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.
