Concerning this type of child the Noble Qur-an has the following comment: "Those are they from whom We accept the best of what they do, and We overlook their evil deeds among the dwellers of Paradise - a promise of truth, which they have been promised (in the world)."

The Noble Qur-an then turns to the other category of or children who are disbelievers and are, as a result, ungrateful to their parents.  It declares:

"As for him who said to his parents: Fie upon you both! Do you threaten me that I shall be brought forth (again) when generations before me have passed away! While they too cry unto Allah for help and say: Woe unto you! Believe! Verily, the promise of Allah is true. But he says: This is nothing but fables of the ancient." 

Commenting on this attitude Allah says:

"Such are those whom the Word concerning nations of the jinn and mankind which have passed away before them has effect. Verily, they are the losers. And for each there will be degrees due to what they did; that He may recompense them in full for their deeds! And they will not be wronged." (Qur-an, 46:15-19).

The forth and last place in the Noble Qur-an that refers to parents-child relationship is what is mentioned briefly in chapter 29 that says:

"We have enjoined on man to be good and dutiful to his parents. But should they strive to make you join with Me that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not.  Unto Me is your return and I shall tell you what you used to do." (Qur-an, 29:8)
