Your Mother, Your Mother, Your Mother
Abu Huraira reported that a person came to Allah’s Messenger (saws) and said,
“Who among the people is most deserving of a fine treatment from my hand?” He said, “Your mother.” The man again asked, “Then who?” He said, “Again it is your mother.” The man asked, “Then who?” Our Prophet (saws) then said, “Again, it is your mother.” The man again asked, “Then who?” Thereupon he replied, “Then it is your father.” [Muslim]
Children’s Rights Over Parents
In most masaajid, we hear many speeches and heart to heart talks with uncles and aunties about the rights of parents over their children. We hear about them so much because unfortunately a lot of people do not fulfill their duties to their parents. But we also need to go into the topic of the rights of children. In my dissection of the issue,(figuratively speaking, I believe in Peace for All) I observed that the rights of the parents and children are interdependent, in fact some rights of children maybe needed in order for the rights of parents to be fulfilled. I know at this time your eyebrows might be raised and some of you are about to make judgments but HOLD YOUR HORSES.
