Fathers in Islam
The Importance of Fathers
It is well known that Islam places a heavy emphasis on the importance of loving and respecting parents. In fact Allah (swt) has repeatedly mentioned in the Qur’an that parents hold the next highest status after our Lord and beloved Prophet (s). Allah (swt) is our supreme provider, sustainer, and protector. He uses parents as a means to provide us, as we grow, with food, shelter, clothing, guidance, and protection from harm. As creations of Allah (swt) we can never return the favors of our Lord except by being obedient and showing gratitude. The same can be said for parents. As children we can never repay the countless favors of our parents accept by being obedient and showing gratitude. Allah (swt) says in Surah 17 Ayah 23:
“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 honor.’
