ALLAH has commanded us to treat our parents well, and He has linked this to the command to worship Him and the prohibition of associating anything in worship with Him.
ALLAH says (interpretation of the meaning):
"Worship none but ALLAH (Alone) and be dutiful and good to parents..." (al-Baqarah 2:83)
Ibn Abbas said : "The means treating them with respect and kindness, and lowering the wing of humility to them, not answering them harshly or glaring at them, not raising one's voice to them, but being as humble towards them as a slave towards his master."
Being kind and dutiful to patents means to obey one's parents, show them love and respect and help them with whatever means available such as exerting effort or spending money. It also means talking to them in the most polite and grateful manner, listening to them when they talk and never show dissatisfaction or resentment towards them.
Indeed ISLAM advocates us to be kind and dutiful to our parents and deal with them in the best manner.
