Noble Qur'an - Luqmaan 31:14, 15
And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years give thanks to Me and to your parents, unto Me is the final destination.

But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not, but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him who turns to Me in repentance and in obedience. Then to Me will be your return, and I shall tell you what you used to do.

Hadith - Bukhari (#24), Muslim, Dawud, and Ahmad
Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas said, "Four verses in the Qur'an were revealed concerning me. My mother had sworn an oath not to eat or drink until I had part company with Muhammad .

So Allah [swt] revealed: "But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not, but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him who turns to Me in repentance and in obedience. Then to Me will be your return, and I shall tell you what you used to do." [The Noble Qur'an - Luqman 31:15]

Hadith - Bukhari (#25), Muslim, and Dawud
Asma' bint Abi Bakr, said, "My mother (who has not yet embraced Islam) visited me in order to restore good relations after the Prophet's treaty (of Hudaybiyah). I asked the Prophet if I should have anything to do with her.

And he replied, 'Yes.'

"Allah revealed the following concerning her: "Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity." [The Noble Qur'an 60:8] Reverts should invite their family members to Islam
