Anas radiallahu anhu related to us that (once) the Prophet Sallallahu alaihe wasallam was asked
about the major sins. He replied: “To associate anyone with Allah; to disobey the parents and cause
them pain or injury; to kill unlawfully; and to give false evidence.
101
Your parents have rights over you and those are:
1. Love and respect, as much as possible, because they are the most deserving of people your good
companionship.
2. Taking care of them and looking after their affairs if they need that; this is a debt that rests on
the child’s shoulders.
3. Not offending them or saying or doing anything that they dislike. Allah says (interpretation of the
meaning): “say not to them a word of disrespect”
102
4. Spending on them if they are in need.
5. Obeying them when they tell you to do something good. But if they tell you to do something bad,
such as shirk, then there should be no obedience to any created being if it involves disobedience to
the
Creator.
Allah
says
(interpretation
of
the
meaning):
“But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have
no knowledge, then obey them not; but behave with them in the world kindly”
