We should realize that our fathers have served us so much that we can never fully compensate them.
Abu Huraira (RadhiAllahu Anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:

لَا يَجْزِي وَلَدٌ وَالِدًا إِلَّا أَنْ يَجِدَهُ مَمْلُوكًا فَيَشْتَرِيَهُ فَيُعْتِقَهُ

“No child can compensate his father unless he finds him as a slave, buys him, and sets him free.”

[Source: Sahih Muslim]

Such is the great honor a father deserves.

Our duties to our parents extend even after their death. One of the best ways to honor our parents when they are gone is by being kind to their friends.

Abdullah ibn Umar, RadhiAllahu Anhu, reported: The Messenger of Allah, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:

أَبَرُّ الْبِرِّ أَنْ يَصِلَ الرَّجُلُ وُدَّ أَبِيهِ

“The best act of righteousness is that a man should maintain good relations with his father’s loved ones.”

[Source: Sahih Muslim ]

Our supplications for Allah to forgive them and have mercy on them will benefit them even as they are existing in the grave.

Abu Huraira, RadhiAllahu Anhu, reported: The Messenger of Allah, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيَرْفَعُ الدَّرَجَةَ لِلْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَنَّى لِي هَذِهِ فَيَقُولُ بِاسْتِغْفَارِ وَلَدِكَ لَكَ

“Verily, Allah the Exalted will raise the status of his righteous servants in Paradise and they will say: O Lord, what is this? Allah will say: This is due to your child seeking forgiveness for you.”

[Source: Musnad Ahmad ]

Abu Ad-Darda, RadhiAllahu Anhu, reported: The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:

“The father is the middle of the gates of Paradise, so keep this gate or lose it.”

[Source: Sunan Ibn Majah ]

It was narrated from Jabir bin ‘Abdullah, RadhiAllahu Anhu, that a man said:

“O Messenger of Allah, I have wealth and a son, and my father wants to take all my wealth.”

He, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:

“You and your wealth belong to your father.”
