In Islam we must respect our elders in all situations. We can never behave badly towards them and must always speak to them in a kind and gentle manner. Our parents deserve our utmost respect so we must always obey them and look after them. We must never hurt their feelings or make them feel sad. Like our parents, teachers have a special place. They give us a very special gift called knowledge (Ilm). This gift brings us closer to Allah and makes us better people. The best of teachers were the prophets and Muhammad (pbuh) was the last of these great teachers. He taught us about Allah and living our lives. Even today, we love and respect our Prophet (pbuh) and follow his advice.
