Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah bless you. Is directing supplication to the parents more important, or to the rulers, or to the homeland? What is the virtue of that?
Answer:
Yes, supplicating for the parents is among the most important types of supplication. Allah (Exalted and Majestic) says:[Luqman 31:14] He, the Exalted, said: [Al-Isra 17:23] So the right of the parents comes after the right of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) because of the emphasis on their right over the child. Yes.
