Being nice to parents







Hurting one's parents immensely is among the major sins. Allah threatned the one who does it with severe torture in hellfire. This means to harm either or both parents immensely, in other words causing them a lot of pain. Hurting one's parents is unlawful whether it is severe or light. Among the examples of hurting one's parent is to curse or insult them both or either one. Among what is also unlawful is if the son obeys the mother in doing injustice to the father, or vice versa. It does not benefit him if he obeys his mother yet hurt his father. In summary helping either parents to do injustice to the other is sinful. Allah said in the Quran: Allah orders not to worship except him and to treat one's parents kindly. If one of them is alive and old or both of them is alive and old do not say "OOF!" to them and do not address them with harsh words. Be humble and compassionate and address them with nice and gentle words. Allah made it unlawful to say to one's parents "OOF!" Which indicates one is bothered by them. Allah ordered one to say to one's parents a generous and gentle saying more so when they are old. Also Allah orders to speak to one's parent in a respectful manner. Allah said in the Quran what means: Allah urges one to treat one's parents nicely. Allah also said what means: Worship God without associating any partnership with Him and treat your parents in a good way

Both Ayats from the Quran encourage treating one's parents very well. Know that no matter how much one was keen on performing the five prayers, to fast, and to perform similar acts of obedience, if one inflicts immense harm to one's parents by words or deeds one will not be among the pious Muslims. So be careful to treat your parents well and be keen in avoiding harming them. May Allah bless you
