However Well You’ve Treated Them…
The shaikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-ʿUmarī, may Allāh protect him, said:
However well you’ve treated your parents, when they leave this world, you’re going to find [yourself] blaming [yourself] in your heart, if only your good treatment of them had been [even] greater than what it was.
Your good treatment of your parents is [first of all] a blessing from Allāh upon you, before you see it as a blessing from Allāh upon them.
مهما كان بِرّك بوالديك؛ فإنهما إذا فارقا الدنيا ستجد في قلبك لوما أنْ لو بررتهما بأعظم مما حصل منك.
برك بوالديك نعمة من الله عليك، قبل ان تنظر أنها نعمة من الله عليهما.— د.محمد بن غالب العُمري (@m_g_alomari) January 1, 2021
