A Parents Love

"O Allah! Forgive me my sins, and the sins of my parents, have mercy on them boths as they have looked after me when I was little"

Loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life . Some of them might be too demanding , too pushy , nagging-non-stop , always decide what's the best for you , but you have to always remember that they keep a roof over your head when it's cold , raining or too hot . Geddit ? At the end of the day , it will always be your parents who accept all your flaws , all your mistakes and sins throughout your life even if you took them for granted . It will always be your parents who will pick you up no matter how bad the situation turns up . It will always be your parents who will take you back no matter how much you hurt them before .

When we were a baby , we kept crying to seek attention . When we were a child , we kept asking for toys . When we were teenagers , we kept asking for the latest gadgets . We kept asking for cool clothes . What else ? The fact is , you'll always need your parent's love .

I used to be so angry at Mummy for marrying Ayah ( my stepfather , as good as my own father now ) back in 2008 . But I didn't tell Mummy not to marry him because I know , Mummy needs someone to take care of her . I kept it all inside because I didn't want to hurt her and it's killing me . I wanted her to be happy but at the same time I didn't want anyone to replace Daddy's place in our life (Al-Fatihah) . But then I think again about the all sacrifies that she've done , the efforts that she've put in raising us as a single mother , all the love that she've gave me and Danny . She didn't asked anything from me , nothing . In fact , she gave me life . What's my right to stop her from getting her happiness ? What's my right to tell her 'No' when she have done everything she can to raise me ? What's my right to be angry at her when she've been giving me love from the moment that I entered the world ? It's my time to sacrifice a lil bit , it's for our own future anyway . The point is , you can't be selfish . It's okay to be angry but angry actions don't help you or your parents . It may seem like you're going through hell when you don't get what you want or things didn't turn up the you wanted it to . But baby , life doesn't always go your way . The world doesn't revolves around you .

They gave us life , but they can't live it for us . They can teach us right from wrong , but they can't always decide for us . They can teach us to share , but they can't make us unselfsih . They can advise us about friends , but they can't choose them for us . They can tell us about goals , but they can't achieve them for us . It all ends up with our own selves . They've done the best that they can to turn us to be 'humans' . And I promise you one thing , they can love you with unconditional love all their life . What do we need ? Love and respect deep down in our heart .

Come on , they don't ask that much . Do understand that parents are human too and the make mistakes . I love you Mrs Haniza , Mr Hassan(r.i.p) and Mr Taufik .

The prophet (pbuh) was once asked by a companion: "O messenger of Allah! Are there any deeds that I could do to be of service to my prarents after they have passed away?"

The prophet (pbuh), replied: "Yes there are: you should supplicate for them and ask Allah to forgive them; you should carry out (fulfill) their promises; you should maintain good relations with your relatives ; and you should honour their friends." (Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah and Ibn Hibban)
