Woman = Responsible for home + for education of children
Both = Look after home, love + care for children, set good example, ensure child attends madrassah (to learn to read Qur'an + Islamic teachings), instruct how to keep halal + follow 5 pills
Role of children - Duty to Allah and then their parents to behave + be respectful
'And treat your parents with kindness'
The Elderly - have special importance, treated with profound respect
