The Command to Worship Allah Alone and to be Dutiful to One's Parents
Allah commands us to worship Him alone, with no partner or associate. The word Qada normally having the meaning of decree here means "commanded". Mujahid said that
And He has Qada
means enjoined.
The idea of worshipping Allah is connected to the idea of honoring one's parents.
Allah swt says
And that you be dutiful to your parents.
Here He commands good treatment of parents. Allah also says elsewhere
give thanks to Me and to your parents. Unto Me is the final destination
If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect,
Which means, do not let them hear anything offensive from you, not even say "Uff!" which is the mildest word of disrespect
and do not reprimand them
`Ata' bin Rabah said that it meant, "Do not raise your hand against them." When Allah forbids speaking and behaving in an obnoxious manner, He commands speaking and behaving in a good manner
So Allah says
but address them in terms of honor
meaning gently, kindly, politely, and with respect and appreciation
And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy,
be humble towards them in your actions.
and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was young."
Ibn `Abbas said, say this when they grow old and when they die
with this exception
(It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allah's forgiveness for the idolators. ..
Examples from Hadiths
There are many Hadiths which speak about honoring one's parents, such as the Hadith narrated through a number of chains of narration from Anas and others, which states that the Prophet climbed up on the Minbar, and then said, ((Amin, Amin, Amin.)) It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, why did you say Amin" He said:
Jibril came to me and said, "O Muhammad, he is doomed who hears you mentioned and does not say Salla upon you." He said, "Say Amin," so I said Amin. Then he said, "He is doomed who sees the month of Ramadan come and go, and he has not been forgiven." He said, "Say Amin," so I said Amin. Then he said, "He is doomed who grows up and both his parents or one of them are still alive, and they do not cause him to enter Paradise." He said, "Say Amin," so I said Amin
Imam Ahmad reported from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet said:
He is doomed, he is doomed, he is doomed, the man whose parents, one or both of them, reach old age while he is alive and he does not enter Paradise.
Imam Ahmad recorded Mu`awiyah bin Jahimah As-Salami saying that Jahimah came to the Prophet and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I want to go out to fight and I have come to seek your advice." He said,1~Imam Ahmad recorded Mu`awiyah bin Jahimah As-Salami saying that Jahimah came to the Prophet and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I want to go out to fight and I have come to seek your advice." He said,
Do you have a mother
Jahimah said "Yes" The Prophet said
Then stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet
Imam Ahmad recorded that Al-Miqdam bin Ma`dikarib said that the Prophet said:
Allah enjoins you concerning your fathers, Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers, Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers, Allah enjoins you concerning your mothers, Allah enjoins you concerning your close relatives then the next in closeness.
Ahmad recorded that a man from Banu Yarbu` said: "I came to the Prophet while he was talking to the people, and I heard him saying,
The hand of the one who gives is superior. (Give to) your mother and your father, your sister and your brother, then the closest and next closest
