Respecting Parents

I have been observing some thing from last couple of years that hurt me a lot. Our Parents sacrifice there happiness, their needs, their comforts and above all precious years of their life for us. At each stage of life their children are their first priority. Right from the day they are blessed with parenthood their life change completely, the only thing that matters most is their Children.

But sadly when parents get old and time comes that their children support them all there dreams and hopes are shattered. For children they are burden, last priority, a responsibility from which they always tries to shy away.

This ignorant attitude towards parents is not our tradition or part of our upbringing. We all are blessed with mind that is capable to differentiate between right & wrong. When with countless efforts of our parents and blessings of Allah we get good jobs and starts earning we should always keep in mind that what we are today is only because of our parents.

When we can tolerate other people even when they are wrong, when we can listen to others without arguing, when we can respect & love others in all circumstances then why not our parents? They deserve our attention, our love, our concern more than anyone else.

It's my request to all my readers to love & respect your parents, don't shout or misbehave with them. Try to give them time, try to show them how much they mean to you, how much you love them. Start doing so now as you don't know when this precious time is over and then you will regret.

Have a nice day ahead.
