Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him and be good to your parents. Whether one or both of them reach old age with you, do not say to them a word of annoyance and do not repel them but rather speak to them a noble word. Lower to them the wing of humility for them out of mercy and say: My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up when I was small. (QS.17:23-24)
.
We have enjoined upon man care for his parents. His mother carried him in weakness upon weakness and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents, for to Me is the final destination. (QS.31:14)
.
Abdullah ibn Amr reported: A man came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, asking permission to strive in jihad. The Prophet ﷺ said:
. أَحَيٌّ وَالِدَاكَ
Are your parents alive?
He said yes. The Prophet ﷺ said:
فَفِيهِمَا فَجَاهِدْ
Then strive in their service.

It should be clear to us now how important it is to obey our parents and treat them well. Conversely, disobedience to parents is among the worst major sins in Islam.
Ya Allah, bless our parents, forgive them, have mercy upon them, and assist us in fulfilling our duties toward them. Ameen.
