Humans have always been social creatures and in need of friends and companions. Much of our lives is spent in interaction with others. For us Muslims who are living in a society where we are clearly a minority, the issue of choosing the right companions is essential for preserving our Deen. Befriending righteous and virtuous Muslims is an essential means for staying on the Straight Path. Strong individuals, on the other hand, are the core of a strong community, something that Muslims should always strive for.
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.
