Today's Friday khutbah about fathers really hit me hard.
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله
TLDR: Felt too emotional about today khutbah about fathers
Last Friday someone posted here about the khutbah on mothers. Even though I can fairly understand Arabic, I barely actively listen to it. But when I read that last post about the Friday kutbah, I found out the link for IACAD.
Today's khutbah was about fathers and it truly hit me hard (perhaps even more than last week's). Personally, I do call my mom almost every day and talk with her for at least a few minuts. Nothing special, just the usual "how are you, did you have your food" and all. But I barely video call or even voice call my father. Usually the talk is tied to money matters like loan repayments or home rennovations, and it's never a direct call, just through voice messages.
Every verse of today's khutbah felt too personal for me (and perhaps for most people) because in general, we tend to seem so open and free to talk to our mothers, contrary to our fathers
Ironically, I am also a father now to a two-year-old, and I cannot even imagine if my kid stopped talking to me. I mean not out of anger, but just out of discomfort. Every time I video call my wife, I get immediately charged up seing my boy talking, and God knows how I will feel if he stops speaking to me. I feel it must be the bery same for my father right..!???
Of course there are abusive parents out there, but in general we should respect them and call them. I actually called my father today and it was very awkward really, because we were not used to it. But I am sure he will be happy inside, just as I am now.
On a sidenote, the khutbas here in the UAE are so relevant, contemporary, and effective compared to where I come from, where they just read decades-old khutbahs.
