Before We Move On to Surah Nuh, 71..........Doing Good To Elderly Parents.

friends, dato and tanseri,


[   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXctdAwhEU4&t=2935s   ]


there is a well known hadith as narrated by abu hurairah radiallahuan alluding to nabi [ pbuh ] as saying,

..a person is damned if every time he mentions me he does not send selawat to me.
..a person is damned if every time ramadan passes, he is still not forgiven.
..a person is damned if he has elderly parents and both of them could not carry him to jannah.

ustaz dr ismail lotfi al patani here softly discusses ayat 23, 24 and 25 of surah al isra' on our relationship and interactions with our parents, especially with elderly parents, an issue neglected today, in this fast moving world.

i have lost 2 precious doors to jannah because both my parents died early.
my only recompense is this short doa here...

"rabbir firli waliwa lidayya...." [ nuh, 28 ]
my lord, forgive me and my parents.

this short doa, which i read during my sujud and duduk antara dua sujud, al most always for the last 34 years, was given to me by shaykh al banjari, a malay alim teaching in masjidil haram, in the early 80's in the haram.

we have these kind of alim given tauliah teaching in the haram that time in bahasa.
not at the present time.
this short doa  is my only connection to them now.

sedeqah, done in their name, is the other avenue.

these are 'doors to jannah' open to us guys!
listen to ustaz dr ismail lotfi.
