I grew up in one of those traditional households where conversations with your father often feel like a mirage you keep chasing. Or perhaps, for a long time, you don’t even feel the need to chase it.
The conversations are functional and seem too NORMAL.
What are you doing?
How are your studies?
When are you coming home?
One of the signs of growing up is that your conversations with your father slowly changes.
It’s been rightly said that journey teach you not only about places, but about people and more importantly about yourself.
You discover places hidden behind mountains. You discover the person hidden behind religiosity. You meet new people, and sometimes you meet a shade of yourself.
I thank Allah SWT that in His infinite Hikmah, a family Umrah trip back in 2017 shattered many illusions I held about myself.
For the first time, it pushed me beyond the usual father-son formalities and forced us to interact as two human beings trying to understand each other.
So much has been mentioned in the Ahadith regarding the rights of parents and the affection and compassion parents should show towards their children.
Reading them only requires RELIGIOSITY.
Living them requires SPIRITUALITY.
One thing I have learnt over the years is that if your father belongs to a generation that speaks less and expresses even less, and if you ever wish to peek into his heart…
Look into his eyes and listen to your MOTHER.
She has witnessed a MAN become a FATHER.
And a CHILD become a MAN.
Today, what gives me immense happiness is seeing a generational transition taking place.
Education, exposure, faith and life experiences have softened many things that our fathers themselves inherited.
I see my brothers having conversations with their children that would have been unimaginable a generation ago.
Maybe this is how families evolve.
Not by rejecting the previous generation, but by understanding them, cherishing them and forgiving them.
So today, maybe call your father.
Sit with him.
Bring him something he likes.
Ask him about his friends. About the people who shaped his life before you became a part of it.
One day, maintaining some of those relationships may become our responsibility too, as our faith teaches us.
And while fathers may retire physically, don’t let them retire mentally and spiritually from caring for the people they have spent a lifetime caring for.
Because as children, we notice what our fathers give us.
As adults, we slowly begin to observe what they gave up for us.</CUSTOM_BOLD>
May Allah swt bless our parents, and make us a source of comfort and sadaqa-e-jariyah for them in this life, Ameen…
Just had a beautiful time with friends, showing views of the Sun through special telescopes (do not try this without proper equipment) to people in the park.
What will it take you to realize that youre not gonna find her in real world.
Let's settle this once and for all —
Boys are loyal until a prettier girl texts.
Girls are loyal until a richer guy shows up.
WHO IS WORSE? 😂🔥
i dont get it why these 27+ uncs trynna text me like hey uncle !! are you blind ? im 19 🙄🙂
Why is it that the people we like don't seem to like us back, while the people we don't like end up liking us?🤔
