Tips to Earning Rewards from Allah. 10 of 15 September 11th, 2008

10. Being obedient and respectful to one’s parents: This is one of the greatest ways to attain Allah’s pleasure and reward. Allah mentions worshipping Him together with obeying one’s parents. Allah says in the Quran, “Your Lord has decreed that you worship none save Him, and that you show kindness to parents. If one of them or both of them attain to old age with you, say not ‘File’ unto them nor repulse them, but speak unto them a gracious word. And lower unto them the wing of submission through mercy and say, ‘My Lord, have mercy on them both as they did care for me when I was little’” (Al-Isra)
