"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."
