The Overlooked Commandment: Dutifulness to Parents

In Islām, after worshiping Allāh alone, one of the greatest deeds is being dutiful to our parents. Caring for our parents isn’t just an act of kindness; it’s a form of worship that can lead directly to the pleasure of Allāh. The Prophet ﷺ said:

"The pleasure of the Lord is in the pleasure of the parent, and the displeasure of the Lord is in the displeasure of the parent." Sunan Tirmidhī

Sometimes, in our zeal to pursue acts of worship that are grand—seeking knowledge, activism, building organisations for Da'wah, fasting, or public charity—we overlook one of the simplest and most profound forms of worship: serving and honoring our parents.

How often do we pause to realise that caring for our parents when they are in need is like a door to Jannah wide open before us? So let us not neglect this command in the pursuit of other deeds especially when they are in need. Helping our parents is not only a duty; it’s a way to bring Allāh’s mercy into our own lives.

Their Love For Us is A Sign of Allāh’s Mercy in This World.

Action Plan:

Dear brothers and sisters,
❖ If your parents call upon you, respond to them with urgency.
❖ If they are in need, let nothing hold you back from supporting them.
❖ If they are old and frail, serve them with tenderness, as they once served you in your helplessness.
❖ If they are no longer with you, honor their memory with prayers, charity, and the fulfillment of their wishes.

O seeker of Allāh's mercy, never underestimate the weight of this responsibility. It is not a burden; it is a blessing. It is not a distraction from worship; it is worship itself. When you serve your parents, you are serving Allāh.

May Allāh grant us the ability to fulfill this noble duty with sincerity, love, and excellence. Amīn

Loneliness is Much Better than Being in the Company of Evil People.

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله:

“In the olden times, if the heart of the seeker (murid) was darkened or inflicted with [spiritual] disease he would go visit some of the pious and righteous people to relinquish the darkness of his heart (qalb).

Today however, as the seeker enjoys an atom of sincerity he would run into the house of solitude (‘uzla) where he basks in the breeze from the spirit of safety (rūh al-‘āfiya) and enjoys a light (nūr) in his heart.

He becomes focused on his Hereafter and his affairs remain intact, but when he leaves seeking whoever is pointed at (as being righteous or knowledgeable), he finds them sitting with idle people and involved in their unintelligent path that brings no benefit in seeing such a person who finds it easy to waste time in trivial topics and in despicable ways.”

“O youth, the essence of your soul lies in seeking knowledge, and the adornment of your soul is acting upon what you learnt.

Whoever does not act upon his knowledge will never recognise the value of what he possesses; he will be like a person carrying musk perfume but is unable to smell it because he has the flu.”

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:

“A person should focus his efforts on the Hereafter, devote his heart for the remembrance of Allāh, Most High. Implementing His Orders and preparing to meet Him.

Hence, one should detach himself from all distractions and avoid being busy with other matters; however, as it is not possible to avoid all distractions, one should avoid and abstain from things that can be avoided.

I never found more distracting to the heart than two things:

The first is obeying one’s desirous self in all that it seeks, which is endless for it will ruin one’s life and Hereafter. As it is impossible for a person to acquire all what he wants then truly, what a distraction! Life goes away while a person only achieves some of that!

The second is socialising with people— the common in particular — and walking in markets because the innate nature of humans inclines towards desires and forgets about the fact that it will depart from this life. It enjoys not performing any acts of worship and prefers idleness, inadvertency and comfort.”

Ibn Al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:

“If I may talk about myself, I never get enough of reading; when I see a book I have never seen before, it as if I have found a treasure. I have looked at the record of the endowed books in the schools of madhahib, which contained around six thousand volumes—from the record of Abū Hanīfah, Al-Humaydi; our own Shaikh ‘Abdu’l-Wahhab, Ibn Nāsir and Abū Muhammad Al-Khassab that were many—and any other book I can find.

If I said that I have read twenty thousand volumes, it would be less than the real number. I benefitted from them by following the lives of those people and the strength of their resolves (himma), their memorization, worship, and the wonders of their knowledge to a degree that cannot be realized by someone who does not read.”

“The hearts of people recognise the condition of people and so they either love or hate, or praise or condemn him according to the relationship he has with Allāh, Most High, who will suffice him for every concern and avert harm away from him.

Thus, whenever a slave [of Allāh] rectifies his relationship with the people without paying attention to Allāh, his goals will turn out opposite to what he intended, and the one he expected to praise him will condemn him instead.”

Heart Like A Fortress

Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله:

“Know that the heart is like a fenced fortress attended by angels. The fence has doors and cracks. The mind resides inside the fortress. Next to the fortress there is a barn in which there are lusts, and devils attend the barn. There is a war between the residents of the fortress and those of the barn. Devils patrol the fortress hoping for the guard to become lax, or to enter through the cracks. So the guard must know all the fortress doors to which he was assigned, and all cracks as well. He must not lower his guard for even a moment, for the enemy is never lax.”
