Duties Towards Parents

The Holy Quran Al-Isra (The Night Journey) Chapter 17 Verse 23,24 23. And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word. 24. And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small."

Rights & Duties Towards Mankind

The Holy Quran
Al-Baqarah (The Cow) - سورة البقرة
Chapter 2 Verse 215
They ask you, [O Muhammad], what they should spend. Say, "Whatever you spend of good is [to be] for parents and relatives and orphans and the needy and the traveler. And whatever you do of good - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it."
Al-'Isrā' (The Night Journey) - سورة الإسراء
Chapter 17 Verse 1
26 And give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully.
27 Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.

Miraj - The Night Journey


This was a difficult time in the life of Prophet Muhammad (swa), and this journey was a great compliment to him. The deliverance of the message was entering a new phase, and the establishment of the Muslim nation was about to begin. Prophet Muhammad (swa) was feeling overwhelmed and alone. The vast majority of Meccans had refused to heed his call or accept his message. Both his beloved uncle and cherished wife had died, and this gift (Miraj) of Allah swt offered him support and opened his eyes to the signs and wonders of the universe.
