Tongue-Tied

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Before you do something to make your mother angry or might make her angry if/when she discovered it, you should fear how you will end up, and what if your mother is not by your deathbed? Remind yourself of this story.

Once, the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and grant him peace, approached a youth who was on the verge of dying, and said to him: “Say ‘There is no God except Allah.’ But the youth’s tongue appeared to be tied and he was unable to utter the words. When this took place several times, the Prophet said to a lady standing near the youth’s head: “Does this youth have a mother?” The lady replied: “Yes, I am his mother.” The Prophet asked her: “Are you angry with him?” She confessed: “Yes. I have not spoken to him for the last six years.” Hearing this, he said to her: “Be pleased with him.” She agreed and said: “O’ Prophet of Allah! For the sake of your pleasure, may Allah be pleased with him.” (Then, turning to the youth) he said: “Say ‘There is no God, except Allah’). (This time) the youth was able to recite the words and shortly afterwards, his soul departed his body.”

Narrated Anas ibn Malik, that Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, says,

Whoever has pleased his parents, he has pleased Allah and whoever has angered his parents, he has angered Allah.

The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, say,

Allah will not accept the prayers of the person whose parents are angry with him and their parents are not oppressors.

If you have made your parents angry or hurt them in any way, go and seek their forgiveness and make up to them before it is too late. If your parents have passed away, make du'a for them and give regular charity on their behalf, and hope and pray for Allah's mercy.

May Allah make us comfort to the eyes of our parents and grant us an excellent ending. Ameen.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
