240 The Glad Tidings of the Messiah (pbuh)

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honor
your father and mother; (which is the first commandment with
promise;) That it may be well with you, and you may live long on
the Earth. (Ephesians 6: 1-3)

Torah
Honor your father and your mother... (Exodus 20:12)

PROTECTING THE NEEDY

... Any wealth you give away should go to your
parents and relatives, and to orphans, the very
poor, and travellers. Whatever good you do,
Allah knows it. (Surat al-Baqara, 215)

What reason could you have for not fighting in the
Way of Allah—for those men, women, and chil-
dren who are oppressed and say: "Our Lord,
take us out of this city whose inhabitants
are wrongdoers! Give us a protector from
You! Give us a helper from You!"? (Surat
an-Nisa', 75)

Gospel:
You shall do no unrighteousness in judgment:
you shall not respect the person of the poor,
nor honor the person of the mighty; but in
righteousness shall you judge your neigh-
bor.
