manners around your parents..

assalaamu alkium sisters , 





i have seen children mistreat there parents often around the world so i wanted to make this  post to make sure everbody get the piont treat your parents right. they give you everytning you need and no matter what they are by your side when nobody else is so treat your parents right .

it is obedience to Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

And We have enjoined on man to be good and dutiful to his parents” [al-‘Ankaboot 29:8]




1. You should not cause them any harm even if they commit any excesses.


2. Respect and honour them in your speech and dealings with them.

3. Obey them in permissible acts.

4. If they are in need of money, assist them even if they are kafirs.

5. The following rights are due to parents after their death:

(a) Continue making duas of forgiveness and mercy for them. Continue sending rewards to them in the form of optional acts of worship and charity on their behalf.

(b) Meet their friends and relatives in a friendly way and also assist them wherever possible.

c) If you have the finances, fulfil their unpaid debts and the permissible bequests that they have made.

(d) When they pass away, abstain from crying and wailing aloud or else their souls will be troubled.

6. According to the Shariah, the rights of the paternal and maternal grandparents are similar to those of the parents and they should be regarded as such.

7.obeying and honouring one’s parents is a means of entering Paradise

8.respecting and obeying them is a way of showing gratitude to them because they are the ones who brought you into this world. You should also show gratitude towards them for bringing you up and taking care of you when you were young. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):


“And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents” [Luqmaan 31:14]
