When Your Parents Start Getting Older

This audio is brought to you by Muslim Central. [speaking Arabic] As you're all aware, uh, this is a special session in which I wanted to share, uh, some thoughts and reflections about a topic that is almost taboo. Nobody talks about it. Nobody prepares us for it. And in fact, frankly, it's a topic that we don't like to talk about because it just brings about a sense of sadness or, or gloom. And almost all of us have to face this topic, and I myself have just gone through it, um, and, and I thought myself to be well-read. I thought myself to be self-educated and attending many lectures and reading many books, and I found myself woefully, dismally ignorant about a topic that is so pertinent and relevant to almost all of us. And years ago, while I'm in the thick of it, I decided that it is important that somebody give a introductory talk. Nobody can give a comprehensive talk. An introductory talk for our Muslims in the Western world to prepare them for the inevitable reality. And of course, I refer here to the reversal of roles.
