The importance of parents in islam

The importance of parents in islam 

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ  make us understand the importance of being kind to one's parents. In a hadith he said, "Paradise (جنّت) lies at the feet of your mother." This means that by being obedient and respectful to one's mother you can earn heaven and success also.


 

  The Qur'an specifically instructs Muslims to treat their parents with kindness and respect, even if they are non-Muslims or of different faiths.

Allah say in Quran surah (Al-Isra verses 23)
"And your Allah has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age while with you, say not to them  "uff,"  and do not turn up them away, but say a kind word to them. ".

"kind word to parents in (Al-Isra verses 24)
And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy,  and say, "My Allah, have mercy upon them (my parents) as they brought me up when I was small child."




    You will never understand what your Parents sacrificed for you. until you have kids of your own.Your parents didn't leave you when you were young. So, you should never leave them when they are old.

    Parents hold a very important position in Islam and are considered as the primary source of guidance and upbringing for their children. In Islam, it is considered a fundamental duty for children to honor and respect their parents throughout their lives


Prophet Muhammad ﷺ once said, "Paradise lies at the feet of your mother," Mother is given a lot of importance in the religion of Islam.


 The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Do not deny your fathers 
(means claim to be the sons of persons other than your fathers), 
and whoever denies his father, is charged with disbelief." (Sahih al-Bukhari 6768)

Explanation: To deny the father and not to consider oneself as his son is disbelief (کفر)

  Furthermore, in Islam parents are responsible for the upbringing and education of their children. They are also responsible for the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of their children. And disobeying or disrespecting your parents in such a situation is a great sin.

  Overall In islam Parents are given a high and respected position. The Qur'an and Hadith stress the importance of treating one's parents with respect and kindness, and it is considered one of the most important duties of every Muslim.

"Abu Hurayra said, "The Prophet Mohammad was asked, 'Messenger of Allah, to whom should I be dutiful?'  
"Your mother,' 
He was asked, "Then whom?' 
'Your mother, 
He was asked, 'Then whom?" 
"Your mother,' 
He was asked, 'Then whom?' Mohmmed replied, "Your father."

Hijab (PARDA) in Islam


 Hijab's in Islam



The Quran  instructs both men and women to dress modestly, and to cover their private parts. The specific requirements for hijab vary depending on cultural and regional practices, 


but generally, Muslim women are expected to cover their hair, neck, and ears, and wear loose, non-form-fitting clothing that covers their body from their shoulders to their ankles.

Hijab is compulsory for every Muslim women 

Hijab in Islam, hijab refers to the modest dress code for Muslim women. The term hijab literally means "curtain" or "veil," but it encompasses more than just the headscarf that some Muslim women choose to wear.


The purpose of hijab in Islam is to promote modesty, respect, and privacy for both men and women. It is also seen as a way to protect women from objectification and unwanted attention, and to help them focus on their inner qualities and character rather than their physical appearance.


It's important to note that wearing hijab is a personal choice, and not all Muslim women choose to wear it. Additionally, there are many different styles and interpretations of hijab, and it can be worn in a variety of ways depending on personal preference and cultural norms.

Wives of the Prophet Muhammad  ﷺ , you are not like other women. If you fear Allah, do not be too complaisant in your speech lest those with diseased hearts should covet you; but speak in a straight forward manner.  133:321

HIJAB WITH A BAD ATTITUDE IS NOT HIJAB! HIJAB WITH TIGHT CLOTHES ON... IS NOT HIJAB! HIJAB WITH HAIR ON THE SIDE IS NOT HIJAB HIJAB WITH 5 LAYERS OF MAKEUP
IS NOT HIJAB!
HIJAB IS BEAUTIFUL
SO MAKE IT LOOK BEAUTIFULY.


Hijab
is not about Oppression but freedom from evil eyes.
