00:17their parents because they were wrong, they didn't say you are my parents so I cannot

00:22correct you.

00:23You correct them, but be kind and respectful.

00:26Because when Allah speaks about parents in the Quran, instead of using the term obedience,

00:31He always uses the term kindness.

00:33Be kind to your parents.

00:45Allah has declared you shall worship none besides Him and you will be kind to your parents.

00:50That verse happens to repeat itself with different wordings or that the meaning of it pointing

00:56at the same thing, to say be kind to your parents.

00:59But obedience is for Allah.

01:02Remember this.

01:03So if your mother is wrong and she is a human being, she will be wrong many times in her

01:07life.

01:08You need to stand up for justice in a kind way, explain to her.

01:14Sometimes you might have to detach.
