BISMILAHI RAHMANI RAHIM.( Serve Allah, and join not any partners with Him; and do good, to parents (Qur'an 4:36) ( Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents. Whether one of both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say, `My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy even as they cherished me in [childhood.') (Qur'an 17:23-24) We have enjoined on man kindness to parents . . .) (Qur'an 29:8`Abdullah ibn Mas`ud said:
"I asked the Prophet (PBUH), `Which deed is most liked by Allah (SWT)?' He said, `Prayer offered on time.' I asked him, `Then what?' He said, `Kindness and respect towards parents.' I asked him, `Then what?' He said, `Jihad for the sake of Allah (SWT).'"1A man came to the Prophet (PBUH) to "make bay`ah" and to pledge to undertake hijrah and jihad in the hope of receiving reward from Allah (SWT). The Prophet (PBUH) did not rush to accept his bay`ah, but asked him, "Are either of your parents alive?" The man said, "Yes, both of them." The Prophet (PBUH) asked, "And do you wish to receive reward from Allah (SWT)?" The man replied, "Yes." So the kind-hearted and compassionate Prophet (PBUH) told him, "Go back to your parents and keep them company in the best possible way."2 According to a report narrated by Bukhari and Muslim, a man came and asked the Prophet (PBUH) for permission to participate in jihad. He asked him, "Are your parents alive?" The man said, "Yes," so the Prophet (PBUH) told him, "So perform jihad by taking care of them."3When the mother of Sa`d ibn Abi Waqqas objected to her son's embracing Islam, she told him: "Give up Islam, or I will go on hunger strike until I die. Then you will feel shame before the Arabs, as they will say that he killed his mother." Sa`d told her, "You should know that, by Allah (SWT), even if you had a hundred souls, and they left your body one by one, I would never give up Islam." Then Allah (SWT) revealed an ayah which the Prophet (PBUH) recited to the Muslims, in which Sa`d was rebuked for the harshness of his reply to his mother:
( But if they strive to make you join in worship with Me things of which you have no knowledge, obey them not; yet bear them company in this life with justice [and consideration] . . .) (Qur'an 31:15
