Honouring Our Parents


M.M.M.Ahmed, Editor, Proactive Personality Developer

* Parents deserve our love and respect more than any other human on the face of earth.

* They brought us up when we burst into the world naked and with hungry mouths wide open waiting to be fed.

* Parents often sacrifice their own dreams, wealth and often work way beyond the call of duty to ensure that they give their kids the best in this world.

* Parents painstakingly teach their children to live a life good which will eventually mould the child into a pious adult who is a benefit to society and not a burden.

* In this age it is not uncommon to hear tales of some teens rebelling against their parents and completely ignoring the proper etiquette for treating parents.

* This is a real tragedy that could possibly change the face of parent/child relations for centuries to come.

* Both the parents and the children they bear should be vigilant in preserving their bond at any cost and under any circumstances.

* There is only one instance when a child is allowed to be disobedient towards a parent. And that is in the event that the parent tries to lead the child to a wrong way or attempts to force them to commit an evil deed only then can a child disobey a parent.

* However even then the child is still obliged to educate the parents about the good deeds .

* We can find another wife,another husband, another brother, another sister,another relative, another friend, another son and another daughter.But we cannot,cannot and cannot find another parent.

* Respect, obey and serve parent physically by being close and together before it is too late to do.Just offering money is not enough.

* Remember paradise lies under the feet of mother and father is the main door of the paradise.Do not say from hoon to haan to parent even if they are wrong as per Holy Quran.
