[Mucahit1963]

17. SURAH AL ISRA ( The Night Journey ) - 23. And your Lord has commanded that you shall not serve ( any ) but Him, and goodness to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say not to them ( so much as ) "Ugh" nor chide them, and speak to them a generous word.

24 - And make yourself submissively gentle to them with compassion, and say : O my Lord ! have compassion on them, as they brought me up ( when I was ) little.

[Mucahit1963]

17. SURAH AL ISRA ( The Night Journey ) - 23 ) Your Lord has enjoined the following: * 25 1. You should not worship anyone but Him. *26

*25 In the succeeding verses, those main basic principles have been put forward on which Islam desires to build the whole structure of human life.

[Mucahit1963]

These form, so to say, the Manifesto of the Invitation of the Holy Prophet declared by him at the end of the Makki stage of his mission, on the eve of the new stage at AI-Madinah so that it should be known to aII that the new Islamic Society and State were going to be built on such and such ideological, moral, cultural economic and legal principles. (Please also refer to vv. 151-153 and E.N.'s thereof of Chapter VI ).

[Mucahit1963]

* 26 This commandment is very comprehensive. It prohibits not only the worship of anyone except AIIah but also implies that one should obey and serve and submit to AIIah alone without question: one should accept His Commandments and Law alone to be worthy of obedience and His authority to be supreme above aII. This was not merely an instruction confined to a religious creed and individual practice but it served as the foundation of the moral, cultural, and political system

[Mucahit1963]

which was practically established in Al-Madinah by the Holy Prophet. Its first and foremost principle was that AIIah alone is the Master, Sovereign and Law-giver.

(17:24) 2. Treat your parents with great consideration; if either or both of them live with you in their old age, do not say even "fie" to them: nor rebuke them, but speak kind words to them; treat them with humility and tenderness and pray: "Lord, be merciful to them just as they brought me up with kindness and affection."

[Mucahit1963]

31 - LUQMAN -14. And We have enjoined man in respect of his parents--

[allasain]

Allah ho Akbar Subhanallah

[prettypearlysheikh]

subhanAllah lovely vid 

[Mucahit1963]

his mother bears him with faintings upon faintings and his weaning takes two years-- saying: Be grateful to Me and to both your parents; to Me is the eventual coming.

31 - Luqman 14. And [God says:] We have enjoined upon man goodness towards his parents: his mother bore him by bearing strain upon strain, and his utter dependence on her lasted two years: (13) [hence, O man,] be grateful towards Me and towards thy parents, [and remember that] with Me is all journeys end. (14)

[Mucahit1963]

13 - Lit., his weaning is [or takes place] within two years. According to some philologists, the term fisal circumscribes the entire period of conception, gestation, birth and earliest infancy (Taj al-Arus): in brief, the period of a childs utter dependence on its mother.

14 - Thus, gratitude towards parents, who were instrumental in ones coming to life, is here stipulated as a concomitant to mans gratitude towards God, who is the ultimate cause and source of his existence (cf. 17: 23-24).
