What is the solution for dealing with parents' rejection of their son's religious commitment, their constant criticism of him, and their unresponsiveness to his advice regarding their own commitment?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Enjoining good and forbidding evil require knowledge and wisdom. Advising parents should be done with gentleness and respect, not with harshness or violence. A woman is not obligated to wear a specific type of clothing when she goes out, but she must cover her body according to Islamic conditions. A woman working outside her home is permissible if the work is lawful and does not violate Islamic law or expose her to temptation. Advise your family with gentleness and wisdom, be patient with them, strive to be dutiful and good to your parents, and supplicate for them often, for your dutifulness to them will have a greater impact. A believer's heart should be expansive with mercy and compassion for sinners, hoping for their guidance, while still denouncing evil and detesting sin.
