It is He Alone that bless people and guide them. It is also the only way for a person\u2019s salvation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">In the Quran Allah speak about respecting the parents after showing the importance of worshipping him alone (Surah Isra Ayah 23)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">\u201cAnd your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him and do good to parents. If either of them or both reach old age, do not say to them uff (a word of anger or contempt) and do not scold them. And address them with respectful words.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">This shows the great importance of obeying and respecting one\u2019s parent. However the scholars mention that obedience is when it is obedience to Allah. If a person is told to do something which will be sinful and impermissible, then one must not obey them. As the hadith mention:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">\u201cNo obedience for evil deeds, obedience is required only in what is good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Hence it will not be permissible for a Muslim to go to church and for the parent to be followed. As muslim we are prohibited to enter church as these are places of evils.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">It will also be impermissible to read and translate the book which contains words of kufr as this will affect one\u2019s Imaan or even possibly render a person apostate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Therefore it will be important that one reveal the truth. There will be opposition in the beginning and one will have to endure it and make dua constantly. Slowly but surely there will be understanding afterwards and they will accept it. Allah will not put a person through something which he will not be able to bear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;\">Only Allah
