Where are my children?


Bismillahi Rahman iRaheem





Where are my children?
 - Ahmed Bukhatir.
It’s a very emotional nasheed about a father who was abandoned by his children. Every time I watch it, it brings tears to my eyes. There is English translation for anyone who doesn't understand Arabic. 

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.” Quran 17:23-24
For all the debts in the world, the debt that can never be repaid  is the debt that we owe our parents. As a reminder to myself first, and to everyone else, remember that your mother and father, gave you love, care and most of their time to bring you up, so respect them, and shower them with your love :)
(PS: I forgot to tell you, the video at the beginning is a bit slow, go to 1:00 for the nasheed )
