The book written by Mualana Noor Muhammad Salasi is a detailed commentary and explanation of the 24th supplication from the Sahifa Sajjadiya, the famous collection of prayers by Imam Zain-ul-Abideen (also known as Imam Sajjad). This specific prayer is dedicated to one's parents.
The author dedicates the book to the parents of Imam Sajjad(as), Imam Hussain(as) and Bibi Shahr Bano(sa). The introduction explains that the Sahifa Sajjadiya itself is a monumental work in Shia Islam, often referred to as the "Zabur of Aal-e-Muhammad(saww)" (Psalms of the family of Muhammad) and the "Injeel of Ahl al-Bayt(as)" (Gospel of the Prophet's household).
Sahifa-e-Walidain aims to explore the profound meanings within this prayer, focusing on the immense respect, rights, and spiritual station afforded to parents in Islam. It delves into the etiquette of how children should treat their parents, pray for them, and honor their memory, all through the lens of Imam Sajjad's eloquent supplication. The book covers various topics such as the greatness of parents, the spiritual rewards for serving them, and the consequences of disobedience, drawing upon Quranic verses and narrations from the Prophet and the Imams to elaborate on the prayer's themes.
