~~ Mahmud Ashraf 


In Islam, respect and prayers to parents hold a significant value and are considered fundamental aspects of a Muslim's life. The Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad emphasize the importance of honoring and obeying parents as a means to earn blessings and gain proximity to Allah.

The Quran mentions in multiple verses the obligation to treat parents with kindness and respect. In Surah Al-Isra, verse 23-24, Allah says, "And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], 'uff,' and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word." This verse highlights the necessity of showing gratitude and respect towards parents, even in the smallest of actions.

Prophet Muhammad further emphasized the status of parents in Islam through his sayings. He stated, "Paradise lies at the feet of your mother" (Sunan an-Nasa'i). This Hadith underscores the importance of honoring and obeying mothers as a means to attain paradise.

It is believed that respecting and obeying parents not only pleases them but also earns Allah's favor. In fact, the act of serving and caring for one's parents is considered a form of worship in Islam. By obeying and respecting parents, Muslims can seek forgiveness for their sins, as it pleases Allah.

Therefore, it is essential for Muslims to prioritize the well-being and happiness of their parents. This includes speaking to them kindly, taking care of them in their old age, and seeking their advice and guidance in important matters. By showing respect and prayers to parents, Muslims can strengthen their relationship with Allah and earn His blessings.

In conclusion, respect and prayers to parents hold immense importance in Islam. By honoring and obeying parents, Muslims can earn Allah's favor, seek forgiveness for their sins, and strengthen their bond with their Creator. It is crucial for every Muslim to prioritize the well-being and happiness of their parents as a means to attain success in this life and the hereafter.
