RESPECT OF PARENTS

The Holy Quran is instructing and insisting on showing the maximum possible respect for the parents. It also means that we should show respect to those who are related to our parents and those who are close friends of our parents.

Hazrat Abdullah Bin Umer (R.A.) narrated that Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H said,

If you show respect to the friends of your father, you have in a way, displayed respect for your father.

Allah has reminded us of our helplessness and total dependence on our parents during our childhood. Our parents fulfilled our wishes cheerfully and lovingly. It is mandatory for the children to treat their parents accordingly.
Although, parents must be respected all the time with extreme care, yet consideration and love must be accorded to them if they happen to be old.
