Narrated Abi Horairah that the Messenger of Allah (PAPBUH) said:" One who works to support a widow or a poor person is equal in reward with a Mujahid in the name of Allah and similar to one who stays up praying at night and fasts during the day" (Ibn Majeh)
Narrated Abdullah Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with both of them) that a man came to the Prophet (PAPBUH) to take his permission to go our for Jihad, the Messenger (PAPBUH) asked him: are your parents alive? He said yes. The Messenger (PAPBU) said in them you make Jihad" (reported by Bukhari)
N.B: meaning looking after them equal Jihad, imagine, how many of us waste such golden chances and prefer the company of friends over parents??????
Do we need comments?????
