An Islamic cleric, Ustadh Daud Adewale Idris, has urged Muslims especially the youths to take care of their parents to earn the pleasure of Allah.
The Muslim scholar gave the advice at the 11annual Ramadan Lecture and Iftaar (breaking of fast) of the Daarul Ulumil Islamiyya fi-Naijiria (DUIN), Abuja.
He said kindness to parents is the dearest deed to Allah after prayers hence Islam use birr (kindness, compassion and benevolence) in connection with children’s attitude to their parents. “Parents are the most deserving of children kindness and compassion of man.
“The good treatments of parents can be the key to Paradise. On the other hand, bad behaviour towards them may result to punishment in hellfire. Unfortunately, man-made laws, in the name of freedom and individual right in the so-called civilized countries encourage children to rebel against their parents” he said.
The school’s director, Dr. Rafee Busayree Al-Ijebuwi, has urged the wealthy to provide food and other relief materials for the needy especially during the holy month of Ramadan.
