Islam has given parents an honorable status. Parents have a duty to care for their children from the time they are young and go through much suffering for their sake. In particular, we find ourselves indebted towards our mothers. Thus, it is the duty of children to cherish and respect them. Any gratitude children will give their parents is not compared to the immense debt they owe their parents. The Qur’an as well as the Prophet Mohammed (صلى الله عليه وسلم) sayings guides us in this matter.
