Who comes just after God?
Your Lord has decreed, that you worship none save God, and that you show kindness to your parents.
If one of them or both attain to old age with you, say not “Fie” unto them nor repulse them, but speak unto them a gracious word.
And lower unto them the wings of humility through mercy, and say: my Lord, have mercy on them as they did care for me when I was little. (17:23-24)

Hadith of the Prophet
There is a piece of flesh in the body.
If it is sound, the entire body is sound.
If it is unsound, the entire body is unsound.
It is the heart.
الجسّد في إنإن لمضغة،صلح صلحت
كله، الجسّدفسّد فسّدت وإن
كله، الجسّدوهي أال
القلب.
Two blessings most people undervalue them; health and free time
مغبون نعمتانمن فيهما كثيرالناسوالفراغ الصحة
Every child is born in a state of (Fitra) good nature
على يولّد مولود كلالفطرة
Where is Paradise?
Paradise is at mothers’ feet
تحت الجنةأقّدام
األمهات
The Prophet & knowledge:
Who so ever goes out seeking knowledge, God facilitates his/her way to paradise,
And the angels put down their wings in appreciation for the one
who is learning.
طريقا سلك منعلما فيه يلتمس
طريقا له الله سهل, الجنة إلى
لتضع المالئكة وإنلطالب أجنحتها
