Rights of Parents in Islam – With References to the Quran and Hadith

Parents are one of Allah’s (SWT) greatest blessings. Everyone in the world must love and respect their parents. Only Islam places such a high value on parents. Islam has granted parents rights, and every Muslim child is required to exercise these rights.

As Muslims, we should always express gratitude to our parents. Parents at various phases of life have sacrificed many things, including their happiness, for their children’s well-being. We must, therefore, love and cherish our parents. Give them all the respect they deserve. There is no way to ignore the rights of the parents. Those who do so shall face accountability to ALLAH (SWT) on the Day of Judgment. They will also meet the penalties in this life and the afterlife.
