وَوَصَّيْنَا And We have enjoined ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ (on) man بِوَٰلِدَيْهِ to his parents إِحْسَـٰنًا ۖ kindness حَمَلَتْهُ Carried him أُمُّهُۥ his mother كُرْهًۭا (with) hardship وَوَضَعَتْهُ and gave birth to him كُرْهًۭا ۖ (with) hardship وَحَمْلُهُۥ And (the) bearing of him وَفِصَـٰلُهُۥ and (the) weaning of him ثَلَـٰثُونَ (is) thirty شَهْرًا ۚ month(s) حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَا when بَلَغَ he reaches أَشُدَّهُۥ his maturity وَبَلَغَ and reaches أَرْبَعِينَ forty سَنَةًۭ year(s) قَالَ he says رَبِّ My Lord أَوْزِعْنِىٓ grant me (the) power أَنْ that أَشْكُرَ I may be grateful نِعْمَتَكَ (for) Your favor ٱلَّتِىٓ which أَنْعَمْتَ You have bestowed عَلَىَّ upon me وَعَلَىٰ and upon وَٰلِدَىَّ my parents وَأَنْ and that أَعْمَلَ I do صَـٰلِحًۭا righteous (deeds) تَرْضَىٰهُ which please You وَأَصْلِحْ and make righteous لِى for me فِى among ذُرِّيَّتِىٓ ۖ my offspring إِنِّى indeed تُبْتُ I turn إِلَيْكَ to You وَإِنِّى and indeed, I am مِنَ of ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ those who submit ١٥

And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is thirty months. [He grows] until, when he reaches maturity and reaches [the age of] forty years, he says, "My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work righteousness of which You will approve and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims."

Believe! Indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth." But he says, "This is not but legends of the former peoples" -
