Appreciating the Favours of Others

Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Daamat Barakaatuhu) mentioned:

When an animal reaches a stage where it can fend for itself, it sets off independently. It totally abandons its parents and all those who may have given it some sort of care and attention. There is no such thing as values and morals in them. Whereas as human beings and moreover as Muslims, we are trained differently. We are taught not to forget the past in this sense that we need to appreciate and value anyone who did some good to us.
