FOURTH POINT – IKRAM-I-MUSLIM

Ikram-i-Muslim is to respect the Muslim as a whole because of Imaan.

The aim of Ikram-i-Muslim is suppressing own needs for fulfilling the needs of others, specially the needs of own parents.

 

Rasulullah (S.A.S) says that the parents are the doors of Zannat for their sons. If anybody likes, he may keep the doors open by khidmat and fulfilling the needs of his parents, otherwise the doors will be closed.

Rasulullah (S.A.S) says, “He is not among my followers, who does not respect our elders, is not merciful to our youngsters and does not pay due reverence to our scholars.
