My parent is my heart


The person that I loved the most in this world is my parent. They face all the difficulty and obstacles around to raise me up. For the whole life my mother and my father spends their time working to gain money for me and my brother. In our life’s, we need to respect and give full of love to our parent. Without their blessing, our life must feel incomplete. All religions and all societies have given parents an honorable status. From a purely material viewpoint, we find ourselves indebted to our parents, particularly our mother. She not only nourished us in her womb, but went through pain and suffering. She loved us even before we were born. She toiled when we were totally helpless infants. She spent sleepless nights caring for us. Our parents as a team provided for all our needs: physical, educational, psychological, and in many instances, religious, moral, and spiritual.
In Islam, however, respecting, honoring and appreciating parents are not just for a single day of the year, but rather for each and every day. A Muslim child should respect and appreciate his or her parents on a daily basis. Allah mentions that human beings must recognize their parents and that this is second only to the recognition of Allah Himself. Throughout the Quran, we notice that parents are mentioned with appreciation and respect, even if they are senile. In the Quran, there is a very beautiful description of how parents are to be treated; Allah Says (what means): "And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as] 'uff' [i.e., an expression of irritation or disapproval] and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word. And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say: 'My Lord! Have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small.'" [Quran 17:23-24]
I am very sad when I see many children don’t want to take a responsibility and take care of their parent when they getting older. At that time, we should realize that our parent really needs us to take care and love them. They don’t want our money, but they just want some attention from us. We as children should be sensitive with our parent feeling. Moreover, when they getting older.
We should realize that we just have one mother and one father, when they gone, we don’t have anything else in this world. We will feel empty in our heart, moreover when we not have a chance to do our responsibility and take care of them same just like they taking care of us when we born until become adult. You will become happier if you can make your parent happy. We must thankful if we still have our parent. How lucky are we compared to other person who don’t have parent anymore. We must love our parent and respect them from now on until forever. As long as they life, you should take care of them. This is called karma, when you treat your parent well, your children also will treat you with kindly and love you the same as the way you love your parent. This is Allah promises.
