Sura Al-Ahqaf from 15 to 20


15. And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents. His mother bears him with hardship. And she brings him forth with hardship, and the bearing of him, and the weaning of him is thirty months, till when he attains full strength and reaches forty years, he says: « My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favour which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You, and make my offspring good. Truly, I have turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims ( submitting to Your Will ) . »
16. They are those from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and overlook their evil deeds. ( They shall be ) among the dwellers of Paradise - a promise of truth, which they have been promised.
17. But he who says to his parents: « Fie upon you both! Do you hold out the promise to me that I shall be raised up ( again ) when generations before me have passed away ( without rising ) ? » While they ( father and mother ) invoke Allâh for help ( and rebuke their son ) : « Woe to you! Believe! Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true. » But he says: « This is nothing but the tales of the ancient. »
18. They are those against whom the Word ( of torment ) is justified among the previous generations of jinn and mankind that have passed away. Verily, they are ever the losers.
19. And for all, there will be degrees according to that which they did, that He ( Allâh ) may recompense them in full for their deeds. And they will not be wronged.
20. On the Day when those who disbelieve ( in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism ) will be exposed to the Fire ( it will be said ) : « You received your good things in the life of the world, and you took your pleasure therein. Now this Day you shall be recompensed with a torment of humiliation, because you were arrogant in the land without a right, and because you used to rebel against Allâh’s Command ( disobey Allâh ) .»
