Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
'Abdullah Sa'id from Abha says: Regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted,[Al-Isra 17:23], he asks: What is the wisdom behind the connection between the worship of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and the oneness of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) with dutifulness to parents?
Answer:
Yes, because the parents are the greatest benefactors toward you after Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). They fed you, raised you, and cared for you when you were small. They are the greatest benefactors after Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) toward you. Therefore, their right comes after the right of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), which indicates the importance of the parents' right. Yes.
