[quote]Dear Mr Loveall,

Please do not get angry. I am trying to show you your argument is very wrong in the light of holy Quran. Please bear with me, I will clarify, inshallah.

First I will say that I do agree with you that we should always be polite towards parents and speak nice, kind words to them.

Now the disagreement between us is this:

You say we should obey them if there is disagreement and they do not agree with us. (I am not talking about shirk).

I say we do not have to obey them in certain situations (not talking about shirk again).

For example, if my father asks me to murder an innocent man, I will not obey my father. Even though this is not shirk, I am justified in disobeying my father. Because Allah threatens in the Quran anyone who intentionally kills a Momin will live in hell forever, it is in Sura Nisaa. So I will prefer disobeying my parents to living in Hell for eternity.

According to your logic, a child must still obey!

You quoted the holy verse:

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 (29: 8).

Then You said:

'Means if no Shirk then obey.'

Dear Sir, it does not mean 'no shirk then obey', but it means 'if shirk then don't obey'. There is a clear difference in what you have interpretted wrongly and what the verse is saying.

Allah is saying if parents ask you to do shirk, then do not obey parents. Only for this condition Allah has given this order. There is no order from Allah about other possible contentions that might arise between you and your parents. In all other cases one must again consult the holy Quran, the Sunnah, and use one's best intellectual capabilities that Allah has bestowed us. So if you parents ask you to kill someone unjustly, or to steal something, then please disobey your parents! But always be polite and kind to them.

May Allah guide us all.[/quote]
