THE FIVE TYPES OF CHILDREN

Something to ponder 💞

There are 5 types of children in this world:💞

. THE FIRST TYPE :
Does not do what his parents order him (this type is ‘aaq – i.e. undutiful/disobedient which is one of the seven majors sins)❤️

. THE SECOND TYPE :
Does what his parents tell, but is displeased with it (this type does not gain any reward)❤️

. THE THIRD TYPE :
Does what he is told , but follows it up by raising his voice, or mentioning those favors [e.g. I have done so much for you, I am always doing ‘xyz’ for you. this type earns a sin)❤️

. THE FOURTH TYPE :
Does what he is told, willingly and happily (this type is rewarded), and they are few.❤️

. THE FIFTH TYPE :
Does what his parents want before he is even told (this is the type which is al-baar al-muwafaq i.e. dutiful and kind to his parents and is given the ability to be successful in all his affairs), and they are rare.❤️
√

As for the last two types, they are known as Al-Birr (the obedient)💐

About them, don’t ask about the barakah [blessings Allah puts in person’s time, wealth, health, efforts etc. whereby it increases, multiplies or a lot of good comes from something little] they will have in their life, and the vast provision (rizq i.e. wealth, knowledge, health etc. Allah gives them); and how much their hearts will be at rest; and the ease they will find in all their affairs [due to being dutiful to their parents].🌹

The difficult question for every person is – what type of child are you?

Don’t think that by simply kissing the forehead or hands, or even the feet of your parents, that you have attained their ultimate pleasure..🌹

What is al-Birr (being dutiful and kind towards one’s parents)?🌹

… Al-Birr is to recognize what is in the heart of your parents and act upon it without waiting for an instruction.🌹

…Al-Birr is knowing what makes them happy, then racing towards doing it; and understanding what hurts them, then striving that they don’t ever see it from you!🌹

…Al-Birr could be in something that you feel your parents desire, and you bring it to them, even a cup of tea..🌹

…Al-Birr is that you ensure the comfort of your parents, even at the cost of your own happiness; so if your staying out late will cause them worry and stress, then you sleeping early is part of your birr (kindness) towards them.🌹

…Al-Birr is that you miss a party that you are invited to when you feel, even for a second, that your staying out late will cause then worry and stress.🌹

….Al-Birr is to plan a surprise Umrah or Hajj trip for your parents and arranging for them 🌹a nice hotel which they deserve!

….Al-Birr is to cheer up your parents – at an age where there does not remain a lot which brings them joy and happiness..🌹.

….Al-Birr is to spend abundantly
on your parents from your wealth even if they posses millions, without thinking twice about how much they own or whether they need it; for everything you have is only because of their hard work, and sleepless nights which they spent looking after you..🌹

…Al-birr is to look for their comfort, and not let them exert effort to make you comfortable, for it is enough how much they strived for your sake already…🌹

There are many ways of Al-Birr which lead to jannah (Paradise), so don’t restrict it to a single kiss on the forehead which may be followed up by many shortcomings…🌹

و قَضَى رَبُّكَ أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا

{And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment.} (Quran 17:23)…..💞

MAY ALLAH TA’ALA MAKE ALL OBEDIENT CHILDREN – NO MATTER HOW GROWN UP THEY MAY BECOME AAMEEN.,
