Description
Some good stories and narrations that demonstrate the Birr (being dutiful) and kindness of our righteous towards their parents’ needs and necessities.
The ways in which one can show them kindness and respect are many, e.g., visiting them, speaking kindly to them, lowering to them the wing of humility, giving them gifts, and so on. When you go to visit them with the hope of earning reward from Allaah, this is a great form of worship Dont be a Muslim ‘activist’ if all your activity is going to be outside the home. And dont be an Islamic ‘terror’ to your family: coming in like a whirlwind, from time-to-time, upsetting your Parents and Family
‘Your Lord has decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour’
{TM Qur’an Al-Isra 17:23}
