They are to be obeyed in everything other than sinful matters. It is narrated that: A person said, ‘O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! What is the right of the parents upon their children?’ He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, ‘هُمَاجَنَّتُكَ وَ نَارُكَ’, i.e. ‘They are your Paradise and your Hell.’ (Ibn-e-Majah, vol. 4, p. 186, number 3662)

Dear Islamic brothers! If we also wish to keep our parents happy, and undoubtedly all of us want this, then let us adopt such company where we learn the proper etiquettes and respect of parents and learn how to respect and honour them, and where we are encouraged to not even say ‘Uff’ to our parents.
