It should have happened that stating Labbayk to the blessed sayings of Allah Almighty and the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم we should have got Du’as from our parents by looking after them with great zeal and enthusiasm, should have fulfilled their rights, should have carried out every permissible order of parents, should have come to them running by saying Labbayk when they called us, should have given priority to their needs, should have protected ourselves from the disobedience to parents, should have helped them in their difficult time, during their illness and in their old age and should have tried to please them in every way, but unfortunately, due to lack of Islamic knowledge, today the name of father has been included in the list of most oppressed people.
