The parents have no material power over their children.

A man has a right to spend on himself whatever he earns by his own hard work.

The fact is that if a man gives deep consideration to God’s creations, he will feel that the presence of God is reflected in everything.

Human procreation takes place through a father and a mother who nurture their offspring through infancy to adulthood.

This is, so to say, the natural system of man’s training, which ensures that he develops a keen consciousness of his duties towards human beings along with the feeling that he must acknowledge the grace of his Benefactor and discharge his duties towards Him.

This feeling teaches a man two things: firstly, to honour his pledges towards other men and, secondly, to fulfill important obligations to God, the Creator and Lord.

He scrupulously fulfilled his duties to his parents and was completely devoid of arrogance or willfulness.

The demands of social life require people to meet each other frequently.

Of all the creatures, a man’s parents have the greatest right over him.

But, just as everything has a limit, so also do the parent’s rights have a limit, in the sense that—according to the Prophet’s tradition—‘no obedience may be shown to any creature if it means disobedience to the Creator.’

After God, a man’s parents have the first claim upon his loyalty.

One of the proofs of the Quran being true is that it tallies exactly with forecasts made in the previous divine scriptures.

The greatest weapon of a preacher of Truth is his ability to treat people well.

There is a blood relationship between father and son, which is a powerful factor in keeping a son attached to his father and make him like-minded whatever the conditions.

Man has the utmost attachment for his children.

He may talk of principles on every other subject, but where his children are concerned, he becomes unprincipled.

That is why it is mentioned in a tradition of the Prophet Muhammad that children cause their parents to be timid and miserly.

Man and woman both are born as independent beings.

But at the same time both are complementary to each other in the full sense of the word.

This harmony is so perfect that each of them feels that he or she was created for the other.

Our life is social in nature.

That is why everyone, according to his tastes and aptitudes, forms a circle of his own in which to spend his days and nights.

It is necessary for those who fear God and want to tread the path of faith to befriend those who are sincere, truthful, and God-fearing, and who are consistent in their words and deeds.

Every believer is the well-wisher and companion of other believers, so much so, that the whole atmosphere becomes that of an abode of peace and tranquillity.
