becoming the neighbour of a Nabi in Paradise, whereas by virtue of the Du’a of his mother, Muhaddis-e-A’zam رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was given the Sardari (leadership) of Deen and the world as well. It has also been learnt that our pious predecessors would get Du’as of their mothers after keeping them happy by looking after them. Therefore following in the footsteps of these Allah-loving people, we should also get ready to look after our mother so that we also become the apple of our mother’s eye and she feel pleased with us and make Du’as for us that O my Lord!; bless her with the success in both the worlds; make her enter Paradise without any accountability; be pleased with her forever, etc.! Let’s all make intention that we will continue to look after our parents; we will not disobey them; we will not speak rudely to them; we will lower our voice and gaze before them; we will be patient upon their harsh sentences and the things they do contrary to our mood; we will fulfil their needs; we will take care of their likes and dislikes; we will help them in their suffering and trouble; we will not disturb them when they are taking a rest; we will try to bring round our angry parents; we will do good to them regarding their food, living, medicines and other things; we will obey every permissible order of theirs. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ

صَلُّوۡ اعَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                  صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! Surely, it is a must for children to obey their parents. However, if parents order them to do anything contrary to Shariyya, such as do not observe Purdah (Sharee veil) etc., so in this case, Shari’ah has forbidden to obey their order because it is not permissible to obey the creation by disobeying Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.

If parents quarrel with each other, what should children do?

A’la Hadrat, Imam-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat, Maulana Shah Imam Ahmad Raza Khan رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: If there is a quarrel between parents, children should neither support the mother nor the father. They should not treat their father harshly out of their mother’s love. Hurting the feelings of the father, answering him back and talking to him rudely with disrespect are all Haraam
