لاَ تَجْعَلْ مَعَ اللهِ إِلَهاً آخَرَ فَتَقْعُدَ مَذْمُوماً مَّخْذُول(( 22 ))

22- DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH ALLAH OTHER GOD, TO SIT DOWN REPROACHED, (AND) ABANDONED.

وَقَضَى رَبُّکَ أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُوا إِلاَّ إِیَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَیْنِ إِحْسَاناً إِمَّا یَبْلُغَنَّ عِنْدَکَ الْکِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ کِلاَهُمَا فَلاَ تَقُلْ لَّهُمَا أُفّ وَلاَ تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُلْ لَّهُمَا قَوْلا کَرِیم(( 23 ))

23- AND YOUR LORD HAS DECREED, THAT, YOU WORSHIP NO ONE EXCEPT HIM; AND TO DO GOOD TO PARENTS. IF ONE OF THEM OR BOTH ATTAIN OLD AGE WITH YOU, DO NOT SAY TO THEM; ``FIE'' (i.e. EXPRESS NOT DISGUST), AND DO NOT SHOUT AT THEM, AND SAY TO THEM HONORABLE WORD.

وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنْ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُلْ رَّبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا کَمَا رَبَّیَانِی صَغِیر(( 24 ))

24- AND LOWER TO THEM WING OF HUMILITY OUT OF MERCY, AND SAY; ``MY LORD! HAVE MERCY ON THEM AS THEY NURTURED ME WHEN I WAS SMALL.''

رَّبُّکُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِی نُفُوسِکُمْ إِنْ تَکُونُوا صَالِحِینَ فَإِنَّهُ کَانَ لِلْأَوَّابِینَ غَفُور(( 25 ))

25- YOUR LORD KNOWS BEST WHAT IS IN YOUR MINDS. IF YOU BECOME RIGHTEOUS THEN HE IS FORGIVING TO THOSE WHO TURN TO HIM. (IN REPENTANCE)
