You don’t have to be religious to understand MORALITY!

Going to shopping! It’s very hot day!

I know but I have to go for it, it’s for my parents.

That’s so nice of you man! You live with parents?

Yes, I have to take care if them.

Good man! Here people choose not to stay with parents. You are different.

I know, they are just after their own life.

So, what makes you to be different?

What’s the choice,  it’s my parents.
They took care of me, now I need to take care of them.
As simple as it is.
They took care of me when I was child and needed help.
Now they are child and needed help.

That’s a very simple way to put this. But most of the people don’t understand this simple math of life. You must be very religious?

You don’t have to be religious to undestand morality.

I know,  it’s a normal human thing with common sense!

But I am religious. I am Catholic.

You must have read bible then.

Long time.

Surprisingly this notion doesn’t go with bible.

What is that?

It says you have to love Jesus. But it also says to love jesus you have to hate your parents. (Luke 14:26)

That’s weird.

Yes it is.

I have to read it. It doesn’t make sense. What about you? You seem read it?

Yes I did. I am Muslim, Al-Hamdulillah!

What your book says about it?

Well, the Quran verse 31:14 says the following:

“And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination.”

And Quran 17:23 says the following:

“And your Rabb has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], “uff,” and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.”

That’s what it should be. I need to read that too.

Do you like to read?

I think I would.

Do you like to have one?

You mean now! Do you have spare?

Well, I kept it for you.

Ha ha. Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Read it attentively. And read the history of Quran too. And by the way, read bible again mindfully and know the history of bible too.

Yes I will. Thanks buddy. You are a good man.

Thanks. You too.
