surah al-isra ayat 21 - 30
See how We have favored some of them over others; yet the Hereafter is greater in ranks, and greater in favors.
Do not set up another god with Allah, lest you become condemned and damned.
Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him, and that you be good to your parents. If either of them or both of them reach old age with you, do not say to them a word of disrespect, nor scold them, but say to them kind words.
And lower to them the wing of humility, out of mercy, and say, "My Lord, have mercy on them, as they raised me when I was a child."
Your Lord knows best what is in your minds. If you are righteous—He is Forgiving to the obedient.
And give the relative his rights, and the poor, and the wayfarer, and do not squander wastefully.
The extravagant are brethren of the devils, and the devil is ever ungrateful to his Lord.
But if you turn away from them, seeking mercy from your Lord which you hope for, then say to them words of comfort.
And do not keep your hand tied to your neck, nor spread it out fully, lest you end up liable and regretful.
Your Lord expands the provision for whomever He wills, and restricts it. He is fully Informed, Observant of His servants.
