رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّیٰنِیْ صَغِیْرًاؕ(۲۴)

and be kind to (your) parents; if one or both of them reach old age in your presence, then do not even say “Uff!” to them, and do not scold them, and speak to them with courteous words. And lower your wing of humility to them out of affection and say, “O my Lord!  Have mercy on them (both) as they raised me when I was a child.”^[1]

On pages 92 to 94 of Jannati Zaywar, a book published by Maktaba-tul-Madinah, it has been written:

1.Beware! Beware! Do not cause any kind of inconvenience to your parents by any of your words and actions. Even if they wrong you to some extent, it is still obligatory for you not to hurt their feelings at all in all states.

2.Respect your parents by every word and every action of yours and always take care of their respect.

3.Obey the instructions of your parents in every permissible action.

4.If your parents need anything, look after them with your time and money.

5.If your parents take anything from your wealth and possessions out of need, do not think bad of it, and nor express your anger towards them, but rather consider that you and your entire wealth all belong to your parents.

It is stated in a blessed hadith that the Beloved Prophet   صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم   said to a person: ‘اَنْتَ وَ مَالُکَ لِاَبِیْکَ , meaning, “You and your wealth all belong to your father.”^[2]

6.If parents pass away, it is their right on children to keep making duas for their forgiveness. They should also continue conveying the reward of their Nafl acts of worship and charity to their souls. They should keep sending the reward to their souls after reciting Fātiḥa over food and sweet items, etc.
