Parents are the special gifts of God for the children. Their love for the children is neither measurable nor comparable. So we have some duties to our parents. Our duties to them are sacred and next to God.
Parents are the only persons through whom we can see the light of the world. They bring us up with their best care and affection. They always look for our good and welfare as long as they live. They are ready to make any sacrifice—even their lives for us. So it is our bounden duty to obey and respect them.
They are our best guides. We should also try our best to make them happy. In our boyhood we should obey them. It will please them. If we are disobedient, they will be sorry. When we are grown up we should follow their advice, because they are our best well-wishers.
When they are old we should look after them and care for their good food, clothing and health. It is our utmost duty to look after them in their last days. They cannot earn anymore. Then they need both financial and mental support from their children. The children should become the asset of their parents at that stage and should bear the burden of nursing and caring. If they are pleased, Allah will also be pleased with us and bless us.
We may find many examples of unique obedience to parents from the life of great men like Hazrat Abdul Kadir Zilani, Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar, litte boy Bayazid etc. We cannot repay a particle of our debt to our parents. But we can easily please them with our obedience, responsibility, love and respect to them. If the children all over the world obey their parents, 1 think, the world would be a peaceful heaven.
