A story

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his
45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their
window.
The father asked his son, 'What is this?'
The son replied, 'It is a crow'.
After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, 'What is this?'
The son said, 'Father, I havejust now told you, It's a crow'.
After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time,
'What is this?'
At this time some expression of irritation wasfelt in the son's tone
when he said to his father with a rebuff. 'It's a crow, a crow'.
A little after, the father again asked his son the 4thtime, 'What is this?'
This time the son shouted at his father, 'Why do you keep asking me
the same question again and again, although I have told you somany
times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?'
A little later the father went to his room and cameback with an old
tattered diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On
opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read
it, the following words were written in the diary:-
'Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when
a crow was sitting on the window.
My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23
times that it was a crow.
I hugged him lovingly eachtime he asked me the samequestion again and
again for 23 times.
I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child'.
While the little child asked him 23 times 'What is this?', the father
had felt noirritation in replying to the same question all 23 times
and when today the father asked his son the same question just 4
times, the son felt irritated and annoyed.
So....
If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as
a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble
and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents. From today say this
aloud, 'I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me
ever since I was a little child. They have always showered their
selfless love on me. They crossed all mountains and valleys without
seeing the storm and heat to make a person presentable in the society
today'.
Allah says:
Your Lord has enjoined the following: You should not worship anyone
but Him Alone! Treat your parents with great kindness; if either or
both of them attain old age, do not even say 'uff' to them; nor rebuke
them; but speak to them kind words. Treat them with humility and
tenderness and pray, "O our Lord, be merciful to them, just as they
brought me up with kindness and affection in my childhood."
