He in his speech said that today’s youngsters don’t fulfill their duty towards their parents and that it’s a matter of great concern that home for aged are growing more and more. He said Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) exhorted people to be kind and dutiful to their parents especially so if they reach their old age. He further said that the person who takes care of his/hers parents will be rewarded in this world as well as in the hereafter also. He also in his speech gave the example of how in the earlier Arab society the birth of girl child was seen as a taboo and they used to bury her alive.
