لَيْلَى وَطَاعَةُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ
كَانَتْ لَيْلَى تُحِبُّ نَفْسَهَا وَمُتْعَتَهَا، وَتَغْضَبُ إِذَا طُلِبَ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ فِي غَيْرِ وَقْتِهِ. فِي أَحَدِ الْأَيَّامِ، كَانَتْ تَسْتَعِدُّ لِلَّعِبِ، فَنَادَتْهَا أُمُّهَا: «يَا لَيْلَى، سَاعِدِينِي فِي تَجْهِيزِ الطَّعَامِ.» تَنَهَّدَتْ لَيْلَى وَقَالَتْ بِضِيقٍ: «دَائِمًا أَنَا! أَلَا أَسْتَحِقُّ أَنْ أَلْعَبَ؟» لَمْ تَغْضَبِ الْأُمُّ، بَلْ قَالَتْ: «يَا ابْنَتِي، أَنَا أَطْلُبُ مُسَاعَدَتَكِ لِأَنِّي أُحِبُّكِ، وَأُرِيدُ لَكِ الْخَيْرَ.» دَخَلَ الْأَبُ وَقَالَ: «أَتَعْلَمِينَ أَنَّ رِضَا اللهِ مِنْ رِضَا الْوَالِدَيْنِ؟» سَكَتَتْ لَيْلَى، وَشَعَرَتْ أَنَّ قَلْبَهَا يَلِينُ. قَامَتْ، وَقَالَتْ: «سَأُسَاعِدُكِ يَا أُمِّي، لِأَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللهَ.» بَعْدَ أَنْ انْتَهَوْا، دَعَتْ لَهَا الْأُمُّ: «رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْكِ يَا بُنَيَّتِي.» فِي الْمَسَاءِ، شَعَرَتْ لَيْلَى بِسَعَادَةٍ غَرِيبَةٍ، وَقَالَتْ فِي نَفْسِهَا: «هَذِهِ أَجْمَلُ مِنْ أَيِّ لُعْبَةٍ.» ✨ الْعِبْرَةُ: بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ طَاعَةٌ لِلَّهِ، وَسَبَبٌ لِلسَّعَادَةِ وَالْبَرَكَةِ.
Layla and Obeying Parents Layla loved her free time and often became upset when someone asked her to do something she did not like. One day, she was about to go play when her mother called, “Layla, please help me prepare the food.” Layla sighed and said angrily, “It’s always me! Don’t I deserve to play?” Her mother did not get angry. Instead, she said gently, “My daughter, I ask for your help because I love you and want good for you.” Her father entered and said, “Do you know that pleasing Allah comes from pleasing your parents?” Layla became quiet, and her heart softened. She stood up and said, “I will help you, Mom, because I want Allah to be pleased with me.” After they finished, her mother prayed for her, “May Allah be pleased with you, my dear.” That evening, Layla felt a deep happiness and said to herself, “This feels better than any game.” ✨ Moral: Being kind and obedient to parents is obedience to Allah and a cause of happiness and blessing.
