Day 11 — Kindness to parents

1. Be kind to parents — do not even say 'uff' to them

   Parents

   وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعۡبُدُواْ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ وَبِٱلۡوَٰلِدَيۡنِ اِحۡسَٰنًاۚ إِمَّا يَبۡلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلۡكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَوۡ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَآ أُفٍّ وَلَا تَنۡهَرۡهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوۡلًا كَرِيمًا

   Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him, and be kind to parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, do not say to them ˹even so much as˺ 'uff,' nor scold them. Rather, speak to them respectfully

2. Lower the wing of humility and mercy, and pray for them

   Parents

   وَٱخۡفِضۡ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱرۡحَمۡهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا

   And lower your wing ˹of humility˺ to them, in mercy, and pray, "My Lord! Have mercy on them as they cared for me when I was small."
