Respect And Obedience Of Parents In Light Of The Holy Quran And Hadith Free Download Islamic Book In English Pdf
Allah Most High has brought human beings into existence. He has made the parents the means of bringing us into this world. Almighty
Allah has made parents an embodiment of affection and mercy and has
obligated them to raise their children in the proper manner. Children have also been ordered to serve their parents and fulfill the rights due to them.
The
importance of fulfilling the rights of the parents can be understood
with the fact that in the Holy Quran, Almighty Allah has mentioned nice
treatment of parents immediately after mentioning His own worship and
servitude. It is given in the Holy Quran:
And
your Lord has commanded you not to worship anyone other than Allah, and
treat parents with benevolence. If either or both of them attain old
age in your presence, then do not say even “Ugh” to them, nor reproach
them. And always speak to both of them submissively, observing polite
manners. And always lower your
wings of submissiveness and humility out of soft-heartedness for both of
them, and keep supplicating (Allah): O my Lord, have mercy on both of
them as they brought me up in (my) childhood (with mercy and clemency). Surah Bani Israil (17:23, 24)
