Reflections on Surah Al-Ahqaf Ayah 15

46:15
ووصينا الانسان بوالديه احسانا حملته امه كرها ووضعته كرها وحمله وفصاله ثلاثون شهرا حتى اذا بلغ اشده وبلغ اربعين سنة قال رب اوزعني ان اشكر نعمتك التي انعمت علي وعلى والدي وان اعمل صالحا ترضاه واصلح لي في ذريتي اني تبت اليك واني من المسلمين ١٥
وَوَصَّيْنَا ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ بِوَٰلِدَيْهِ إِحْسَـٰنًا ۖ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُۥ كُرْهًۭا وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهًۭا ۖ وَحَمْلُهُۥ وَفِصَـٰلُهُۥ ثَلَـٰثُونَ شَهْرًا ۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُۥ وَبَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةًۭ قَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىٓ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَـٰلِحًۭا تَرْضَىٰهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِى فِى ذُرِّيَّتِىٓ ۖ إِنِّى تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّى مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ ١٥

We have commanded people to honour their parents. Their mothers bore them in hardship and delivered them in hardship. Their ˹period of˺ bearing and weaning is thirty months. In time, when the child reaches their prime at the age of forty, they pray, “My Lord! Inspire me to ˹always˺ be thankful for Your favours which You blessed me and my parents with, and to do good deeds that please You. And instil righteousness in my offspring. I truly repent to You, and I truly submit ˹to Your Will˺.”

This is another story of 'the Quran spoke to me.'

On Embracing Mid-Life, Gratitude, Family and Fulfilling Our Purpose

Each phase of life has its unique peaks and valleys. At this phase of life, when one is at middle age, they may be straddling the reality of aging parents, raising children who are growing into teens and young adults, while also feeling the effect of age on their own body and health, and starting to perhaps experience loss of loved ones more often as they age. It may feel diffic...

This ayah is about the parents struggle. And to honour them. Allah (subhan wa’ ta’ala) says to be grateful for them. This is important. Our parents struggle a lot! (Really.) And they’re very precious. Be careful! Do not hurt them, it is a very big sin. Insulting your parents also is. It can also avoid you going to Jennah.

Some individuals will receive Allah’s complete forgiveness. To illustrate this, consider a manager conducting yearly performance reviews. For some employees, the manager thoroughly evaluates every detail of their work—both good and bad—and assigns bonuses/salary increase accordingly. For others, however, he focuses solely on their best achievements, overlooking their shortcomings. Would this manager be considered biased?

In a similar way, Allah...
