As one turns to respect his parents

Introduction 

In non-Islamic societies, there are many days, where certain people are honored and appreciated.Examples of this are the father's day, mother's day and labor day.In Islâm, the parents, however, not only in a single day in the year, but every day should be respected and honored.

 

The parents in the Qurân:

 

According to the noble Qurân, a Muslim child should honour his parents every day. Allâh mentioned that all people must respect their parents, you must honor any more only Allâh. In the whole Qurân there repeatedly beautiful descriptions of the parents and how they must treat them. Allâh says: " "and your master has determined that you shall serve him and be kind to parents. If now one of them or both reach's old age, so don't say to them: "Ugh!" and she won't go on, but respectful words say to them.And sink out of mercy for them the wing of humility, and say: "Mister, mercy her, as she pulled on me when I was a kid." (Sûrah 17:23-24)

 

The recognition and respect of parents are total eleven times mentioned in the Qurân. Allâh reminds the children at every opportunity because to recognize the parents and the love and care they received from their parents, to pay tribute. One example is the verse in which Allâh says: "and we have ordered the people to treat his parents with kindness. If they try but, that you join that me, which you have no knowledge, then do not obey them. I will be back, because I will reveal you to what you did." (Sûrah 29:8)

 

And: "and we have recommended the people to be good to his parents. His mother has worn him under reluctance and under reluctance to the world. "The (time of) pregnancy with him to his weaning (is) thirty months." (Sûrah 46:15)

 

1. the claim after the recognition of the parents is strongly emphasized in the following verse: "and as we do with the children of ISRA'ils met an agreement: serves none but Allah!""And you should be good to parents and relatives, the orphan and the poor!" (Sûrah 2:83)

 

2. Allâh once again stressed in the Sûra an-Nisâ (the women) that the children will be kind to her parents. He, the Almighty, says:"and serves Allah and nothing joined him in." "And you should be good to parents and relatives, orphans, the poor..." (Sûrah 4:36)

 

3. also in the Sûra al an'âm (the cattle) Allâh again emphasizes that children should be kind to your parents. He says: "say: come on!""I want to read you your Mr forbidden to you: you shall associating nothing with him, and to the parents be kind..." (Sûrah 6:151)

 

The mothers

 

Although Islâm high honors both parents, special gratitude and respect is taken the mothers. You can quite understand this when one considers the difficulties and suffering in mind, the mothers experience in their lives.

 

In this regard, there is a Hadîth of the Prophet, in which Abû hurairah reported, that a man to the Prophet came and asked him: 'Who earns my strong affection the most?' The Prophet replied: 'Your mother.' ' and who then? The Prophet said: 'Then your mother.' 'And who is it?' He said: 'Then your mother.'For the third time, the man asked: 'And who then?' "The Prophet aid: ' and then your father." (Al Bukhari)

 

Islâm recommends the children to be respectful towards parents even if the parents are not Muslims. If such parent's however strive to win their children for a non-Islamic belief, children should not obey in this respect them, they must be against them but still kind. To do this, Allâh says: "and we have ordered his parents to the people - his mother has registered him under repeated weakness, and its cessation (is) within two years:"be me and your parents grateful. " To me the outcome is." If they try but, that you join that me, which you have no knowledge, then obey them not, but go with them in the here and now in legal way." (Sûrah 31:14-15)

 

Big respect to parents

 

Islâm teaches us that respect for parents is among the deeds most loved by Allâh, and that this Act is surpassed only by the obligatory prayer, but is great as the Jihad (struggle in the way of Allah). In this regard, Abû Abdurrahmân Abdullâh told ibn MAS'ud the following: "I asked the Prophet: 'What deed is by Allâh the most loved?'" He said: ' the prayers at the right time to do it.'Then I asked: 'What's next?' The Prophet said: 'The kindness to parents.' I asked: ' what then?' "He said: ' Jihad in the way of Allah." (Ahmad)

 

Respect for parents is so great that the child and his fortune as a possession of the parents are regarded in Islâm. Aisha, that a man to the Prophet came to settle a dispute with his father, which was a loan which he had given his father. The Prophet aid to the man: "you and your assets belong to your father."(Ahmad)
