Do you know the STATUS OF PARENTS in the light of Holy Quran & Prophets' (sas) sayings?

 
                                        

Any man who desires that his life should be prolonged and his subsistence may be increased ought to do good service to his parents and show kindness to them. (Quran)

Your entry into Paradise is Forbidden if your conduct towards your parents are bad.

Allah's pleasure ceases when parents' pleasure cease; Allah wrath ceases when parents' wrath cease.

Going against the wishes of once parents is a major sin, for such a sin punishment will take place during his life time before his death.

Allah said that you pray for your parents for mercy for having undergone untold suffering in bringing you up.

Be kind to your parents even if they are not muslims.

If a person looks with love at his parents, Allah writes in his favor the rewards equal to the performance of one Haj.

Allah said that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to your 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.

(Al-bukhari & Muslim)
