وَوَصَّيْنَا
الْإِنسَانَ
بِوَالِدَيْهِ
حُسْنًا
وَإِن
جَاهَدَاكَ

بِي
مَا
لَيْسَ
لَكَ
بِهِ
عِلْمٌ
فَلَا
تُطِعْهُمَا
إِلَيَّ
مَرْجِعُكُمْ
فَأُنَبِّئُكُم
بِمَا
كُنتُمْ
تَعْمَلُونَ

We have enjoined man to be good to his parents. But if they urge you to ascribe to Me as partner that of which you have no knowledge, then do not obey them. To Me will be your return, whereat I will inform you concerning what you used to do.
— Ali Quli Qarai
We have enjoined on man kindness to parents: but if they (either of them) strive (to force) thee to join with Me (in worship) anything of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not. Ye have (all) to return to me, and I will tell you (the truth) of all that ye did.
