To love them even more
Assalamualaikum and Hi!!
While I was doing my parenting assignment, I came across this story. A story which I read few years ago and also touches my heart that it remains in me till now.
Enjoy!
Imam Zainul Abideen (Ali bin Hussain, the great-grandson of Prophet Muhammad): “It is also said that once a man came to the Holy Prophet Muhammad and asked: “I feed my parents, carry them on my back and clean them, have I fulfilled my duty towards them? The Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) answered: No, because, you are serving them in anticipation for their death while they served you wishing you a long life”.
Huhu. Let’s think again on how we treat our parents ya.
-praying harder everyday for them and for myself-

“And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: ‘My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small.’” (Quran 17:24)
