“Happy Father’s Day”
Something that will circulate on our feed pages for a few days now.
Happy father’s day celebrations, cakes, cards, wishes, pictures with fathers n so on.
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِي أَمْرِنَا هَذَا مَا لَيْسَ مِنْهُ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ
A'isha رضي الله عنه reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:
“He who innovates things in our affairs for which there is no valid (reason) (commits sin) and these are to be rejected.” (Sahih Muslim 1718)
And many more such ahadees tell us biddah is not part of our deen, not the sunnah of our beloved prophet ﷺ .
Why is there a need for these specified days?
Western culture has inculcated so much into our lives that it’s deep-rooted and cannot be invalidated (according to society norms) but there is need to step up and not associate celebrations with certain days.
One day for father? Who has played vital role in your life? One day for mother? Who has sacrificed major part of her life for you?
SubhanAllah Islam is so beautiful.
Parents hold special place in our lives.
And Our beloved Prophetﷺ said about father:
Abu Darda' heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say that:
"The father is the middle door of Paradise (i.e. the best way to Paradise), so it is up to you whether you take advantage of it or not."
Allah subhanwatallah have laid down rules for every thing and rights of every person in islam that you don’t have to look upto other people.
People say what’s the harm in it? We are just celebrating. Celebrate what Allah pak has asked us to celebrate ❤️ beautiful days of celebration: Eid ul fitr, Eid ul adha.
There’s no harm in having dinner or cut cake but do not associate it with one day. Take your father out every day. ❤️
May Allah guide us all.
I am no scholar
I am not a very religious person either but please people enlighten yourself with the teachings of Allah and not follow westernisation in any way.
