The reward of goodness is nothing but goodness.

Peace be on you...We cannot ever reciprocate the favor of our parents; the favor they extend to us in our infancy. The Holy Quran enjoins us to be always kind to them and pray for them.

Favors of God on us are much much more than those of our parents. We can never return His favors back. He is Rahman (Graciuos, He blesses us, even without our request) and Raheem (Repeats His Mercy, He blesses our efforts and requests). Hence, to answer His favors all we can humbly offer is to worship Him as He requires:

And I have not created the Jinn (hidden people) and the men but that they may worship Me. (51:57)

Five daily Prayers / Salat, general remembrance of God with love and seeking knowledge of God and undertaking any task for the pleasure of God are forms of worship, reminds the Caliph to promised Reformer (w.alislam.org) in Friday sermon from Bologna, Italy.

Wise people always remember they have to die someday but no one knows its real time. They keep their affairs in order and pay dues of God and people. According to promised reformer, dues of people are of two kinds: one kind is towards one’s brothers in religion and second kind is sincere compassion towards humanity in general; unless one prays for one’s enemy one’s heart is not cleaned properly. He said, the biggest obligation is to worship God, even if there was to be no concept of heaven and hell.

To bring about positive changes in selves and raising children according to divinely given model can ensure spread of true peaceful faith.

"one kind is towards one’s brothers in religion and second kind is sincere compassion towards humanity in general..." in the west we're cynical: one kind is towards our loving neighbors whomever we may get stuck about, and the second kind is faking and supporting good dealing with the bank over our private property.
