This is easy, but really important, why should we be devoted to our parents? Because Allah said,

“And your Lord has commanded that you should not worship other than Him and that you should do good to your parents… ” QS. Al – Isra 23 – 24.

This verse is no joke. It proves that in Islam, matters with parents are very serious. Furthermore, verse 14 of Surah Luqman also reminds us of the struggles of a mother who is pregnant and breastfeeding. So if you can still feed your parents today, it’s not a burden, but a golden opportunity.

In an authentic hadith, the Prophet once said, “Allah’s pleasure depends on the parents’ approval, and Allah’s wrath depends on the parents’ wrath.” This has a very deep meaning. This means that we will not be able to seek Allah’s approval if our parents are not pleased with us. In fact, the Prophet once said that parents are the door to heaven. So if you want to live a calmer, more spacious, and full of blessings, just start from that door—be devoted.
