Pearl of Wisdom

about the verse: It is We who have dispensed among them their livelihood, 'Allah, the Exalted, told us that employment is one of the means of people's livelihood. He, in His wisdom, diversified their aspirations, motivations, and other states. Thus, He made man's employment of one another one of the means of people's livelihood ... If every one of us was forced to build for himself, make his own furniture, and produce everything himself... the world's conditions would not be bearable and people would not be able to endure them, and would find them impossible. But he ensured its management by diversifying their aspirations so that everyone performs for others that which is Employment compatible with his own capacity, in order for some of them to be served by others and for their conditions to be sound.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]
Wasa'il al-Shi'a, v. 13, p. 244, no. 3

In the Holy Qur'an


And we have enjoined man in respect of his parents (31:14)

And that ye be kind to your parents, Say not to them (so much as) ‘Fie’ nor chide them, but speak to them a generous word. (17:23)

In the Traditions


O God,

Fill me with awe of my parents,
and the awe one has towards a tyrannical sovereign,
and let me be devoted to them,
with the devotion of a compassionate mother!

Make my obedience and devotion to them
more gladdening to my eyes
than sleep to the drowsy
and more refreshing to my breast
then drink to the thirsty,
so that I may prefer their inclination
to my inclination,
set their satisfaction
before my satisfaction,
make much of their devotion to me
though it be little,
and make little of my devotion to them
though it be great.
