Description:

Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life say not to them a word of contempt nor repel them but address them in terms of honour. And out of kindness lower to them the wing of humility and say My Lord bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood Noble Quran 17 23-24 ---- Explaining the verse And lower unto them the wing of submission through mercy - Imam Jafar al-Sadiq said When you look at them do not fill your eyes with anything else but mercy and sympathy and do not raise your voice above their voice and do not put your hand above theirs and do not go in front of them
