Birth Anniversary of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (p) 1440 A.H.

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (p) is reported to have said, “Indeed the son has a right over his father and the father has a right over his son. The right of the father upon his son is that he [his son] obeys him in everything except in sinning against God. The right of the son over his father is that [the father] gives him a good name,  betters his conduct, and teaches him to learn the Quran.”

Nahjul-Balagha, Maxim 389, p.876

روي عن الإمام علي إبن أبي طالب (ع): اِنَّ لِلوَلَدِ عَلَی الوالِدِ حَقَّاً، وَاِنَّ لِلوالِدِ عَلَی الوَلَدِ حَقّاً. فَحَقُّ الوالِدِ عَلَی ألوَلَدِ: اَن يُطِيعَهُ في کُلِّ شَيءٍ إلّا في مَعصِيَةِ اللهِ سُبحانَهُ. وَحَقُّ الوَلَدِ عَلَی الوالِدِ: اَن يُحسِنَ اِسمَهُ، وَيُحَسَّنَ اَدَبَهُ، وَيُعَلِمَهُ القُرآنَ
