On the 1st of January 2021, Amoawii circuit Atfal held a rally which was themed, “Respect and Obedience to parents and authority. In explaining the theme, Holy Quran Chapter 31: 15, 4: 60 were quoted which reads “ And we have enjoined on man concerning his parents- his mother bears him in weakness upon weakness and his weaning takes two years-Give thanks to Me and to thy parents. Unto me is the final return”, “O ye who believe! Obey Allah and obey His messenger and those who are in authority among you. And if you differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to Allah and his messenger if you are believers in Allah and the last Day. That is best and most commendable in the end.
Parents includes ones biological and non-biological parents, authority also includes parents and elders in the house, community and school.
The speaker Mr Mahadi Munkaila also concluded with the hadith “heaven lies at the feet of our mothers” which reechoes the need to respect and obey authority. 30 members participated in this event
Mashaa Allah. Nice piece. May Allah Grant us the steadfastness to remain obedience to Khilafat
