A wassijetili smo čovjeku prema roditeljima njegovim: dobro. Nosila ga je majka njegova prisilno i rodila ga prisilno; a nošenje njegovo i odbijanje njegovo od dojenja je trideset mjeseci; dok, kad dostigne zrelost svoju i dostigne četrdeset godina, rekne: "Gospodaru moj! Potakni me da zahvaljujem na blagodati Tvojoj koju si podario meni i roditeljima mojim, i da radim dobro s kojim si zadovoljan, i napredak meni u potomstvu mom. Uistinu, ja sam Ti se pokajao i uistinu sam ja od muslimana."
And We have enjoined on man doing of good to his parents; with trouble did his mother bear him and with trouble did she bring him forth; and the bearing of him and the weaning of him was thirty months; until when he attains his maturity and reaches forty years, he says: My Lord! grant me that I may give thanks for Thy favor which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do good which pleases Thee and do good to me in respect of my offspring; surely I turn to Thee, and surely I am of those who submit.
