Respecting and serving one's parents

Q: I had a dream that I am dying and reciting the kalima. This is the second time it happened to me. Also I was on my mothers feet kissing her feet and asking for forgiveness. My father was there as well and I am asking for maafi from both of them then reciting kalima and my soul leaves my body. Then I woke up. It was 1 am. I stayed worried all day. Please help to interpret my dream.

A: The dream means that you should respect your parents and serve them to the best of your ability. Similarly you should recite the kalimah in abundance and live your life in accordance to the dictates of the kalimah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Q: I forgot to mention in my last question that my parents are not alive and they were very happy with me when they were alive according to my knowledge. Please advise. Maybe the interpretation is different.

A: Commit yourself to following the Mubaarak Sunnah in all facets of your life and refrain from committing sins. You should make dua for your parents maghfirat and recite a portion of the Qur'an or give some sadaqah and convey the reward to them. This is what will please them and make them happy in the hereafter.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
