Love & Care for Your Parents.
From an Islamic perspective, disobedience to
parents, the murder of Muslims, and speaking ill of the first two caliphs are
all serious sins with potentially severe consequences. Disobedience to
parents is considered a major sin. Murdering a Muslim is prohibited and
carries the death penalty in certain cases. Speaking ill of the first two
caliphs is considered disrespectful and can be harmful to the unity of the
Muslim community.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
- Disobedience to Parents:
In Islam, showing respect and obedience to parents
is highly emphasized. The Quran and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) have both stressed the importance of honoring one's parents, and
disobedience is considered a grave sin that can lead to punishment in the
afterlife.
- Murder of Muslims:
Taking the life of another Muslim is strictly
forbidden in Islam, except in specific cases such as self-defense or when
legally mandated as qisas (retribution). The
Quran and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) strongly condemn murder and
emphasize the sanctity of life.
- Speaking Ill of the First Two Caliphs:
The first two caliphs, Abu Bakr and Umar ibn
al-Khattab, are revered figures in Islam, particularly among
Sunnis. Speaking ill of them is seen as disrespectful to the early
companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and can be interpreted
as undermining the foundations of the early Islamic community.
‘Abdullah bin Abi Aufa (رضي الله عنه) is reported to have said that a man came to the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and informed him that a young man, who was on the verge of death, was instructed to utter the Kalimah Tayyibah but it escaped his lips. The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) enquired whether this young man was in the habit of uttering the Kaimah during his _ lifetime. The people replied that he used to utter the Kalimak as a true Muslim does.
The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said that it was strange that a person who had been uttering the Kalimah throughout his life should fail to utter it at the last. moments of his life. Then the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) accompanied by his companions visited the young man and instructed him to utter the Kalimah Tayyibah (there is no god but Allah), but. he expressed his inability to do so. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) asked why it was so. He said that it was because he was disobedient to his mother.
The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) asked if his mother had been alive. He replied in the affirmative. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) asked the people to send for the woman. When she came, he asked her if the young man was her son. She replied in the affirmative. Then the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) asked what she would do if the fire was kindled and she was made to believe that if she did not recommend her son, he would be thrown into the fire.
The woman replied that she would recommend her son at that time. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) instructed her to swear by God and declare in the presence of the people that she had forgiven her son. She did so. Then the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) instructed the young man to utter the Kalimah (there is no god but Allah). He uttered it clearly. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) was immensely pleased and said that glorified be God Who, through him, had saved the young man from the punishment of hell.
(Bathagi, Tabrani).
‘Abdur Rahman Maharbi (mercy of Allah be upon him) has stated that a person who was at death’s door was instructed to utter the Kalimah Tayyibah. He replied that he could not do so because he always kept the company of those persons who used to speak ill of Hadrat Abu Bakrرضي الله عنه, and Hadrat ‘Uthman (رضي الله عنه)
(Ibn Asakir).
The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) sent Hadrat Abu Qatada (رضي الله عنه) in company with a few people, on a mission to Zam, one of the mountains of Madinah. A man named ‘Amar bin Sabt came across this troop of Muslims. On seeing the companions of the Holy Prophet (ﷺ), he uttered the Kalimah. Since they doubted his belief in the Muslim faith, they did not return the salutation. In the meantime, Mahlam bin Jasanaرضي الله عنه stepped out and murdered him. On this occasion, a verse was revealed to reproach the Muslims:
‘“O ye who believe! When ye go forth (to fight) in the way of Allah, be careful to discriminate, and say not unto one who offered you peace: You are not a believer!”
Mahlam approached the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) with the request that he might be forgiven. The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said that God might not forgive him. When Mahlam heard it, tears welled up in his eyes, and he left the company. He died the same week. When he was laid in the grave, he was thrown out of it. He was laid in the grave thrice, but every time he was cast out of it. At last, the people left him in the same condition amid the stones. When the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) heard about this incident, he said that the earth accommodated people even worse than Mahlam. _ The incident was calculated to attract the attention of the people so that they would take warning from it.
