IT'S PARENT'S DAY TODAY!

Actually, it's parent's day evedyday (if your parents are still alive)! So seeing as we're all agreed that it's parent's day today, I'd like to remind you of this important advice: ❝When you are distressed, your parents -mothers especially- also become distressed. Perhaps they feel the pain more than you. For that reason, I recommend you avoid complaining about your problems to parents wherever possible. If you feel sick, distressed, anxious, etc., try and put on a brave face infront of them so they don't have to share in the suffering. If you can't make your parents happy, the least you can do is avoid bringing them grief. Complain to The Almighty and let your parents live in peace.❞ _________ It's reported that one of the tābi‘īn fell ill, so when his mother came to visit him he got dressed and made himself look well, as though there was nothing wrong with him, then as soon as she left, he fell unconscious. So it was said to him, nothing was wrong with you when your mother was present, so what's wrong with you now? He responded: ”إنَّ أنين الأبناء يعذِّب قلوبَ الأمَّهات“ “The children's groans is torture for the parent's hearts.” ____________ Finally, Sheikh Uthaymīn (may Allāh have mercy on him) said: "Supplicating for your parents during the Tarawīḥ or Tahajjud prayer is better than slaughtering ten camels on their behalf." [Al-Liqā Al-bāb Al-Maftūḥ (115)]
