  1. Parents from quran and sunnah

    In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

    Dear and beloved brother in Islam, one cannot over-emphasize the importance and significance of serving one’s parents in Islam; and if truth be told, truly it would be almost impossible for us to relate every verse of the Glorious Quran and every hadith of the Messenger of Allah (saws) regarding the rank, status, and service to one’s parents in this short article…for to do justice to the rank and status of parents in Islam would truly require a whole book, if not a volume of books! 

    What we can do for you here in this short article is quote you a few verses of the Glorious Quran and a few authentic and established hadeeths regarding the status, rank, and the guidance towards the service of one’s parents…..

    Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Bani Israel verses 23-24:

    Your Lord has enjoined the following: You should not worship anyone but Him Alone!  Treat your parents with great kindness;  if either or both of them attain old age, do not even say ‘uff’ to them;  nor rebuke them;  but speak to them kind words.  Treat them with humility and tenderness and pray, “O our Lord,  be merciful to them, just as they brought me up with kindness and affection in my childhood.”

    Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 31 Surah Luqman verse 14:

    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. 

    Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 14 Surah Ibraheem verse 41:

    41      "O our Lord! Cover (us) with Thy Forgiveness; me my parents and (all) Believers on the Day that the Reckoning will be established!" 

     

    Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 46 Surah Ahqaaf verses 15-18:

    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 favor which Thou hast 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."  

    16      Such are they from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and pass by their ill deeds: (they shall be) among the Companions of the Garden: a promise of truth which was made to them (in this life).  

    17      But (there is one) who says to his parents "Fie on you! Do ye hold out the promise to me that I shall be raised up even though generations have passed before me (without rising again)? " And they two seek Allah's aid (and rebuke the son): "Woe to thee! Have Faith! For the promise of Allah is True." But he says "This is nothing but tales of the ancients!"  

    18      Such are they against whom is proved the Sentence among the previous generations of Jinns and men that have passed away; for they will be (utterly) lost. 

     

    Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 6 Surah Anaam verse 151:

    151    Say: "Come I will rehearse what Allah hath (really) prohibited you from": join not anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents: kill not your children on a plea of want;  We provide sustenance for you and for them;  come not nigh to shameful deeds whether open or secret; take not life which Allah hath made sacred except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you that ye may learn wisdom. 

     

    Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah Nisaa verse 36:

    36      Serve Allah and join not any partners with Him: and do good to parents kinsfolk orphans those in need, neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side the way-farer (ye meet) and what your right hands possess: for Allah loveth not the arrogant the vainglorious; 

     

    Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 2 Surah Baqarah verse 215:

    215    They ask thee what they should spend (in charity).  Say: ‘Whatever ye spend that is good is for parents and kindred and orphans and those in want and for wayfarers.  And whatever ye do that is good Allah knoweth it well.’ 

     

    Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 4941        Narrated by Abu Umamah

    A man said, "O Messenger of Allah (saws), what rights can parents demand from their children?"  He (saws) replied, "They are (or your relation with them will determine) your Paradise or your Hell."

     

    Sahih Muslim Hadith  6189    Narrated by Abu Hurayrah

    Allah's Messenger (saws) said: ‘Let him be humbled into dust!  Let him be humbled into dust!’ It was said: ‘O Allah's Messenger (saws), who is he?’  He (saws) said: ‘He who sees either of his parents during their old age or he sees both of them, but he does not enter Paradise (through his deeds of service towards them)!’

     

    Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 5120  Narrated by Mu'awiyah ibn Hayadah

    I asked: ‘O Messenger of Allah(saws)! To whom should I show kindness most?’  He (saws) replied: ‘Your mother.’  I asked (again): ‘Who next?’. He (saws) replied: ‘Your mother!’.  I asked: ‘Who next?’  He (saws) replied: ‘Your mother!’  I asked again: ‘Who next?’ and he (saws) replied: ‘Your father, and then your relatives in order of relationship.’

     

    Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 4939        Narrated by Mu'awiyah ibn Jahimah

    Jahimah came to the Prophet (saws) and said, "Messenger of Allah (saws), I desire to go on a military expedition and I have come to consult you.  He (saws) asked him if he had a mother, and when he replied that he had, he (saws) said, "Stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet."
