Your Parents Are Your Ramadan Test

Ramadan is not just about staying hungry. It’s not just about staying thirsty. It’s not just about waking up early and sleeping late. Ramadan is about fixing hearts. And one of the first hearts Allah asks us to fix… is how we treat our parents. Let me ask you something honestly. When was the last time you looked at your parents and really noticed them? Not as people who correct you. Not as people who restrict you. But as human beings who gave you everything… before you even knew how to ask. We live in a time where people cry in sujood, but raise their voice at home. Where hands are lifted in dua, but hearts are careless toward parents. And Ramadan comes to expose this contradiction. Allah does not talk lightly about parents. In the Qur’an, Allah connects worshipping Him directly with being kind to parents. “Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be excellent to your parents.” (Qur’an 17:23) Notice something powerful here. Allah didn’t say after worship Me, respect your parents. He mentioned them together. Because for many people, the test of Ramadan is not hunger. It’s patience. And the closest test of patience… is at home. Your parents may repeat themselves. They may not understand your struggles. They may say things that hurt without realizing it. But ask yourself this: How many times did they stay silent when you were difficult? How many nights did they lose sleep so you could sleep peacefully? Ramadan softens hearts. If your heart is still hard toward your parents in Ramadan, that’s a warning — not a flex. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Paradise lies beneath the feet of your mother.” Not beneath your success. Not beneath your popularity. Not beneath your comfort. Beneath your mother. And another narration tells us something frightening: A person whose parents reach old age, and he still doesn’t earn Jannah through them — that person has truly lost. Ramadan is a gift. Because every small action now carries extra weight. A soft tone. A silent apology. A glass of water placed gently at iftar. A message that says, “Are you okay?” These are not small deeds in Ramadan. They are heavy on the scale. Some of you listening right now feel guilty. Because you know you’ve been harsh. You’ve answered back. You’ve rolled your eyes. You’ve chosen your phone over their presence. Listen carefully. Ramadan is not here to shame you. Ramadan is here to bring you back. If your parents are alive — this Ramadan is your chance. And if one of them is no longer here — this Ramadan is still your chance. Make dua for them. Give charity on their behalf. Ask Allah to forgive you for what you didn’t realize back then. Allah is gentle. But time is not. One day, you’ll sit where they sit. And you’ll wish someone spoke to you softly. So before Ramadan ends… before the nights pass… before regret becomes permanent… Lower your voice. Soften your heart. And fix what you still can. Because a Ramadan that fixes your relationship with Allah but destroys your relationship with your parents is not a complete Ramadan. And maybe — just maybe — the dua you’re waiting for is stuck at the door of kindness to your parents. Choose mercy. Choose humility. Choose your parents. This Ramadan… don’t just fast from food. Fast from hurting the ones who raised you.
