Kindness to Relatives is Commanded in the Same Way as SalÄt and Zakat
It is related from Imam ‘Ali-ar-RiÄa (a.s.):
“Allah has ordered Three things along with Three others, in the glorious Qur’an:
1) SalÄt is ordered along with Zakat. If one offers SalÄt but does not pay Zakat (when it is due upon him) then his SalÄt will not be accepted.
2) Allah has ordered thankfulness to Himself along with the thankfulness to one’s parents. If one is not grateful to one’s parents it is as if he has not been grateful to Allah.
3) Allah has ordered piety along with kindness to ones kith and kin. Then one who is not kind towards the relatives is not pious.”
