  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.

The importance of patience ( صَبْرٌ‎) in Islam

The importance of patience ( صَبْرٌ‎) in Islam

Patience (صَبْرٌ)‎ is one of the most important virtues in Islam. It is mentioned many times in the "Quran-E-Pak" and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (peace be upon him), and is considered an essential element of faith.

The importance of patience in Islam can be seen in the following ways:-

Patience is a means of earning Allah's pleasure: Allah has promised great rewards for those who are patient in the face of adversity. In the Quran, Allah says, "And be patient, for indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good" (Surah Hud, 11:115).

That patience is a way of getting the company of Allah. In the Quran, Allah says, "And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits etc. Rather give good news to those who have patience" (Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:155).

In Islam, success is not measured by material wealth or status, but by spiritual and moral excellence. Patience is a key element of this excellence, and it enables a person to persevere in their efforts to achieve their goals.

Allah say in Quran Surah (Az-Zumar)

قُلْ يَعِبَادِ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةٌ وَأَرْضُ اللَّهِ وَسِعَةً إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى
الصَّبِرُونَ أَجْرَهُم بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

"In This surah highlights the necessity of trials and difficulties in life and encourages believers to have patience during those times. The reward for patience is also mentioned in the Quran, where Allah says, "Indeed, the patience will be given their reward without account" (Surah Az-Zumar, 39:10).

Patience is not just a personal virtue in Islam, but it is also a social one. Muslims are encouraged to be patient with others and to practice forbearance and forgiveness. Allah says, "And if you punish enemy, you can gives punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed. "But if you are patient it is better for those who are patient"

Prophet Mohammad ﷺ said :-

"whoever is patient, Allah will bestow patience upon him, and no one is ever given anything better and more generous than patience."(sahi bukhari)

         In Islam, patience is seen as a means of achieving spiritual and moral excellence, and is closely linked to the concept of gratitude. A patient person is one who is able to bear hardships and difficulties patiently and without complaint while maintaining a positive attitude and faith in Allah.

Patience is a way to avoid sin: When faced with a difficult situation, a person may be tempted to react in a negative or harmful way. However, a patient person is able to control their emotions and avoid committing sin.

 

Our creator Allah say in Quran (Quran 41:34 - Surah Fussilat)

"Good and evil cannot be equal. Respond to evil' with that which is good, then the one you are in a feud (dispute) with will become like a close friend."

"Allah say in Quran"(17-SURAH LUQMAN) "

" وَأَصْبَرَ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَكَ"

"AND BE PATIENT OVER WHAT BEFALLS YOU."

Anas Bin Malik, Radiyallahu Anhu said that, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (peace be upon him) passed by a woman who was weeping beside a grave. He told her to fear Allah and be patient. She said to him, "Go away, for you have not been afflicted with a calamity like mine." And she did not recognize him. Then she was informed that he was the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. so she went to the house of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and there she did not find any guard. Then she said to him, "I did not recognize you." He said, "Verily, the patience is at the first stroke of a calamity."

"Allah say in Quran (45-Al-Baqara)"

وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ

And seek help in patience and prayer"

This is what I read when I'm upset. After reading this all my problems go away from me Alhamdulillah 

يا حي يا قيوم بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَستَغيث

Oh Living, oh Sustainer, in your mercy | plead for rescue.

(At-Tirmidhi)

Be Kind To Your Parents

And We have made some of you as a trial for others: will you have patience?
