When we were young, we loved to play with our Mum and Dad. When we grow up, many of us leave them and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents are always there and give everything they could just to make us happy.
It is time to really evaluate what kind of relationship we have with our parents. Below are few questions that may help:
1. When was the last time you visited your parents if not living with your parents?
2. When was the last time you called your parents if not living with your parents?
3. Do you think your parents are happy with you? IF not then there is a Serious Problem and you need to correct IMMEDIATELY.
4. Have you ever said "Ugf (Oh!)" to your parents? Don't forget the following Ayaat:
"And your Lord has commanded that you shall not serve (any) but Him, and goodness to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say not to them (so much as) "Ugh" nor chide them, and speak to them a generous word. And make yourself submissively gentle to them with compassion, and say: O my Lord! Have compassion on them, as they brought me up (when I was) little." Noble Qur'an (17:23-24)
5. What is it that your parents really wants to have, is that against the Noble Qur'an and Authentic Sunnah? IF not then there is a Serious Problem and you need to correct IMMEDIATELY.
6. What are the things that make your parents happy or sad?
7. How many minutes do you engage in "quality talk" with your parents in a week if not in a day?
8. When was the last time you cooked for your parents?
9. When was the last time you gave your parents a gift?
Lovely Stories: I Love You Mother! (Happy Mothers Day, Islam and Parents)
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner or refreshment. She said, "I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you."
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
That night, I called to invite her to go out for dinner. "What's wrong, are you well?" she asked...
I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you, I responded. "Just the two of us," She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I would like that very much."
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.
She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. "I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting." We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy.
My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small, she said.
Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor, I responded.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed.
How was your dinner date? asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice! Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. I could not do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son."
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: "I LOVE YOU" and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve.
Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till. "some other time."
