The Qur’an and Our Relationship with Our Parents

Published by admin at 5:48 pm under Religious Instruction, Family Life, Learning

The following ayat (in translation) truly encapsulates how God wants us to treat our parents:

‘Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents.
Whether one or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt,nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor.

And out of kindness, lower them the wing of humility and say:
‘My Lord! bestow on them Your Mercy as they cherished me in childhood.’

Qur’an 17:23-24
