The Children of Israel - Chapter 17, Verses 23-24, Holy Koran

And your Lord has commanded that You should not worship but Him And treat your parents well with high esteem If one or both of them Reach old age with you Don’t even say to them “Oof!” in annoyance And don’t call them names And politely speak to them. And be gentle to them And be kind to them And say, O my Lord! Please be kind to them Since they brought me up And a kid I was then.
