Surah al Ahqaaf..........ayat 15 to ayat 20

And We have commended unto man kindness toward parents. His mother beareth him with reluctance, and bringeth him forth with reluctance, and the bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months, till, when he attaineth full strength and reacheth forty years, he saith: My Lord! Arouse me that I may give thanks for the favour wherewith Thou hast favoured me and my parents, and that I may do right acceptable unto Thee. And be gracious unto me in the matter of my seed. Lo! I have turned unto Thee repentant, and lo! I am of those who surrender (unto Thee). (15)

'...of levels and levels in jannah and in an nar.'





And We have commended unto man kindness toward parents. His mother beareth him with reluctance, and bringeth him forth with reluctance, and the bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months...........

those of us who are rude to parents and treat them like 'dirt' because they are no longer able to contribute, kindly see this video:

the average time taken for foaling is about 1 hour!
one hour of life and death...
one years of breast feeding!

in human, the recommended period is two, followed by another 20 to 25 years of ' nursing' and pampering....

at 40 plus, the wife complained to the husband, about his dad or mum , ''..heeh!  .nyanyok dah orang tua nih!.....susoh nak baso abae...kencing berak ikut sir...abae keno cari tempat rumoh orang tuo untuk dio! ''

all 20, 30 years of caring goes down the drain......
that seemed to be the norm nowadays!

ustaz dr ismail al patani on '....parents...', surah al isra' , ayat 25 to ayat 27

' ngaji qur'ae kito hari ning adik kakok, biar kemah molek..'

my late mum died at a relative young age of 68.
she had established kidney failure amenable to treatment with heamodylisis.
she elected not to undergo the treatment, and died shortly 2 weeks after cessation of heamodylisis.
if i read her mind correctly retrospectively, she elected not to trouble her 5 children and 5 menantus.

that is the ultimate sacrifice of a mother.............
that is how most parents think.
