Aya 15
15
وَوَصَّينَا الإِنسانَ بِوالِدَيهِ إِحسانًا ۖ حَمَلَتهُ أُمُّهُ كُرهًا وَوَضَعَتهُ كُرهًا ۖ وَحَملُهُ وَفِصالُهُ ثَلاثونَ شَهرًا ۚ حَتّىٰ إِذا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَبَلَغَ أَربَعينَ سَنَةً قالَ رَبِّ أَوزِعني أَن أَشكُرَ نِعمَتَكَ الَّتي أَنعَمتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلىٰ والِدَيَّ وَأَن أَعمَلَ صالِحًا تَرضاهُ وَأَصلِح لي في ذُرِّيَّتي ۖ إِنّي تُبتُ إِلَيكَ وَإِنّي مِنَ المُسلِمينَ

Bijan Moeinian

God hereby orders man to treat his parents with kindness. Especially the mother who went through lots of hardship in carrying the unborn baby inside her, then suffered a lot while giving birth and gave milk to the baby for some thirty months. When the child grows up and becomes mature, at the age of forty, he should say: “O Lord, direct me to appreciate the blessings that you have showered me and my parent with and enable me to engage in God pleasing deeds. May you let my children to grow up righteous too. I turn to you and I submit myself to your will.”
