Dear brothers, In this kutbah, I will convey about obligation doing good to our

parrents.
we know that the greatest obligation that must be fulfilled by a Muslim after his
obligations to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and His Messenger is the obligation to
serve and fulfill the rights of parents. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,

Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him and do good to your
parents.” (an-Nisa: 36)
In another verse, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says,

We command humans to do good to their parents, their mothers have been

pregnant with difficulty, and gave birth to them with difficulty (too)." (al-Ahqaf:
15)

His mother was pregnant in a state of progressive weakness and weaned him at
two years of age." (Luqman: 14)
In these three verses, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala explains how important the
obligation to do good to parents is. Allah describes the great sacrifice and service
of parents, especially mothers to their children. Therefore, a child should be kind
to his parents. Because, a good person will certainly not forget the kindness of
others towards him, even repay their kindness by hurting them. So, it is not
appropriate for a child to forget the kindness of his parents and not to do good
to them?
The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam has also mentioned the importance of
doing good to parents. In fact, its importance is greater than jihad in the way of
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. This is mentioned in hadist, from a friend of Abdullah
bin Mas'ud radhiallahu anhu, he said,

he asked the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, "What is the most beloved of
deeds to Allah?"
He sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam replied, "Pray at its time."

He asked, "Then what?"

The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam replied, "Do good to parents."

he asked again, "Then what?"

He sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam replied, "Then jihad in the way of Allah.

From the verses and hadiths above and others, a Muslim will clearly understand
how high and noble the practice of doing good to parents is.
After we know how important it is to do good to parents, we should not
underestimate this practice. Moreover, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has ordered a
Muslim to carry out this obligation at a very difficult time to carry out, namely
when parents are getting old. At that age, of course, parents are in a state of
increasingly weak body and weakened way of thinking. This can make a child feel
tired of taking care of them.
If one of your parents or both of them are old (and they are) in your care, never
say to them the word 'ah' and do not yell at them, and say to them a noble word.
And humble yourselves towards them both with great affection and say, 'O my
Lord, have mercy on them both, as they both took care of me when I was little'."
(al-Isra: 23—24)
