Don’t warn them offensively if they boast or speak highly of themselves.

If they cause problems because they are old and unable, be patient.

Share their problems.

Try not to cause or give them harm.

Provide them with clothing better than yours.

Provide them with food better than yours.

Serve them in a serious and sincere way.

Help them reach their desires and make them happy.

Provide them with their needs.

Do not be mean toward them.

Adopt their friends as yours.

Remember them after they die, do favours and charities on their behalf, recite from the Qur’an and have its verses recited for their benefit. For the Türkmen holds that it is the prayers of the children that reach the souls of the deceased parents first. After their demise, one means of doing good on their behalf in this world is their children’s righteous deeds.
