Read in Context

Chapter 17, Page 285, Juz 15

23. Your Lord has commanded that you should worship none but Him, and that you be kind to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, say no word that shows impatience with them, and do not be harsh with them, but speak to them respectfully 24. and lower your wing in humility towards them in kindness and say, ‘Lord, have mercy on them, just as they cared for me when I was little.’ 25. Your Lord knows best what is in your heart. If you are good, He is most forgiving to those who return to Him. 26. Give relatives their due, and the needy, and travellers- do not squander your wealth wastefully: 27. those who squander are the brothers of Satan, and Satan is most ungrateful to his Lord- 28. but if, while seeking some bounty that you expect from your Lord, you turn them down, then at least speak some word of comfort to them. 29. Do not be tight-fisted, nor so open-handed that you end up blamed and overwhelmed with regret. 30. Your Lord gives abundantly to whoever He will, and sparingly to whoever He will: He knows and observes His servants thoroughly.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
