up with love when you were very weak. Further, do not become stingy in spending for the thing they need. This means that no one can fulfil the rights of the favours of parents, regardless of how great a person treats and looks after them in the world.  Therefore a bondman should make Du’a to Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ to have grace and mercy on them and should humbly say: O my Lord! My act of looking after [my parents] cannot be the return for their favours; You have mercy on them so that it can be the return for their favours.

Regarding Ayah 83 of Surah Al-Baqarah, part 1 he (Allamah Sayyid Mufti Muhammad Naeemuddin Muradabadi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه) says: ‘The ways of doing favours to parents, which have been narrated, are as follows: (1) One should love them from the bottom of his heart (2) He must respect them while conversing and spending time with them (3) He should use respectful words for them (4) He should try to please them (5) He should not conceal his excellent (wealth/belongings) from them (6) He should act upon their wills after their death (7) He should make Isal-e-Sawab for them by Fatihah, Sadaqat and recitation of the Holy Quran (8) He should make Du’a of forgiveness for them from Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ (9) He should visit their graves every week (10) It is also included in doing good to parents that if they are habitual of committing sins or have any corrupt beliefs, their children should try to reform them, persuade them towards piety, correct their corrupt beliefs with extreme politeness. In short, if someone serves his parents throughout his life, even then it is not possible for him return their favours. (Khazain-ul-Irfan, Parah 1, Surah Al-Baqarah, Taht-al-Ayah 83)

Dear Islamic brothers! The way we have been persuaded to respect and revere parents in the Holy Quran, similarly, we have been commanded to obey parents at many places in blessed Ahadees and their glory and greatness have also been stated.
