My Parents Wisdom
Published by One Muslim under advice, parents, responsibility, wisdom on Monday, February 23, 2009
I am here having sort of rebellious feeling towards somebody (which shall not be named). In the mean angry time, I managed myself just to cool down like, hence my feedback action is none better than just necessary. However, it was not mine, it was not me in the first place taught myself to be so nice. Should be somebody else who show me all of those values? That is it, all are comes from the words of my parents. That was my parents who told me years before to do this and that this in the first place. This is the knowledge (possessed with patience) which would leads to the good character for all, you and me.
Narrated Abu- Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "No child is born except on Al-Fitra (Islam) and then his parents make him Jewish, Christian or Magian, as an animal produces a perfect young animal: do you see any part of its body amputated?" [Sahih Bukhari]01. My parents told me to show love and full devotion/worship towards Allah and His will, to Prophets as His messenger, read the Qur’an, care for parents, to be good for the family and be friends with the community. No doubt this line is just clear, simple but takes a lifetime of practice.
02. They emphasized me to remember the short and easy Pillars of Faith and Pillars of Islam as well. These two pillars are the basis, both important for every Muslim like me in checking and re-checking my “Imaan” and my “Islam”. Its self evaluation everybody could handle.
03. They encouraged me to remember few short Qur’anic verse.
04. Love and do the will of God without doubt and without many excuses.
05. Leave what that has been described by God to avoid.
06. Do not just pray alone, find a friend and do pray together.
07. Dua and recite some “Al Mathurat” whichever I feel to do so.
08. Believe in parents and remember their good advice. And always try to seek their blessings in every move/decision.
09. Serve Allah by the concept of “Fardh”, knowledge, with emphasize on both Fardhu Ain (individual obligation/responsibility) and my responsibility for Fardhu Kifayah (community/social responsibility).
10. Family-sharing session, which is beneficial for me to share something, advised, reminded, suggested and be warned, for my actions which are sometimes my beloved ones would do the evaluation better than me.
11. Be concerned, remember to do the final self evaluation for all of my actions; and it must be done on the daily basis. Regularly just before the bedtime. Hope my actions are all good and would bring harm to nobody.
Such a good words, my parents has somehow done their religious responsibility on me. Hope so I could be much wiser when I remember all of these words and hope so when I have a family, I could also do the same; pass on those words down deeper into my child’s heart. Their wisdom is some kind of worth to remember. Thus I am here sharing with you.
