And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful
and kind to his parents. His mother bears him with hardship And
she brings him forth with hardship, and the bearing of him, and the weaning of
him is thirty months, till when he attains full strength and reaches forty
years, he says: "My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be
grateful for Your Favour which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents,
and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You, and make my
off-spring good. Truly, I have turned to You in
repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims (submitting to Your Will)."
(15) They are those from
whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and
overlook their evil deeds. (They shall be) among the dwellers of Paradise — a promise of truth, which they have been
promised. (16) But he who says to his parents: "Fie upon you both! Do you
hold out the promise to me that I shall be raised up (again) when generations
before me have passed away (without rising)?" While they (father and
mother) invoke Allâh for help (and rebuke their son): "Woe to you!
Believe! Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true." But he says: "This is
nothing but the tales of the ancient." (17) They are those
against whom the Word (of torment) is justified among the previous generations
of jinn and mankind that have passed away. Verily, they are ever the losers (18) And for all, there
will be degrees according to that which they did, that He (Allâh) may
recompense them in full for their deeds. And they will not be wronged. (19) On the Day when those
who disbelieve (in the Oneness of Allâh Islâmic Monotheism) will be exposed to
the Fire (it will be said): "You received your good things in the life of
the world, and you took your pleasure therein. Now this Day you shall be
recompensed with a torment of humiliation, because you were arrogant in the
land without a right, and because you used to rebel against Allah's Command
(disobey Allâh). (20)
