assalamu alaikum,

Mas-mas dan mbak-mbak yang ada masalah dengan orang tua tentang masalah nikah 
atau apapun.
Ingat satu hal, orang tua itu pintu surga. Mau diambil atau tidak itu terserah 
kita.

Ibnu abbas ra. berkata yang intinya, Allah memerintahkan kita 3 hal yang 
berpasangan. Kalau salah satu pasangan tidak dilakukan, maka amalan tersebut 
tertolak:
1. patuhi Allah dan Rasul Nya
2. Tegakkan solat dan keluarkan zakat
3. berterima kasihlah pada Allah dan orang tua.

Logikanya, kalau mau nikah saja anda merasa susah untuk meyakinkan orang lain 
yang sangat dekat dan sayang dengan anda (yaitu: orang tua), bagaimana anda 
bisa sukses dengan orang yang baru anda kenal (calon istri). Yang dibayangkan 
itu yang gak enaknya, yang enaknya nggak usah dibayangkan.

salam,

Hanif

The Eight Major Sin
DISRESPECT TO PARENTS
 
Allah ta'ala says:
And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be 
dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your 
life, never say: 'Uff!' to them, nor shout at them but address them in terms of 
honour. And lower to them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, 
and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was 
young." (Al Israa: 17)

"Be dutiful to your parents" means to take care of their needs with love and 
kindness
"Never say: 'Uff!' means not to resent their senility and mistakes due to old 
age. It is an obligation upon you to serve them as they served you when you 
were a little child, as well as having brought you into life. The superior 
claim belongs to the one who does it (a good deed) first. Therefore, you should 
bear any trouble from them with forbearance until they leave this life.

Allah also says:
Be thankful to Me and to your parents. To Me is the final destination.
(Luqman: 14)
Just see how Allah has linked gratitude to parents with gratitude to Himself!

Ibn 'Abbas radiyallahu 'anhu said, "Three verses (of the Quran) were revealed, 
joining three (pairs), and one (part) of any (of these) pairs is not acceptable 
without the other. Allah ta'ala says

1. "Obey Allah and Obey the Messenger (An Nur: 45, Muhammad: 33, At Taghabun: 
12)

è If someone obeys Allah but not the Prophet salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam, it 
will not be accepted from him

1. "Establish prayer and pay zakat"

è If some one performs prayer but does not pay zkat, it will be not accepted 
from him

1. "Be thankful to Me and to your parents"

è If someone is thankful to Allah but not to his parents, it will not be 
accepted from him
That is why the prophet salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Allah's pleasure 
consists in the pleasure of parents and Allah's anger consists in the anger of 
parents"

Ibn 'Umar radiyallahu 'anhu reported that a man asked permission of the prophet 
salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam to go to jihad (fighting in the cause of Allah). 
The prophet salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam asked, "are your parents alive". He 
replied, "yes". Then the prophet salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam told him to exert 
himself on their behalf [Bukhari and Muslim] Just see how serving parents is 
superior to fighting in the cause of Allah!

Rasulullah salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Shall I not inform you about the 
greatest of major sins? Associating with Allah and undutifulness to parents." 
And he said, a person who is disrespectful to his parents, the one who keeps 
reminding (another) of the favours he has done, and the one who is addicted to 
wine will not enter the heaven. [Bukhari and Muslim]

And he said, "If Allah knew something more minor (which ne could do to injure 
parents) than saying 'Uff!' He would have prohibited that. No matter what the 
person does who is disrespectful (to his parents), he will not enter the 
heaven; and no matter what the person does who is kind (to his parents), he 
will not enter the hell fire". And he said, "Allah has cursed the person who 
reviles his father: Allah has cursed the person who reviles his mother," And he 
said, "Allah may postpone the punishment of any sin until the day of 
resurrection, excepting disrespect to parents; its punishment is swift," 
meaning that it starts in this world, prior to the day of resurrection.

Ka'ab al Ahbar rahimahullah said, "Allah hastens the destruction and punishment 
of a person who is disrectpul to his parents, and He lengthens the life of a 
person aho is good to his parents, increasing his good deeds and his wealth". 
Being good to parents means to spend on them when they are in need.

A person came to the prophet salallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam and said, "O 
Rasulullah, my father wants to take all my property." He replied, "you and your 
property (all) belong to your father".

Ka'ab al Ahbar rahimahullah was asked about the maning of "disrespect to 
parents" to which he replied, "if the father or mother assign him a task, he 
does not do it; if they order him to do something, he does not obey them; if 
they ask him for something, he does not give it to them; and if they entrust 
him with a thing, he cheats them in it".

Ibnu 'Abbas radiyallahu 'anhu  was asked, "who are the people on the Heights, 
and what are 'The Heights' (Al A'raf: 46-48)?". He replied, "as for the 
Heights, that is a mountain between heaven and the hell fire. It is called 'the 
Heights' because it overlooks the heaven and the hell fire, and on it there are 
trees abd fruits and rivers and springs. The people who will be on the Heights 
are the people who set out for jihad without the pleasure if their fathers abd 
mothers, and were killed in the battle. Their being killed in fighting for the 
cause of Allah prevents them from entering the hell fire, and their 
disobedience to their parents prevents them from entering the heaven. 
Therefore, they remain on the Heights until Allah decides their case"

Abu Hurairah radiyallahu 'anhu reported that a man asked, "O Rasulullah, who is 
most deserving of friendly care from me?" He replied, "your mother". He asked 
who came next and he (the prophet) replied, "your mother". He asked who came 
next and repled, "your mother". He asked who came next and repled, "your 
father". [Bukhari and Muslim]. Thus, the prophet salallahu 'alaihi wa sallam  
gave three times as much weight to the mother as to the father when it comes to 
good treatment from a child. This is understandable, for the mother's love and 
tenderness for her child is the greatest, in addition to whatever she bears 
during the pregnancy and childbirth, breast-feeding and being awake at night.

Abu Hurarirah radiyallahu 'anhu reported Rasulullah as salallaahu 'alahi wa 
sallam saying, "Four (kinds) of people deserve Allah's not letting them enter 
His heaven nor letting them taste His favours: one who is addicted to wine; one 
who accepts interest (usury); one who unjustly consumes the property of 
orphans; and one who is undutiful to his parents, excepting the one who 
repents".

The prophet salallahu 'alahi wa sallam said, "The heaven is under the feet of 
your mother"

A man came to Abu Darda' radiyallahu 'anhu and said, "O Abu Darda, I have 
married a woman, but my mother has ordered me to divorce her." Abu Darda 
replies, "I heard Rasulullah salallahu 'alaihi wasallam said, ' a parent is the 
best gate of the heaven, so as you wish, lose this gate or guard it

Rasulullah salallahu 'alahi wa sallam said, "O people of Muhajirin and people 
of Ansar, if anyone favours his wife over his mother, Allah and His angels and 
all the people curse him! Allah does not accept his spending (in charity) and 
his uprightness unless he repents towards Allah the Glorious and the Majestic, 
and reconciles with her and attains her pleasure, because Allah's pleasure 
consists in her pleasure and Allah's anger consists in her anger". [Tabarani 
and Ahmad]
