This weeks lecture was about an ayah in the Quran, and apart of the focus was about parents, veryyyyyy important lecture!
Here is what he said:
Work your whole life trying to be good towards your parents
In this aya 36 of Surat Nisa, Allah uses the term "ihsan" which means excellency, perfection, more than what is expected or deserved.
"Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good,"
Allah tells you, that your parents deserve excellent character
Your parents deserve to be treated the best, even better than everyone you meet
Its not optional to be excellent to your parents, you have to!
No one is more deserving of your care, support, excellent character, then your mother.
Who is your #1? Mom, now who is your #2? Dad? Nope, your mom is your #1,2, and 3
(Prophets hadith about your mother, your mother, your mother, then your father)
How many of us have not done this? Its not easy to be excellent to your mom, especially if she is mean to you or doesn't listen to you.
Who is commanding you to be excellent to your mom? Allah is commanding you, so you must treat everyone well even if they treat you bad because you believe in Allah.
It takes lots of efforts to do good when someone is not good to you , but you do this for the sake of Allah.
