Question:
May Allah bless you and reward you. Umm Ahmad from Riyadh asks: What is the wisdom behind Allah the Exalted linking dutifulness to parents with Allah the Mighty and Majestic when He said:[Al-Isra 17:23]
Answer:
Excellence, yes. These are the rights, and the verse of rights begins with the right of Allah the Exalted and Majestic in worship and sincerity of religion to Him. The second, after the right of Allah, is the right of the parents. This affirms the right of the parents over the child and that it comes after the right of Allah, Glorified is He.[An-Nisa 4:36] Yes.

وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًاAnswer:

Worship Allah and associate nothing with Him, and to parents do good
وَاعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا
