In this verse of the Quran of Suratawba

00:00:03 --> 00:00:04

chapter 9 verse number 24,

00:00:05 --> 00:00:06

Allah I think

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

whether it be for fathers. And you know

00:00:10 --> 00:00:10

the Quran

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

respects the parents the highest

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

after Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

Allah says in the Quran in Surah Isra

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

chapter number 17, verse number 27, 24.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:23

We have ordained for you

00:00:25 --> 00:00:25

that you worship

00:00:26 --> 00:00:27

but one Allah,

00:00:28 --> 00:00:30

and that you be kind to your parents.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

So after Allah, comes the parents.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

Let you be kind to your parents, and

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

if one of them or both of them

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

reach old age, do not say a word

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42

of contempt. Don't say off to them. That

00:00:42 --> 00:00:44

means 1 or both of your parents reach

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

old age.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

Whatever they say, you cannot retaliate, you can't

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

even say off to them. So much you

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

have to respect them.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

Don't say oof to them, but rather

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

address them with honor.

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

Lower to them your view of humility,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

and pray to thy Lord that bless them

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

as they cherish me in childhood.
