Question:
My father is mostly harsh with me, as I am the one who calls him and he calls me with the best names. Recently, I have started to feel that being close to him invites undutifulness to parents, and being distant from him does the same. He is not in need of us financially, but he is in need of us health-wise and psychologically, yet he does not realize it; he drives them away and drives me away. What do you advise me and my brothers to do? May Allah reward you with good. You should serve him and be kind to him.
Answer:
Yes, advise him and call him to Allah the Exalted.
