Adab for this Month!!! =)


RESPECTING THE ELDERS

Do you respect your elders????

Why don’t you test yourself?
Answer the questions below and see whether you are also guilty of showing disrespect to elders. There is no score or marking system, so you alone are your own judge =)

  • Do you enter a room and remember to greet every single person in the room,including elders?

  • When your friends come visiting, do you introduce them to your elders?
  • Do you raise your voice when you argue or do you stay calm?
  • Do you try to assume control of all activities at home – not telling your mother where you plan to go out, not letting your father listen to his favourite radio station, not seeking permission before changing the channels on TV?
  • Do you offer your seat when you see elders standing in the public transport?

Why should I respect somebody just because he/she is elder to me?
You should show respect to everybody, even those who’re younger. But especially your elders because they are ahead of you – in age, in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education. Our elders have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us owe everything to their kindness and love.
So guys, please respect your elders ok!!!! =))
