Parents

We have enjoined upon man kindness to his parents. His mother bore him with hardship and delivered him with hardship. His bearing and weaning take thirty months. When he reaches maturity and reaches forty years, he says: “My Lord, inspire me to be grateful for Your favour upon me and upon my parents, and to do righteousness that pleases You. And make my offspring upright. Truly, I turn to You in repentance, and I am of those who submit.”

46:15And We have commended unto man kindness toward parents. His mother beareth him with reluctance, and bringeth him forth with reluctance, and the bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months, till, when he attaineth full strength and reacheth forty years, he saith: My Lord! Arouse me that I may give thanks for the favour wherewith Thou hast favoured me and my parents, and that I may do right acceptable unto Thee. And be gracious unto me in the matter of my seed. Lo! I have turned unto Thee repentant, and lo! I am of those who surrender (unto Thee).
