In Islam, the bond between children and their parents is regarded as sacred, a principle deeply rooted in the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). However, contemporary Muslim families face challenges in upholding these principles amidst the demands of modern society, creating a gap between traditional doctrines and present-day practices. This article explores the fundamental principles of adab (etiquette) toward parents as outlined in Kitab al-Adab al-Mufradby al-Bukhari, a seminal work on Islamic ethics. Employing thematic analysis, the study delves into the core teachings of the text to address these challenges. The findings underscore the timeless significance of respect, compassion, and the serious consequences of disobedience, illustrating how these values can strengthen familial bonds. Revitalizing these teachings offers a pathway to harmonize traditional Islamic values with contemporary family dynamics. Moreover, the study highlights the practical importance of integrating these enduring principles into daily life, emphasizing the pivotal role of parental respect in fostering ethical and harmonious family relationships
