Allah’ın Rahmeti Boldur

Annenin çocuğuna sevgisi böyle olursa Allah’ın )c.c.( kullarına sevgisini, rahmetini siz hesaplayın.

Peygamber Efendimiz (s.a.v.) buyumuştur ki,

“Allah (c.c.)’ın yüz bölümlük rahmeti vardır. Yalnızca bir bölümünü yarattıkları arasında dağıtmıştır. Bu rahmet sayesinde vahşi hayvanlar yavrularını korurlar ve birbirleriyle geçinirler. Diğer 99 kısım rahmetini Allah

(c.c.) kullarına rahmet eder”.

Ebu Hüreyre (r.a.)’den

Peygamber (s.a.v) Efendimiz önce Allah’a (c.c.) ve resulüne itaat etmemizi

sonra da annemize ve daha sonra babamıza itaat etmemizi emretmiştir.
