At about twelve locations, the Holy Quran explicitly and emphatically directed the "sons of Adam" to have an extremely balanced, highly modular and exemplary attitude towards their parents.

In two verses the instruction is general, one being Surah Ankabu't, the 29th surah, and the ether Surah Ahqa'f, the 46th surah of the Holy Book. It is stated:-

  1. And we have ordained upon man, to be humble with his parents.7
  2. And we had made it obligatory upon Man, that he should deal nicely with his parents.8

But in Surah Al-Baqarah, the Allah Almighty along with His worship has made the elegant behaviour with the parents, as a part of social contract.

priority to the respect of parents and has guided us in the following way:-
