Parents are having a key position in the life of both: the individual and family; that is why, not only has Holy Qur'an mentioned their greatness; on the contrary, on five occasions, it has mentioned fulfillment of their rights with monotheism and worship of God. [2:83, 4:36, 6:151, 17:23, 31:83]

After divine monotheism, obedience of parents and behaving nicely with them is more important than all obligatory duties, whereas failure in this regard is the greatest sin after polytheism [Al-Mizan, Vol. 38, Pg. 31]

So having understood this, what have we done with our parents? Have we fulfilled the rights of our parents upon us? How can we be dutiful to our parents? Have we fully recognised their importance in our lives?
