The biggest sin in Islam is polytheism, in many hadiths disobeying mother and father is next to this heinous act. Caring about parents also has been given much stress in the prophetic words to the extent that it is more preferred to Jihad, the term Jihad in the following hadith means the defensive wars that were launched against the enemies of Islam who were keen to undermine the Islamic state; Abdullah ibn Masud by way of Abu Amr ash-Shaybani says: I asked the Prophet, May Allah bless him and grant him peace, which action Allah loves best. He replied, "Prayer at its proper time." I asked, "Then what?" He said, "Then beautiful conduct to parents." I asked, "Then what?" He replied, "Then jihad in the Way of Allah."
