Father - An Islamic Perspective

The perfect gift to give a loved one or indeed to educate oneself as to the significance Islam places on this important relationship through relevant Qur'anic Ayah, Hadith, and Islamic Poetry.

And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. And if one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them, but address them in terms of honour. And, lower to them (out of kindness), the wing of submission through mercy, and say, My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy, as they cherished me and brought me up when I was small.as servants of Allah. (Muslim)
