FATHERS DAY EVERY DAY!

 It is Father's day today and every day in Islam.. Of course Mother's too..  

Let us treat our fathers how Islam teaches us and let us teach the same to our children so that they will treat us in the same manner for the sake of pleasure of Allah.

‘Ali ibn al-Husain (r.a.) is reported to have said,

“The right of your father on you is that you should know that it is he who brought you into existence, and you are a branch of the tree of his life.”

1) Abu Huraira (RadhiAllahu Anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:

“No child can compensate his father unless he finds him as a slave, buys him, and sets him free.”  [Source: Sahih Muslim 2787]

2) Abu Ad-Darda, RadhiAllahu Anhu, reported: The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:

“The father is the middle of the gates of Paradise, so keep this gate or lose it.” [Source: Sunan Ibn Majah 3663]

3)The Messenger of Allah, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:

“The pleasure of the Lord lies in the pleasure of the father, and the displeasure of Lord comes with the displeasure of the father.” [Sunan at-Tirmidhī]

4)It was narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah, RadhiAllahu Anhu, that a man said:

“O Messenger of Allah, I have wealth and a son, and my father wants to take all my wealth.”

He, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:

“You and your wealth belong to your father.” [Source: Ibn Maajah]

Abu Hurairah, RadhiAllahu Anhu, always encouraged other people to be kind and good to their parents.

One day he saw two men walking together and enquired of the younger one, “Who is this man to you?” to which the young man replied, “He is my father.”

Abu Hurairah, RadhiAllahu Anhu, advised him by saying,

“Do not call him by his name, do not walk in front of him, and do not seat yourself before he does.”
