All the congratulations and glorification belongs to Allah swt who is the Sustainer and Cherisher of the universes.

The closest significance of the word ‘Rab’ is sustainer and cherisher. Allah swt is ‘Rab’ in the planetary sense. He is the ‘Rab’ of every life and inanimate atom of any size that exists in this whole existence. All the sovereignty of Eden and Earth belongs merely to Him.

Allah swt at assorted topographic points in the Holy Quran invites. dictates and warns the people of all faiths and races to love. regard and to be compassionate with the Parents. He educates the world a particular sense of self-respect. award and regard to be given to the parents. Undoubtedly He is the ultimate authorization and the cherisher but in order to demo the importance of the parents He goes on to state in Sura-e-Kahf ( 17:24 ) “Qul rabbir jambon huma Kama rabbayani saghira…” which means He instructs the world to pray for them by naming ‘O my Godhead! Have mercy on them ( my parents ) as they cherished me when I was little’ .

Here He wants the world to understand the magnitude of self-respect. honor and regard that parents merit by naming them as a cherisher even after the fact that He being the ultimate cherisher. He elevated their place to a really high grade by explicating to mankind that the parents portion what I do in footings of sustaining and care foring the kids when they are small. Although the word ‘Rab’ used here is in a specific sense and to demo the high grade of importance of the parents to the world. He is really commanding world to honour and esteem their parents precisely in the same mode as one would honour and esteem Allah swt himself. This obeisance is merely in footings of award & A ; regard and non in footings of collapse and supplications ( ibadat ) . The supplication ( ibadat ) is merely done specific to Allah swt.

There are many topographic points in Holy Quran & A ; traditions of Masoomeen ( a. s. ) that addresses the issue of particular award and regard to be given to the parents and they uphold a particular and elevated place in the eyes of Islam.

There is an reliable Hadith that the Holy Prophet ( s. a. w. ) said: “Paradise is under the pess of the female parents! ”

In another tradition he reinforced: ”The pleasance of parents is the pleasance of Allah. and the choler of parents is the choler of Allah. ”

Amirul Momineen Imam Ali ( a. s. ) explained: “Honoring parents is one of the noblest features. ”

Imam Sadiq ( a. s. ) explained: “If a individual desires a long life and approvals. he must honour his parents and remain in contact with family. ”

Imam Reza ( a. s. ) said: “The Almighty Allah commands that thanks be given to Him and to parents. Whoever fails to thank his parents does non thank Allah. ”

The Godhead Imams ( a. s. ) even warned us from misbehaviour and noncompliance to the parents. The 6th Imam Sadiq ( AS ) said: “Disobedience towards the parents is a flagitious wickedness. for Allah has made the disobedient one rebellious and difficult. ”

He besides warned. “The mildest signifier of sick behavior towards parents is “uff” . and if Allah knew something lesser than that. He would hold forbidden it. ”

While explicating the poetry. “And lower unto them the wing of entry through mercy” ( Al-Quran 17:24 ) . 6th Imam ( a. s. ) said: “When you look at them. make non make full your eyes with anything else but clemencies and understanding. and make non raise your voice above their voice. and do non set your manus above theirs. and make non travel in forepart of them! ”

Commenting upon the ayat. “And say sort words unto them. ” Imam Al Sadiq ( a. s. ) said: “If they strike you. state to them: May Allah forgive you both. ”

Therefore. it is incumbent on us to stay by the instructions of Holy Quran and to be firm & A ; follow the instructions of Ahlu’l-Bayt ( a. s. ) . Disobeying parents is disobeying the poetries of Holy Quran & A ; denying the instructions of Masoomeen ( a. s. ) . This is doing jeer of Allah’s bids and Allah swt warns those people:

“The warning non to take the communications of Allah for mockery” . Baqarah. 2:231

“Evil was the terminal of those who rejected the communications of Allah and mocked at them” . Room 30:10

“Do non sit with people who mock at the communications of Allah otherwise you will stop in Hell with them” . Nisa. 4:140

Therefore it is really of import to stay by the bid of Allah swt that says. ‘Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him. and be sort to parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you. make non state ‘uff’ to them or call on the carpet them. but speak to them in footings of award and kindness. Treat them with humbleness. and say. ‘My Godhead! Have mercy on them. for they did attention for me when I was little’ ( 17:23 )
