Respect Your Parents

Parents are the most beautiful gift for us from our creator "Allah". They are most precious in this world. Once they died no one can fulfill their lack. They brought us in this world. They have worked very hard for our nourishment and growth. They sacrifice their likes to meet the necessities of our lives.

Islam teaches us that of the most beloved deeds to Allah, having respect for one's parents is second only to that of prayer. In Islam, respect for parents is so great that the child and his wealth are considered to be the property of the parents: `Aa’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, narrated that a man came to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam in order to resolve a dispute that he had with his father regarding a loan he had given him. The Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam said to the man: "You and your wealth are to (i.e., the property of) your father."
