What Quran Says about behavior towards parents

Parents are considered to be the most important and the valuable part of one’s life and one must respect them and be thankful to them for all the sacrifices and pain they go through in bringing a child up. Islam has given parents a place of higher rank. Allah declared that the heaven is beneath the feet of the mother and the Allah’s happiness resides in the happiness of one’s father. Mother is given 3 times more privileged than father as she is the one who dissolves herself in his child’s existence. Allah has strictly ordered to obey and respect the parents in any case and told us to never be rude with them even if they do not agree with us at certain point. Here are some Quranic Verses in which Allah tells us to respect and be nice to our parents.

1- Chapter: 46, Verse: 15
and we have enjoined on man doing of good to his parents; with trouble did his mother bear him and with trouble did she bring him forth; and the bearing of him and the weaning of him was thirty months; until when he attains his maturity and reaches forty years, he says: my lord! grant me that i may give thanks for thy favor which thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that i may do good which pleases thee and do good to me in respect of my offspring; surely i turn to thee, and surely i am of those who submit

2- Chapter: 31, Verse: 14
And we have enjoined man in respect of his parents-- his mother bears him with fainting’s upon fainting’s and his weaning takes two years-- saying: be grateful to me and to both your parents; to me is the eventual coming

3- Chapter: 29, Verse: 8
And we have enjoined on man goodness to his parents, and if they contend with you that you should associate (others) with me, of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them, to me is your return, so i will inform you of what you did

4- Chapter: 4, Verse: 36
and serve Allah and do not associate anything with him and be good to the parents and to the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the neighbor of (your) kin and the alien neighbor, and the companion in a journey and the wayfarer and those whom your right hands possess; surely Allah does not love him who is proud, boastful;

5- Chapter: 17, Verse: 23
And your lord has commanded that you shall not serve (any) but him, and goodness to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say not to them (so much as) "ugh" nor chide them, and speak to them a generous word

6- Chapter: 2, Verse: 83
And when we made a covenant with the children of Israel: you shall not serve any but Allah and (you shall do) good to (your) parents, and to the near of kin and to the orphans and the needy, and you shall speak to men good words and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate. Then you turned back except a few of you and (now too) you turn aside

7- Chapter: 6, Verse: 151
say: come i will recite what your lord has forbidden to you-- (remember) that you do not associate anything with him and show kindness to your parents, and do not slay your children for (fear of) poverty-- we provide for you and for them-- and do not draw nigh to indecencies, those of them which are apparent and those which are concealed, and do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden except for the requirements of justice; this he has enjoined you with that you may understand
