OBEDIENCE
TO PARENTS
It is our duty to obey
our parents that is to do always what they tell to do. All we have is given to
us by our parents, food, cloth, education etc. They tend us when we are too
young to anything for ourselves.
They watch over us in times of our
sickness, provide for our amusement, teach us
about the basic role of life and
tell us about the principles of our religion and guard us from evil influences.
Obedience is a very simple way of
showing gratitude for these benefits. It is a way that well within the reach of
young infant as well as the full grown person.
Parents are not only the providers of
benefits but are the guiders of their children in all the relations of life.
There may be some cases where father and mother prove themselves unworthy of
their children as their own.
Being adult and having experience they
are in the position to form better judgments than their children.
Therefore not only is the duty of
child to obey parents but in doing this he is consulting his best interest.
Just as a growing child who would
learn to read, must attend to the instructions of his teacher so who wish to
grow up into honest and useful man must follow the dictates of their parents.
Our parents are like our pilots. We
sail in strange water; our safety depends upon those who are more experienced. i.e.
our parents.
There are many examples of disobedient
sons and daughters.
In farmer times, in Rome it was
considered as a serious crime to disobey parents.
In HOLY QURAN it is said;
“HONOUR
THE FATHER AND THY MOTHER,
THAT
THY DAYS MAY BE LONG IN THIS LAND
WHICH
THY LORD, THEY GOD GIVETH THESE”.
Disobedience
is one of the greatest cruelaties a child can inflicit upon a parent. It is a
crime which brings its own punishment. We should always obey our parents if we
want success in both of the world’s.
