- Almighty Allah says: "& (remember) when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel (saying): Worship none save Allah (only) & be good to parents & to kindred & to orphans & the needy & speak kindly to mankind & establish worship & pay the poor-due. Then, after that, you slid back, save a few of you, being averse." (2:83)
- Almighty Allah observes: "They ask you (O Muhammad - sallallahu alaihi wasallam) what they shall spend. Say: that which you spend for good (must go) to parents & near kindred & orphans & the needy & the wayfarer & whatsoever good you do, Lo! Allah is aware of it." (2:215)
- Almighty Allah says: "& serve Allah. Ascribe no thing as partner unto Him. (Show) kindness unto parents & unto near kindred & orphans & the needy & unto the neighbour who is of kin (unto you) & the neighbour who is not of kin & the fellow-traveller & the wayfarer & (the slaves) whom your right hands possess. Lo! Allah loves not such who are proud & boastful." (4:36)
- Almighty Allah commands: "Say: Come, I will recite unto you that which your Lord has made a sacred duty for you: that you ascribe no thing as partner unto Him & that you do good to parents, " (6:151)
- Almighty Allah says: "Your Lord has decreed that you worship none besides Him & (that you show) kindness to parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age with you, say not "Fie" unto them nor repulse them, but speak unto them a gracious word. & lower unto them the wing of submission through mercy & say: My Lord! Have mercy on them both as they did care for me when I was little." (17:23-24)
- Almighty Allah says: "We have enjoined on man kindness to parents; but if they strive to make thee join with Me that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not. Unto Me is your return & I shall tell you what you used to do." (29:8)
- Almighty Allah says: "& We have enjoined upon man concerning his parents & His mother bears him in weakness upon weakness & his weaning is in two years & Give thanks to Me & to your parents. Unto Me is the journeying." (31:14)
- Almighty Allah says: "& We have commanded unto man kindness toward parents. His mother bears him with reluctance & brings him forth with reluctance & the bearing of him & the weaning of him is thirty months, till, when he attains full strength & reaches forty years, he says: My Lord! Arouse me that I may give thanks for the favour wherewith You have favoured my parents, me & that I may do right acceptable unto You & be gracious unto me in the matter of my seed. Lo! I have turned to You repentant & lo! I am of those who surrender (to You)." (46:15)
Sayyiduna Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) reported: "I asked Rasoolullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) which deed Allah loves most?" He replied, "To offer prayers at their early stated times." Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) asked, "What is the next in goodness?" The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "To be good & dutiful to one's parents." Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) asked, "What is the next in goodness?" The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "To participate in Jihad for Allah's cause." Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) added, "The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) narrated to me these three things & if I had asked more, he would have told me more." (Bukhari)
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (radi Allahu anhu) reported that a man asked the Beloved Habib (sallallahu alaihi wasallam): "O Allah's Apostle (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam)! Who is more entitled to be treated with the best of companionship by me?" The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Your mother." The man said: "Who is next?" The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Your mother." The man further said: "Who is next?" The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Your mother." The man asked for the fourth time: "Who is next?" The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Your father." (Bukhari & Muslim)
Islam has given parents that much importance that one should not go for Jihad without the permission of one's parents. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (radi Allahu anhuma) reported: "A man said to Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), "Shall I participate in Jihad?" The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Are your parents living?" The man said, "Yes." The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Do Jihad for their benefit?" (Bukhari) The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) enjoined on him to serve his parents & do his best to satisfy their needs, for this will be a substitute for fighting in Almighty Allah cause.
Sayyiduna Abdullah Ibn-e-Umar (radi Allahu anhuma) reported that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: "The most grateful is he who treats well the friends of his father in his absence." (Muslim)
Sayyidah Asma bint Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anha) reported: "My mother, who was pagan, came with her father during the period of peace pact between the Muslims & the Quraish infidels." I went to seek the advice of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)) saying, "My mother has arrived & she is hoping for my favour." The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said, "Yes, be good to your mother." (Bukhari & Muslim)
Sayyiduna Mughirah (radi Allahu anhu) reported that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Allah has forbidden the following things for you: To disobey your mothers, to bury the female child alive, to refuse the repayment to your creditors." (Bukhari & Muslim)
Sayyiduna Abdullah Ibn-e-Amr (radi Allahu anhu) reported that the Glorious Nabi of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: "It is one of the greatest sins that a man should curse his parents." The people asked: "O Allah's Apostle (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)! How can a man curse his own parents?" The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: "When a man abuses the father of another man & the latter abuse the father of the former & abuses his mother." (Bukhari & Muslim)
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (radi Allahu anhu) reported that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: "The pleasure of Allah lies in the pleasure of father & the displeasure of Allah is in the displeasure of father." (Tirmizi)
Sayyiduna Abu Umaamah (radi Allahu anhu) reported that a companion asked the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam): "O Allah's Apostle (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)! What are the rights of parents to their sons?" The Holy Prophet (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Both are like Heaven & Hell for you." (Ibn-e-Majah) This means the pleasure of parents would bring the reward of the Heaven & their displeasure will result into the torment of Hell.
Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Jahimah (radi Allahu anhu) reported that his father called on the Holy Prophet of Islam (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) & said: "O Allah's Apostle (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)! I wish to go for Jihad & I have come to you to take your advice." The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) asked: "Do you have a mother?" He said: "Yes." The Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Make her service obligatory for yourself as the Heaven is by the side of her feet." (Nisaai)
Sayyiduna Mughirah (radi Allahu anhu) reported that the Beloved Habib (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Allah has forbidden you,
- to be undutiful to your mothers,
- to withhold what you should give,
- or demand what you do not deserve
- & bury your daughters alive."
- you talk too much about others,
- ask too many questions in religion,
- or waste your property." (Bukhari)
