ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍۢ ۚ وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ أَكْبَرُ دَرَجَٰتٍۢ وَأَكْبَرُ تَفْضِيلًۭا

۞ وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ وَبِٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَٰنًا ۚ إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَآ أُفٍّۢ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًۭا كَرِيمًۭا

And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff," and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.

﴿وَقَضَىٰ﴾: حَكَمَ وأَمَرَ.

﴿أُفࣲّ﴾: كلمةٌ تَدُلُّ على التضجُّرِ والاستثقالِ.

﴿وَلَا تَنۡهَرۡهُمَا﴾: لا يَصْدُرْ منك إليهما قولٌ قبيحٌ.

﴿كَرِيمࣰا﴾: طَيِّبًا حَسَنًا مَقْرونًا بالاحترامِ والحياءِ.

وَٱخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ وَقُل رَّبِّ ٱرْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِى صَغِيرًۭا

And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, "My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up [when I was] small."

﴿وَٱخۡفِضۡ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ ٱلذُّلِّ﴾: وكُنْ متواضِعًا مُتَذَلِّلًا لأمِّك وأبيك.

﴿مِنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَةِ﴾: لرِقَّتِك ورحمتِك بهما.

رَّبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِى نُفُوسِكُمْ ۚ إِن تَكُونُوا۟ صَٰلِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِلْأَوَّٰبِينَ غَفُورًۭا

Your Lord is most knowing of what is within yourselves. If you should be righteous [in intention] - then indeed He is ever, to the often returning [to Him], Forgiving.

Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.
