Prof 3 The importance of children and parents in society cannot be overemphasized. Only children who have been supported while growing up by parents as responsible providers of social needs and spiritual fortification example can in the future have the wherewithal to ensure healthy living for the parents in their old age. This is why the Holy Bible presents a divine format for a good parent/children relationship upon which everybody would be judged by the almighty Allah.
Ephesians 6: 1-4, ''Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.''

The Hol Quran admonishes us to retrace our footsteps into a life of sanity and civility. 17: 23-24, refers '' Thy Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt or repel them, but address them in terms of honor, and out of kindness lower to them the wing of humility, and say, My Lord! Bestow on them Thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood.''
My prayer is that Allah will keep the parents to be able to serve aright their nation through responsible child-rearing while the Almighty Allah will equally fortify the children with knowledge, wisdom, and the power of the discerning mind to be able to grow aright with good payback to the society that has produced them and the nation that they are supposed to serve including their parents.
