When I was 4 Yrs Old : My father is THE BEST
When I was 6 Yrs Old : My father seems to everyone
When I was 10Yrs Old : My father is excellent but he is short tempered
When I was 12 Yrs Old : My father was nice when I was little
When I was 14 Yrs Old : My father started being too sensitive
When I was 16 Yrs Old : My father can’t keep up with modern times
When I was 18 Yrs Old : My father is getting less tolerant as the days pass by
When I was 20 Yrs Old : It is too hard to forgive my father, how could my mom stand him all these years
When I was 25 Yrs Old : My father seems to be objecting to everything I do
When I was 30 Yrs Old : It is very difficult to be in agreement with my father,
I wonder if my grandfather was troubled by my
father when he was a youth
When I was 40 Yrs Old : My father brought me up with a lot of discipline, I
must do the same
When I was 45 Yrs Old : I am puzzled, how did my father manage to raise all
of us
When I was 50 Yrs Old : It’s rather difficult to control my kids, how much did
my father suffer for the sake of upbringing and
protecting us
When I was 55 Yrs Old : My father was far looking and had wide plans for us,
he was gentle and outstanding
When I was 60 Yrs Old : My father is THE BEST.
It took 56 Yrs to complete the cycle and return to the starting point “MY father is THE BEST”
‘Attha, ungalai ninaithal kangal kalangamal iruntathillaiye!!!’
Let us be good to our parents before it’s too late and pray to Allah that our own children will treat us even better than the way we treated our parents.
ALLAH (SWT) Says in Quran :
“Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him and show kindness to parents.If one or both reach old age with you then do not say uff! to them nor repulse them, but speak graciously to them.”.. (Surah Al-Isra : Ayah 23)
“O our lord, forgive me and my parents, and (all) believers, on the Day that the Reckoning will established!”... (Surah Ibrahim 14, Ayah 41)
” O my Lord, have mercy on them (parents) just as they nourished me when I was small.” ……. (Surah Al-Isra 17, Ayah 24)
