8. And I enjoined upon humankind that they be righteous and good with their parents. O man, if your parents force you to associate with Me that whose association you have no knowledge of - as occurred with Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas from his mother - do not obey them in that, because there is no obedience to the creation in disobedience to the Creator. To Me alone is your return on the Day of Judgment, then I shall inform you of what you used to do in the world and I shall reward you for it.— الترجمة الإنجليزية للمختصر في تفسير القرآن الكريم
Among people, there are those who say: ‘We believe in God’, yet when any of them is made to suffer in God’s cause, he thinks that oppression by man is as grievous as God’s punishment. However, should help from your Lord be forthcoming, he is sure to say: ‘We have always been with you!’ Is not God fully aware of what is in the hearts of all creatures?— ترجمة معاني القرآن الكريم - عادل صلاحي
