Toxic Parents And Their Status In The Quran
It is all rational. If parents are not kind, the Qur’an doesn’t not force one to be grateful to them. God makes it our responsibility to take care of them in their old age. If they did not do their jobs still our moral sense doesn’t allow us to leave them in their old age. We should be patient. But it is not necessary to feel grateful to them if it is not a reality.
