The Parent's Right:
Allah Says in the Quraan:
14) And We have enjoined on man (to be
dutiful and good) to his parents. His
mother bore him in weakness and
hardship upon weakness and hardship,
and his weaning is in two years-give
thanks to Me and to your parents. Unto
Me is the final destination .(Part 21,
Luqman:14)
15) But if they (both) strive with you
to make you join in worship with Me
others that of which you have no
knowledge, then obey them not; but
behave with them in the world kindly,
and follow the path of him who turns
to Me in repentance and in obedience.
Then to Me will be your return, and I
shall tell you what you used to do.
(Part 21, Luqman:15)
And your Lord has decreed that you
worship none but Him. And that you be
dutiful to your parents. If one of
them or both of them attain old age in
your life, say not to them a word of
disrespect, nor shout at them but
address them in terms of honour. And
lower unto them the wing of submission
and humility through mercy, and say ''
My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as
they did bring me up when I was
young''.(Part:15, Al-Isra 23 & 24)
Worship Allah and join none with Him
(in worship) and do good to parents,
(Part:5, An-Nisa:36)
Hadrat Abu Hurairah(RA) has related
that the Prophet said:"Be kind to your
parents so that your offspring be kind
to you".
Hadrat Abdullah Bin Mas'ood(RA) said:I
asked the prophet which action is
dearest to Allah and he
replied "Prayer at its proper time." I
asked what came next and he replied
that it was kindness to parents. I
asked what came next and he replied
that it was Jihad in the path of
Allah.
Kindness towards the Mother:
Bahz bin Hakim(RA) on his father's
authority said his grandfather told
him that he had asked Allah's prophet
to whom he should show kindness and he
replied "Your mother." He asked (the
third time) who came next and he
replied "your mother." He asked (the
fourth time) who came next and he
replied "your father, then your
relation in order of relationship."
Rights of Parents After their Death:
Hadrat Usaid as-Sai'di said, while we
were with the prophet, a man from Banu
Salima came and said to the
prophet "Messenger of Allah, is there
any kindness left that I can do with
my parents after thier death?" He
replied "Yes, you can invoke blessings
on them, ask for forgiveness for them,
carry out thier final instructions
after their death, join ties of
relations that are dependent on them
and honour their friends."
Rights of the friends of the Parents:
The prophet is reported to have
said, "Be courteus to your father's
friend. Do not severe ties of
relationship with him, lest Allah, the
great should extinguish your
light."
Reviling the Parents:
Hadrat Abdullah bin Amar(RA) has
reported that the prophet was
saying "A man reviling his parents is
one of the serious sins." He was
asked "Messenger of Allah, does a man
revile his parents?" He replied "Yes,
he reviles the father of a man, who
then reviles his father. And he
reviles a man's mother, who then
reviles his."
