In the Roman Catholic tradition, fathers are celebrated on Saint Joseph’s Day, commonly called the Feast of Saint Joseph, March 19, though in certain countries Father’s Day has become a secular celebration. It is also common for Catholics to honour their “spiritual father,” their parish priest, on Father’s Day.

‘Islam does not recognize the concept of Father’s Day and Mother’s Day.

Every single moment of our lives is for our fathers and our mothers. Shariah has placed much emphasis on the rights of parents.’
