Taking parents for granted

Author: Daily Times

Sir: It is common in the western culture that young people abandon their parents in old homes.

Unfortunately, this custom is becoming a part of eastern society as well. Every now and then, we come across an old home accommodating old parents who have been deserted by their children.

Moreover, not only the grown-ups but young children disrespect their parents and disobey them. This is contrary to the teachings of our religion Islam. Hence, we need to educate young children about the importance of parents. It is our duty to take care of them and regard them with the highest respect we can accord.
