Karachi, March 14, 2014 Part-4 Etiquettes of Decent Living in Islam Dealing with Parents By: Eng. S. M. Akhtarul Hassan Always try to make your parents happy. Do not say anything in opposition to their will or temperament which may displease them especially when they are advanced in age when they acquire peevish and irritable temperament. In old age parents start making unexpected demands and begin preferring impossible claims. In this case also tolerate their behaviour in good cheer and do not say any thing in anger in response to their demands which may cause them pain and may injure their feelings. Allah SwT says in the Holy Quran: “If one or both of thy parents reach an advanced age with thee, say not ‘fie’ unto them nor repulse them”. As a matter of fact, the strength to tolerate unpleasant things is sapped during old age and weakness increases the sense of self-importance in old people. Hence they react sensitively to even the minor offensive matters. Keeping in view their delicate and sensitive nature, do not let your parents feel angry by way of your words or deeds. Allah Hafiz (To be continued)
