The Child’s Duties towards His Parents

2 / 1

The Importance of the Rights of Parents

“And We have enjoined on man goodness unto his parents; and if they strive with you that you should associate (others) with Me, of which you have no knowledge, then do not obey them, unto Me is your return, and I will inform you of what you were doing.”1

“And We have enjoined on men doing of good to his parents, with trouble did his mother bear him and with trouble did she bring him forth; and the bearing of him and the weaning of him was thirty months; until when he attains his maturity and reaches forty years, he says: ‘My Lord! Grant me that I may give thanks for Your favor which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do good which pleases You and do good to me in respect of my offspring; surely I turn to You, and surely I am of those who submit.”2

“And We did enjoin upon man concerning his parents, did his mother bear him with fainting upon fainting and his weaning takes two years, (saying:)’Be grateful to Me and to your parents: unto Me is the ultimate return (of all).”3

423. The Prophet (s.a.w.) said, when he was asked about the rights of the parents upon their child: “They are your Heaven and your Hell.”4

424. Sahih al-Bukhāri, narrating from ‘Abdullah bin Mas‘ud who said: “I asked the Prophet (s.a.w.): “What is Allah’s most beloved act?”
He answered: “Performing prayers at its due time.”
I said: “What else?”
He said: “Obedience to parents.”5

(وَ وَصَّيْنَا الاْءِنسَـنَ بِوَ لِدَيْهِ حُسْنًا وَ إِن جَـهَدَاكَ لِتُشْرِكَ بِى مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِى عِلْمٌ فَلاَ تُطِعْهُمَآ إِلَىَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأُنَبِّـلـءُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ).1

(وَ وَصَّيْنَا الاْءِنسَـنَ بِوَٰلِدَيْهِ إِحْسَـنًا حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ كُرْهًا وَ وَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهًا وَ حَمْلُهُو وَ فِصَــلُهُ ثَلَـثُونَ شَهْرًا حَتَّىآ إِذَا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُو وَ بَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىآ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِىآ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَ عَلَى وَ لِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَــلِحًا تَرْضَـلـهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِى فِى ذُرِّيَّتِىآ إِنِّى تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّى مِنَ الْمـُسْلِمِينَ).2

(وَ وَصَّيْنَا الاْءِنسَـنَ بِوَ لِدَيْهِ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُو وَهْنًا عَلَى وَهْنٍ وَ فِصَــلُهُو فِى عَامَيْنِ أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِى وَ لِوَ لِدَيْكَ إِلَىَّ الْمَصِيرُ).3
