وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَهْنًا عَلَى وَهْنٍ وَفِصَالُهُ فِي عَامَيْنِ أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيْكَ إِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُ
We have enjoined man concerning his parents: His mother carried him through weakness upon weakness, and his weaning takes two years. Give thanks to Me and to your parents. To Me is the return.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 31:14
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 31:14] The obedience to parents is compulsory on every one except in case it goes against Allah. Refer to the commentary of Baqarah: 83 and 215; Bani Israil: 23 and Ankabut: 8. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: The assertion of last clause in verse 14 is that thanking Allah is more important than thanking parents, although both are necessary. In verse 15 we are commanded not to follow those parents who do not follow the right path. Instead, one should follow the path of those who constantly seek nearness to Allah. Refer to the commentary of Ankabut: 8.
