An examination of the place of parents in Islam and the conduct involved in honouring them. The book goes beyond financial support to consider respectful speech, generosity, and obedience in what is good and proper. Drawing on the imagery of the sun, moon and stars in Prophet Yusuf’s dream, it explores family relationships while addressing both parental authority and its limits.
Who is it for?
Older teenagers and adults reflecting on their responsibilities towards parents, and families seeking a focused discussion of respect and relationships in Islam.
Why choose it?
It brings everyday behaviour into the discussion of filial duty and treats parental authority with attention to its boundaries, making it useful for thoughtful individual or family reading.
