 Thy Lord hath decreed, that ye worship

none save Him, and [that ye show] kindness to parents.

if one of them or both of them

attain old age with thee, say not "Fie" unto them nor repulse them, but speak Unto them a gracious word.

And lower Unto them the wing of submission through mercy, and say: my Lord! Have mercy on them both as they did care for me when I was little. kORAN, 17:23-24

For God commanded, saying, Honor thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother) let him die the death. MATT. 15:4

To my father, who lived a prosperous, intellectual life within the bounds of Muslim law and faith, and to my pious, tolerant mother, who is a hundred years old and surrounded by the love and respect of more than a hundred children and grandchildren, some of whom are already grandparents. 6
