Question:
This is the last question. The questioner says: I hope Your Excellency will offer advice to the general Muslim public and the youth regarding undutifulness to parents and defying their authority, as well as the prevalence of killing in these days and the prevalence of immorality. Undutifulness to parents, or because of this, and defying their authority, and the prevalence of killing in these days, and the prevalence of immorality?
Answer:
This is due to poor upbringing. Killing, undutifulness, and sins—disobeying the parents and the youth’s authority figure—this is due to poor upbringing and the neglect of the youth by their parents. This is because the parents are preoccupied with their children. In this world, the father is busy with worldly affairs, companies, and investments, and he does not know about his son. The mother is usually busy with work and going out of the house. Who is the child with? He is with a nanny, with a foreign woman who has no responsibility for him, no concern for his well-being, and no concern for him. This is the cause: poor upbringing. Therefore, it is obligatory for the parents to care for their children in terms of upbringing and proper guidance. This is from one aspect.
The second aspect is what they hear and read in the media: the incitement against parents, the incitement of a wife against her husband, the call for freedom and the absence of suppression, and the like. This affects these people, causing hatred in their hearts and aversion to their relatives. This is undoubtedly one of the causes.
The third cause, without a doubt, is the scarcity of religion in souls. The scarcity of religion in souls and the scarcity of fear of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). There are many causes. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Excellency the Shaykh, and may He bless you and benefit people with your knowledge, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad.
