Question:
He says: One of us loves his parents with the utmost love and humbles himself to them to the utmost degree of humility, because of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Isra 17:24] Is it said that this is humiliation?
Answer:
It is the opposite of arrogance. If you are arrogant toward them, you are humble toward them and not arrogant. This is not the humility that is the humility of worship; that is for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) alone. Yes.
