-The ways in which one can show
them kindness and respect are many, e.g., visiting them, speaking kindly to
them, lowering to them the wing of humility, giving them gifts, and so on. When
you go to visit them with the hope of earning reward from Allaah, this is a
great form of worship Don’t be a Muslim 'activist' if
all your activity is going to be outside the home. And don’t be an Islamic 'terror'
to your family: coming in like a whirlwind, from time-to-time, upsetting your
Parents and Family
'Your
Lord has decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents.
Whether one or 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'
{TM Qur'an Al-Isra 17:23}
