In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum
Dear Friends
I pray that you are well.
How blessed are those with parents who are still living. But so many children don't realize this. They don't visit their parents, they don't keep in touch with their parents, and they rather be around their friends than being around their parents. The nicer ones don't even think twice about moving far away from their parents, be it for work or study. There are people when their parents occasionally visit them, they can't wait for their parents to leave. This is the situation of many families in our communities and societies.
If you have a parent(s), your parent(s) is NUMBER ONE after Allah and His Messenger, Allah bless him and grant him peace. Part of obedience to Allah and His Messenger, Allah bless him and grant him peace, is pleasing our own parents.
The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and grant him peace, told us that with one loving glance to our parents, we can easily attain the reward of hajj without going through the hardships of Hajj.
Narrated Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with son and father, that the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
There is not a single child who does birr to his parents and looks at them in a merciful way that Allah writes the reward of hajj for every glance. A companion asked, 'even if he looks at them a hundred times a day?' The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, answered, 'Allah is greater and better than that.'
Even with all our problems, always look at our parents with a smiling face so they are always pleased with us, and we get the tremendous reward.
May Allah make our children and our offspring from among the righteous. Ameen.
Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.
And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
