Tarbiyah

^{Q- I have a doubt. I am 19 years old. I post incidents regarding anything that harms our Muslim sisters or brothers in my WhatsApp status also Instagram stories. My niyyah is to spread the inequalities happening to our Muslim brothers and sisters and also to the world to know how we are treated. My parents scolded me for doing so. The last time when I posted about the Gujarat genocide incident my parents said we have Hindu friends and neighbors who support BJP and we don’t want them to feel like we are against them, what will they think, and so on. I said to them we being Muslims need to stand for our Muslim community, but they get angry and said that one more time you post we will take your phone away. I feel my parents are wrong by fearing what they think or how they will treat or see us. May I know if I am right or are my parents right? And also should I obey them having sabr and wait for myself to be independent later?}

^{A- So basically if you put yourself in your parents’ shoes, they are actually worried about your security as you are too young and don’t know how the world works. Your intentions are pure but at this age, everyone is very aggressive about their point of view and the things they stand up for. What you are feeling or wish to show the world is absolutely right and Islam clearly shows that the disbelievers can never be friends with Muslims and they would love to see us fall and get destroyed, but at the same time as you grow old, you become wiser and know how and when to register your protest against what Muslims are going through… Your parents are concerned about keeping you safe just like we see that hijabi sister being threatened by the transgender she exposed… I would suggest not to argue with them and follow as they say initially (as thats the first responsibility as a daughter)and slowly with respect and love try to explain them when they are in a good mood ,what Islam says about taking disbelievers as friends and standing against oppression. Meanwhile as you will grow older you will learn how to support Muslims in a true sense with your knowledge and guide your fellow sisters to the path of righteousness without harming yourself or getting into trouble.
Thats what I feel that the foremost responsibility for us is being dutiful to parents and if they are mistaking then explain the truth with pure love and obedience just like Ibrahim (AS) explained his father about tawheed.This is my point of view & Allah knows the best.}

^{Q- Are children allowed inside the masjid as they tend to get noisy.}

^{A- Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked about bringing children into mosques and he replied:}

^{They should be allowed to come as it says in the ahaadeeth: “What is good for the earlier generation is good for the later generation.”}

^{Q- What can I do to make my parents happy or what can I do that can be sadqa jariya for them in this life and in the hereafter?}

^{A- The most important thing is to love and show them respect in your interactions with both of them and follow what they ask you to do( in Islamic boundaries ofcourse)}

^{Secondly, pray for their dunya and akhirah and ask Allah to make you a source of tranquility and sadqa jariya for them.}

^{If they lack knowledge of deen then you should acquire it for yourself and share it with them with love and wisdom so they can work for their akhirah while they are alive}

^{Also, you should love n respect those whom they love and respect such as relationships of kinship.}

^{Help your mother with the household and take care of your father and if they become angry or upset with you for something be patient be with them and don’t raise your voice against them.}

^{Be a good and obedient daughter and try to fulfill your role as much as you can.}

^{Q- After our parents die, does every good deed that we do become sadqa jariya for them?}

^{A- A pious child who prays for their parents is sadqa jariya according to the hadith.
That means a pious child when prays for his/her parents, the prayers are beneficial for the deceased. Similarly, hajj, umrah, charity, or fulfilling pending vows & fasts will be a source of reward for the deceased too. But all his good deeds rewards don’t get shared with his parents, only ones mentioned in hadith or from sunnah are those whose reward reaches the deceased.}
