Write on attitude to ones parents according to the Qur;an.

Answer Details

The Qur'an places great emphasis on kind treatment of parents, ranking it immediately after the worship of Allah. The attitude a Muslim should have towards his parents according to the Qur'an is explained below.

1. Kindness linked to worship of Allah: In Suratul-Isra' (Q.17:23) Allah commands that we worship none but Him and be good to parents. Thus obedience to parents is closely tied to obedience to Allah.
2. Gentle speech and respect: The Qur'an forbids saying even the least word of disrespect. It says do not say to them uff (a word of contempt) nor rebuke them, but speak to them a gracious word.
3. Humility and mercy: The believer is told to lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy, and to pray: My Lord, have mercy upon them as they raised me when I was small.
4. Care in old age: The Qur'an specially mentions that when one or both parents reach old age in one's care, they must be treated with patience and tenderness, not neglect.
5. Gratitude to parents: In Suratu Luqman (Q.31:14) Allah reminds us of the mother who bore her child in weakness upon weakness and nursed him, and commands: Be grateful to Me and to your parents.
6. Obedience within the limits of religion: Parents must be obeyed and honoured, but the Qur'an also states that if they strive to make one associate partners with Allah, one should not obey them in that, while still keeping company with them kindly in this world.
7. Continued good treatment even of non-Muslim parents: The Qur'an directs the believer to accompany his parents with kindness in worldly matters even if they differ in faith.
8. Prayer for parents: The believer is taught to pray for the forgiveness and mercy of his parents, both living and dead.

Conclusion: According to the Qur'an, a Muslim must honour, obey, show gratitude and mercy to his parents, care for them especially in old age, and continually pray for them, obeying them in all things except disobedience to Allah.
