None of us have chosen our parents. The Almighty decided through whom we would come into this world, as a blessing and a test for both sides.
Our parents looked after us when we were helpless infants, so why do we find it a burden to look after them when they are aged and in need of care?
Kindness to parents is decreed upon us. Never utter a disrespectful word to them even in disagreement.
Pray for them to attain the Mercy of the Almighty, guidance and goodness for they brought us up praying for our goodness so sincerely.
Obedience of parents is a duty unless they ask us to go against the instruction of the Almighty or to do something unreasonable.. Then too, we must always respect them.
Serving one's parents in old age is as good as opening the doors of Paradise for oneself, so don't miss out.
In old age, sometimes all they want is for us to sit with them and show some interest in their stories of the past, or call them from afar simply asking how they're doing.
May the Almighty forgive our shortcomings and shower our parents with His Mercy.
