In Islam, it is obligatory to respect our parents, obey them, not to say a word in front of them, nor scold them, but talk to them politely and respectfully.
“And your Lord has clearly commanded that you worship none but Him and be kind to your parents.”
[Al-Isra, 23]
Respecting parents is the cause of religious and worldly improvement. Blessed are those whose parents’ shadow is over their heads, and blessed are those children who treat their parents well in all circumstances. The importance of parents can be estimated from the fact that where Allah ordered his worship, He also ordered good behavior from the parents.
