(17:22) Do not make [as equal] with Allah another deity and [thereby] become censured and forsaken. (17:23) 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. (17:24) 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." (17:25) 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. (17:26) And give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully. (17:27) Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful. (17:28) And if you [must] turn away from the needy awaiting mercy from your Lord which you expect, then speak to them a gentle word.
