged him lovingly each time h e asked me the same
question again and again for 23 times. I
did not at all feel irritated. I rather felt affection
for my innocent child".
While the little child asked him 23 times "What is
this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying
to the same question all 23 times and when
today the Father asked his Son the same question just
4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.
So..
If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or
look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious
word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them. Be
considerate to your parents.From today say this aloud,
"I want to see my parents happy forever. They have
cared for me ever since I was a little child. They
have always showered their selfless love on me. They
crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the
storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the
society today".
Say a prayer to God,
"Oh God! Have pity on my Parents & they took pity on
me when I was young"
"I will serve my old parents in the BEST way. I will
say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no
matter how they behave inshallah."
"Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor." - Surah Al Isra (17:23).
