Major Commandments (17:22 – 17:28)

Major Commandments

17:22 You shall not set up any other god beside GOD, lest you end up despised and disgraced.

17:23 Your Lord has decreed that you shall not worship except Him, and your parents shall be honored. As long as one or both of them live, you shall never say to them, “Uff”  (the slightest gesture of annoyance), nor shall you shout at them; you shall treat them amicably.

17:24 And lower for them the wings of humility, and kindness, and say, “My Lord, have mercy on them, for they have raised me from infancy.”

17:25 Your Lord is fully aware of your innermost thoughts. If you maintain righteousness, He is Forgiver of those who repent.
