Can a good intention rectify a corrupt act in terms of disobeying one's parents, and how can one be delivered from this disobedience given the intense anger?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Disobeying one's parents is one of the gravest sins, and anger is not an excuse for committing it; rather, it is an ailment that must be treated by striving against the self. If that does not succeed, one can resort to psychiatrists. A good intention alone to honor one's parents is not enough; it must be coupled with good deeds, for faith is قول وعمل ونية (statement, action, and intention), and persistence in wrongdoing indicates a corrupt intention.
