In Islam, elderly individuals hold a position of great honor and respect, with numerous rights and responsibilities placed upon families and society to ensure their care and dignity. These rights are rooted in the Qur’an and Hadith (the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad), and they are fundamental to Islamic ethics and community life. Here are some of the key rights of the elderly in Islam:
1. Respect and Honor

  • Respecting Parents: The Qur’an emphasizes respect for parents, especially in old age. Muslims are instructed not to show irritation or impatience but instead to treat their parents with kindness and humility. The Qur’an states:
    “And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them so much as, ‘uff,’ and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.” (Qur’an 17:23)
  • Showing Patience and Care: In Hadith, Prophet Muhammad also emphasized that serving one’s parents, particularly in their old age, is an act of worship and a means of entering Paradise.
