\viewkind4\uc1\pard\ltrpar\fi720\lang1033\f0\fs28 One of the greatest obligations in Islam is the right of the parents upon their offspring. God, the Exalted, most frequently associates kindness to parents with his worship. In His Noble Scripture, He says: "And your Lord has prescribed that you shall not worship (any) but Him, and (you do) kindness to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, then do not say "ugh" to them and do not chide them, but speak to them a generous word. And make yourself submissively gentle to them with compassion, and say, "O my Lord, have compassion on them as they brought me up (when I was) little"' (17:23-24).
\par \pard\ltrpar ab It is obvious from these two noble verses that there is a sense of unity in terms of the divine command since He has made His worship associated with kindness to one's parents. In his explanation of the meaning of kindness mentioned in the verse above, Imam al-Sadiq (A) says: "Kindness is to be kind to their company and not to trouble them so as to ask you what they need even though they are independent." In other words, a believer must show extremely gentle concern when dealing with their parents and should try to anticipate their needs before they even ask.
