Being Kind and Dutiful to Parents is an Obligation, Together with Worship Allah

The Quran consistently emphasize the importance of being dutiful and kind to parents, highlighting gratitude, care, and humility towards them, especially during their old age. [17:23, 31:14-15, 29:8, 46:15, 4:36, 2:83]

Despite the clear Quranic guidance emphasizing kindness and respect towards parents, many children may not heed these commands. Some reasons why?

Lack of religious awareness, peer influence, and cultural norms and influence are common.

In some cultures, emphasis on individual success, career, or lifestyle can lead to children placing their personal ambitions above their responsibilities to their parents.

The influence of peer groups and media can also promote lifestyles that do not align with the concept of family care and respect for parents.

The fast-paced nature of modern life, along with the influence of social media and technology, can lead to children becoming more self-centered or distracted.
