Dear Student.

Although Kalam's father was not much educated or wealthy, he possessed an "innate wisdom." Also, both of his parents were equally generous. Everyday, his selfless mother fed many people. Kalam and his siblings inherited honesty and self discipline from their father and faith in goodness and deep kindness from their mother.

We hope that this answer solves your query.
