He turns to Him and prays Him with sincerity, hope and faith that He alone can restore justice to him. Similarly, a person who has travelled for away from home feels himself a stranger among people with whom he may have little in common. That gives him a real sense of weakness. When he prays Allah, he does so with devotion and sincerity. Parents do not normally pray Allah against their own children unless they are genuinely and deeply hurt by them.
Nothing hurts a human being more than ingratitude.
When he has done someone a good turn, he feels deeply hurt by the latter s ungrateful behaviour. Parents normally do every kindness they can to their children. They have a double motive in doing so, their natural inclination as parents, and their hope to be rewarded by Allah. To his parents, a child represents hope for the future. When the helpless young boy of yesterday is a man going through life with confidence and ability, benefiting by his upbringing, his parents may stand in need of him because they have grown older and weaker.
