Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 04)
Verses 10-13OCCASION OF REVELATION VERSE NO.8ِ9

      It is a general Law that mankind has to respect his parents and to do good to them. Although this is a religious law and one of the commandments, it also is a natural Law of creation. This Law applies to believers and non-believers equally. Anyone who is supposed to be from the kind of Man, will have to be kind and gentle to his parents, and to do good to them. But the emotional connections with parents should not outshine and surpass the Spiritual Connection of Man with his Gracious Creator:-

      ``....And if they tried to make you ascribe with Me what you have no knowledge of it, then do not obey them, that your return is to Me.''

      Although the respect of father and mother is a great commandment of God, and has been strictly enjoined in the Qurän, an instance of which is in S-17:23:-

      ``And your Lord Has decreed that you worship no one except him, and do good to parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age with you, do not say to them, ``FIE'' (express not any disgust) and do not shout upon them, and say to them honourable words; and lower to them your wing of humility out of Mercy, and say:-

      ``My Lord! Have Mercy on them as they nurtured me when I was a child.''

      In spite of all that, in the matter of faith and worship, the accounts are different; and even the parents have no right to force their children. They should not urge and encourage their children to associate any kind of PARTNER to the true God.
