وَوَصَّيْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ اِحْسَاناًۜ حَمَلَتْهُ اُمُّهُ كُرْهاً وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهاًۜ وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ ثَلٰثُونَ شَهْراًۜ حَتّٰٓى اِذَا بَلَغَ اَشُدَّهُ وَبَلَغَ اَرْبَع۪ينَ سَنَةًۙ قَالَ رَبِّ اَوْزِعْن۪ٓي اَنْ اَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّت۪ٓي اَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلٰى وَالِدَيَّ وَاَنْ اَعْمَلَ صَالِحاً تَرْضٰيهُ وَاَصْلِحْ ل۪ي ف۪ي ذُرِّيَّت۪يۚ اِنّ۪ي تُبْتُ اِلَيْكَ وَاِنّ۪ي مِنَ الْمُسْلِم۪ينَ

And We enjoined upon man: towards his parents, good conduct. His mother bore him with aversion, and brought him forth with aversion; and the bearing of him and the weaning of him is thirty months. When he has reached maturity, and reaches forty years, he says: “My Lord: direct Thou me to be grateful for Thy favour with which Thou hast favoured me and my parents, and to work righteousness pleasing to Thee; and make Thou me right in my progeny. I have turned to Thee repentant. And I am of those submitting.”

اَلَمْ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْاَرْضِۜ مَا يَكُونُ مِنْ نَجْوٰى ثَلٰثَةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ رَابِعُهُمْ وَلَا خَمْسَةٍ اِلَّا هُوَ سَادِسُهُمْ وَلَٓا اَدْنٰى مِنْ ذٰلِكَ وَلَٓا اَكْثَرَ اِلَّا هُوَ مَعَهُمْ اَيْنَ مَا كَانُواۚ ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِمَا عَمِلُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَل۪يمٌ

Alam tara anna Allaha yaAAlamu mafee assamawati wama fee al-ardima yakoonu min najwa thalathatin illahuwa rabiAAuhum wala khamsatin illa huwa sadisuhumwala adna min thalika wala aktharailla huwa maAAahum ayna ma kanoo thummayunabbi-ohum bima AAamiloo yawma alqiyamati innaAllaha bikulli shay-in AAaleem

Dost thou not see that God knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth? There is no private conversation of three save He is their fourth, nor of five save He is their sixth — nor of less than that, nor of greater, save He is with them wherever they may be; then will He inform them of what they did on the Day of Resurrection. God knows all things.
