~Be good to your parents~
and
~show kindness to them~
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
As Salaamu Alaykum
Wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barkaatuh!
Dear brothers and sisters in Islam,
The Noble Qur'an often reminds us
to be good to our parents and show kindness to them.
Certainly this is quite a challenge
for us careless and forgetful humans.
We must try our level best to respect our parents.
We should speak softly with our parents,
and treat them kindly and gently.
Let us ponder on the following verses,
in which, our Lord has commanded us
to be good with our parents and show kindness to them.
[17.Surah Bani Israel : Ayah 23]
23. Thy Lord hath decreed
that ye worship none but Him, and that
ye be kind to parents.
Whether one or both of them
attain old age in thy life,
say not to them a word of contempt,
nor repel them,
but address them in terms of honour.
[17.Surah Bani Israel : Ayah 24]
And,
out of kindness, lower to them
the wing of humility,
and say:
"My Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy
even as they cherished me in childhood."
[31.Surah Luqman : Ayah 14]
And We have enjoined on man
(to be good) to his parents:
in travail upon travail did
his mother bear him,
and in years twain was his weaning:
(hear the command),
"Show gratitude to Me
and to thy parents:
to Me is (thy final) Goal."
[46.Surah Al-Ahqaf : Ayah 15]
We have enjoined on man
kindness to his parents:
In pain did his mother bear him,
and in pain did she give him birth.
The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is
(a period of) thirty months.."
At length, when he reaches the age of full strength
and attains forty years, he says,
"O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour
which Thou has bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents,
and that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve;
and be gracious to me in my issue.
Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam."

"O my Lord! so order me that I may
be grateful for Thy favours,
which thou hast bestowed on
me and on my parents,
and that I may work the righteousness
that will please Thee:
And admit me, by Thy Grace, to the
ranks of Thy righteous Servants."
(Surah An-Naml, Chapter 27, Verse 19)
Aameen, Ya Rabb-ul-Aalameen!
