Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books The Principle of Education (up' Bringing) a Word of Truth ================== Who doesn't know that the children have gigantic obligation, regarding their parents. What! just one right? Parents have tremendous rights, and one who does not accept this reality, can not be termed as human being, what to say that he is a Muslim!

At about twelve locations, the Holy Quran explicitly and emphatically directed the "sons of Adam" to have an extremely balanced, highly modular and exemplary attitude towards their parents. In two verses the instruction is general, one being Surah Ankabu't, the 29th surah, and the ether Surah Ahqa'f, the 46th surah of the Holy Book.

It is stated:- And we have ordained upon man, to be humble with his parents.7 And we had made it obligatory upon Man, that he should deal nicely with his parents.8 But in Surah Al-Baqarah, the Allah Almighty along with His worship has made the elegant behaviour with the parents, as a part of social contract.

Therefore in the context of Bani Israel, to all those who submits (mukallif) to the limits of Allah's sovereignty, this constitutional reality has been reminded in the following verse,:- And when we took oath from the sons of Israel, that you should not worship any one else, except Allah, and should have an elegant behavior with your parents.9 Similarly in Surah Nis'a the sole Creator while mentioning the Islamic system of Legislation,along with submission to Him, and the belief of His Oneness (Tauhi'd), has given priority to the respect of parents and has guided us in the following way:- _____________________________________ 7.

Surah Ankabu't, Verse: 8. 8. Surah Ahqa't. Verse: 15 9. Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse: 83 3.Worship Allah, do not make anyone His associate, and serve your parents in an examplary way.10 In Surah Anna'm, while preventing from idolatory, the need for a better approach with the parents, has emphasized.

And in this verse, the way adulatory has been declared non statutory (unconstitutional), in the same context the indecency, of the children towards their parents, has been annoUnced as contrary to the fundamental beliefs of Islam. It has been stated: 4."Oh Prophet! tell the people. --- come on: I read out all that to you, which Allah has declared forbidden (Harn'm).
