Question:
Another questioner: Shaykh Salih, he says: Why did Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, couple the right of parents with His right,[Al-Isra 17:23]?
Answer:
Yes, in this verse Allah mentioned the rights of kinship and encouraged caring for them, and yes.[Al-Isra 17:23] Accepted. “Your Lord” means He commanded and advised, He commanded and advised that you not worship except Him. This is the first right, the right of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. The second right is [Al-Isra 17:23], meaning be good to them. Honor them and serve them [Al-Isra 17:24]. Yes.
