Kindness to parents



We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, & in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. 


At length, when he reaches the age of full strength & attains forty years, he says, "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favour which Thou has bestowed upon me, & upon both my parents, & that I may work righteousness such as Thou mayest approve; & be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee & truly do I bow (to Thee) in Islam."

Such are they from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds & pass by their ill deeds: (They shall be) among the Companions of the Garden: a promise! of truth, which was made to them (in this life).

But (there is one) who says to his parents, "Fie on you! Do ye hold out the promise to me that I shall be raised up, even though generations have passed before me (without rising again)?" And they two seek Allah's aid, (& rebuke the son): "Woe to thee! Have faith! for the promise of Allah is true." But he says, "This is nothing but tales of the ancients!"

Such are they against whom is proved the sentence among the previous generations of Jinns & men, that have passed away; for they will be (utterly) lost.

And to all are (assigned) degrees according to the deeds which they (have done), & in order that (Allah) may recompense their deeds, & no injustice be done to them.


And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed before the Fire, (It will be said to them): "Ye received your good things in the life of the world, & ye took your pleasure out of them: but today shall ye be recompensed with a Penalty of humiliation: for that ye were arrogant on earth without just cause, & that ye (ever) transgressed."” [46:15-20]
