Allah asks us to be kind

In the Quran, right after telling us to worship only Him, Allah tells us to be kind to our parents. That shows how important they are!

Not even 'uff'

Allah says we shouldn't even say 'uff', a small word of annoyance, to our parents. We speak to them gently, listen to them and help them.

Your mother, your mother, your mother

A man asked the Prophet ﷺ who deserves his best kindness. He said 'Your mother' three times, and then 'Your father'. Mums and dads work so hard for us.

“Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to your parents.”
Quran, Surah Al-Isra 17:23 (meaning)
