The love and mercy of grandparents.
From the beautiful blessings that Allāh عز وجل has granted us are the special relationships He places in our lives, and from the most beautiful and heart-warming of them is the bond between grandparents and their grandchildren.
Subhān Allāh, it is truly one of the most amazing and loving relationships. The love our parents show to their grandchildren is something so amazing. The same parents who were strict with us now soften, and overlook things they never would have overlooked with us, and we can’t help but smile and laugh, lol, alhamdulillāh.
And how protective they become over their grandchildren, the care, the du'ās, the affection, the school runs, etc, it is something truly special.
By Allāh, it is a beautiful bond. When you witness how grandparents are with their grandchildren, it increases your love for your parents, and it deepens your affection for your children, and for your nieces and nephews. It reminds you of the mercy Allāh places within families and the blessings of kinship.
So make time for your children to spend that precious time with their grandparents. It brings immense joy to their hearts and creates memories filled with love and happiness.
Even if distance separates them, Alhamdulillāh, Allāh has blessed us with means like video calls,etc, so make use of them and keep those bonds alive.
May Allāh forgive us, our parents, our grandparents, our uncles and aunties, and all of our loved ones, those who have passed away and those who are still among us. May He unite us in goodness in this life and reunite us in Jannatul-Firdaws.
