Abstract

It is irrefutable fact that the Holy Qurʾān was revealed for the guidance of all mankind. Human being is the central subject of the Holy Qurʾān as many matters relating beginning from the birth of mankind till his death and post death have been demonstrated in the Holy Qurʾān. The Holy Qurʾān deals with human psychological attitudes in various Qurʾānic verses which explore the facts of the nature of mankind and his psychological behavior. Adherence to the obedience and kindness to parents has been emphasized in many places of the Holy Qurʾān as Allah Almighty evidently and clearly has mentioned His rights with the rights of parents in the Holy Qurʾān. Allah Almighty said: And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years give thanks to Me and to your parents, unto Me is the final destination. (Qurʾān 31:14)
