Surah Al-Ahqaf Verse 15

وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ إِحْسَانًا ۖ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ كُرْهًا وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهًا ۖ وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ ثَلَاثُونَ شَهْرًا ۚ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَبَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي ۖ إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ



And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is thirty months. [He grows] until, when he reaches maturity and reaches [the age of] forty years, he says, "My Lord, enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents and to work righteousness of which You will approve and make righteous for me my offspring. Indeed, I have repented to You, and indeed, I am of the Muslims."

(…till, when he attaineth full strength and reacheth forty years…) [46:15]. 'Ata' reported that Ibn 'Abbassaid: “This verse was revealed about Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be well pleased with him. He hadtravelled with the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace - when he was eighteen years oldand the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, was twenty - to Syria for trade. When theyreached a place where there was a lotus tree, the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace,sat under the shade of this tree while Abu Bakr went to a monk nearby to ask him about religion. The monkthen asked Abu Bakr: 'Who is that man under the shade of the lotus?' Abu Bakr said: 'He is Muhammad ibn'Abd Allah ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib'. The monk said: 'By Allah, he is a Prophet. No one sat under the shade of thistree after Jesus, son of Mary, except Muhammad the Prophet of Allah'. At that moment, certainty and faithentered Abu Bakr's heart. He accompanied the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace,everywhere whether in travel or in Mecca. When The Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give himpeace, was sent as a Prophet at the age of forty, Abu Bakr who was then thirty-eight embraced Islam andbelieved in the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace. When Abu Bakr reached forty, heprayed (My Lord! Arouse me that I may give thanks for the favour wherewith Thou hast favoured me…)”.

وَوَصَّيْنَا الإِنسَـنَ بِوَلِدَيْهِ إِحْسَـناً حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ كُرْهاً وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهاً وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَـلُهُ ثَلاَثُونَ شَهْراً حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَبَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِى أَنْ أَشكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِى أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَى وَلِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَـلِحاً تَرْضَـهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِى فِى ذُرِّيَّتِى إِنَّى تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ - أُوْلَـئِكَ الَّذِينَ نَتَقَبَّلُ عَنْهُمْ أَحْسَنَ مَا عَمِلُواْ وَنَتَجَاوَزُ عَن سَيْئَـتِهِمْ فِى أَصْحَـبِ الْجَنَّةِ وَعْدَ الصِّدْقِ الَّذِى كَانُواْ يُوعَدُونَ

(15. And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents. His mother bears him with hardship. And she delivers him with hardship. And (the period of) his gestation and the weaning of him is thirty months, till when he attains full strength and reaches forty years, he says: "My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You, and make my offspring good. Truly, I have turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims.'')

(16. They are those from whom We shall accept the best of their deeds and overlook their evil deeds. (They shall be) among the dwellers of Paradise. That is a promise of truth that they had been promised.)

Allah's Advice about the Parents

After mentioning that one must confess His Oneness, worship Him with sincerity, and remain upright in obeying Him, Allah follows that by giving instructions regarding the parents. These appear together in many places of the Qur'an, such as Allah's saying,

وَقَضَى رَبُّكَ أَلاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ إِلاَّ إِيَّـهُ وَبِالْوَلِدَيْنِ إِحْسَـناً

(Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be dutiful to your parents.) (17:23) Allah says,

أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِى وَلِوَلِدَيْكَ إِلَىَّ الْمَصِيرُ

(Be grateful to Me and to your parents. Unto Me is the final destination.) (31:14) There are many other Ayat like this as well. Here Allah says,

وَوَصَّيْنَا الإِنسَـنَ بِوَلِدَيْهِ إِحْسَـناً

(And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents.) (46:15) meaning, `We have commanded him to treat them well and show compassion towards them. Abu Dawud At-Tayalisi recorded from Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him, that his mother said to him: "Hasn't Allah commanded that you obey your parents Then I will not eat any food or drink any drink until you disbelieve in Allah.'' Thus she stubbornly abstained from eating and drinking, until they had to open her mouth with a stick. Then this Ayah was revealed,

وَوَصَّيْنَا الإِنسَـنَ بِوَلِدَيْهِ إِحْسَـناً

(And We have enjoined on man to be dutiful and kind to his parents. ) This was also recorded by Muslim and the Sunan compilers, except for Ibn Majah. Allah continues,

حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ كُرْهاً

(His mother bears him with hardship.) which means that the mother suffers hardship because of her child, such as fatigue, sickness, vomiting, heaviness, distress, and other forms of hardship that the pregnant women suffer.

وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهاً

(And she delivers him with hardship.) meaning, she also delivers him with hardship, suffering the pains of labor and their severity.

وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَـلُهُ ثَلاَثُونَ شَهْراً

(And (the period of) his gestation and weaning is thirty months,) `Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, used this Ayah along with the following two Ayat to prove that the minimum period of pregnancy (gestation) is six months:

وَفِصَالُهُ فِى عَامَيْنِ

(And his weaning is in two years.) (31:14) and

وَالْوَلِدَتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلَـدَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يُتِمَّ الرَّضَاعَةَ

(The mothers suckle their children two complete years -- for those who desire to complete the term of suckling. ) (2:233) This is a strong and valid conclusion, and it was approved by `Uthman and a number of the Companions. Muhammad bin Ishaq bin Yasar narrated from Ba`jah bin `Abdullah Al-Juhani that a man from his tribe (Juhaynah) married a woman from Juhaynah. She delivered a baby after six months. So her husband went to `Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, and told him about that. Thus, `Uthman summoned her. When she was getting dressed, her sister started crying. She asked her: "Why do you cry By Allah, no one has ever approached me (for sexual relations) of Allah's creation except him (my husband). So let Allah decree (for me) as He wills.'' When she was brought before `Uthman, he commanded that she be stoned to death (for adultery). `Ali heard of this, came to `Uthman, and said: "What are you doing'' He (`Uthman) said: "She delivered after six months! Can this ever happen'' `Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "Don't you read the Qur'an'' He said: "Yes, of course!'' He (`Ali) then said: `Haven't you heard Allah's saying,

وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَـلُهُ ثَلاَثُونَ شَهْراً

(and his gestation and weaning is thirty months), and;

حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ

( two complete years) (2:233) (Subtracting the two numbers) we are only left with six months.'' `Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "By Allah, I did not see that! Bring the woman back.'' But they found that she had already been killed. Ba`jah continued: "By Allah, no two crows and no two eggs are more similar than that child turned out to be to his father! When his father saw that he said, `By Allah! This is my son without any doubt.' Later on, Allah afflicted him with a skin abscess in his face (because of his false accusation to his wife). It kept eating him up until he died.'' Ibn Abi Hatim related from his father that Farwah bin Abi Al-Maghra' told them that `Ali bin Mushir narrated to them from Dawud bin Abi Hind, who narrated from `Ikrimah that Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "When a woman delivers after nine months, the baby will only need twenty-one months of suckling. When she delivers after seven months, the baby will need twenty-three months of suckling. When she delivers after six months, the baby will need two full years of suckling, because Allah says,

وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَـلُهُ ثَلاَثُونَ شَهْراً حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ

(and his gestation and weaning is thirty months, till when he attains full strength).'' meaning, he becomes strong, youthful, and attains full ability.

وَبَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً

(and reaches forty years,) meaning, his complete intellect, understanding, and patience reach the level of maturity. It has also been said that usually one will not change his ways once he reaches the age of forty.

قَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِى

(he says: "My Lord! Grant me the power and ability) meaning, `inspire me.'

أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِى أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَى وَالِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَـلِحاً تَرْضَـهُ

(that I may be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds, such as please You,) meaning, in the future.

وَأَصْلِحْ لِى فِى ذُرِّيَّتِى

(and make my offspring good.) meaning, my offspring and descendants.

إِنَّى تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّى مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

(Truly, I have turned to You in repentance, and truly, I am one of the Muslims.) This contains an instruction for anyone who reaches forty years of age to renew his repentance and turn to Allah with strong resolution. Allah then says,

أُوْلَـئِكَ الَّذِينَ نَتَقَبَّلُ عَنْهُمْ أَحْسَنَ مَا عَمِلُواْ وَنَتَجَاوَزُ عَن سَيْئَـتِهِمْ فِى أَصْحَـبِ الْجَنَّةِ

(Those are the ones from whom We shall accept the best of what they did and overlook their evil deeds. (They shall be) among the dwellers of Paradise.) meaning, those to whom applies the above description -- those who repent to Allah, turn back to Him, and rectify their shortcomings through repentance and seeking forgiveness - those are the ones from whom We will accept the best of what they did and overlook their evil deeds. Many of their errors will be forgiven and Allah will accept from them a modest amount of deeds.

فِى أَصْحَـبِ الْجَنَّةِ

(among the dwellers of Paradise.) which means that they will be among the dwellers of Paradise. That is Allah's ruling concerning them, as He has promised for those who repent and turn to Him. Thus, He says,

وَعْدَ الصِّدْقِ الَّذِى كَانُواْ يُوعَدُونَ

(That is the promise of truth that they had been promised.)

Ini termasuk kelembutan Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala kepada hamba-hamba-Nya dan syukur-Nya kepada mereka; Dia memerintahkan manusia untuk berbuat baik kepada kedua orang tua mereka baik dengan berkata yang lembut dan halus, memberi nafkah dan perbuatan lainnya yang termasuk ihsan. Selanjutnya, Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala menyebutkan sebab yang mengharuskan demikian, yaitu karena ibunya mengandungnya dengan merasakan penderitaan saat mengandung, lalu penderitaan saat melahirkan dan penderitaan saat menyusui dan mengasuhnya, dan waktunya tidak sebentar; tidak satu jam atau dua jam; bahkan dalam waktu yang cukup lama, yaitu 30 bulan; untuk hamilnya sembilan bulan dan sisanya untuk menyusui, ini menurut rata-rata.

Ulama berdalil dengan ayat ini, bahwa masa kehamilan paling sedikit adalah enam bulan, karena masa menyusui selama dua tahun, sehingga 30 bulan dikurang 24 bulan sama dengan 6 bulan.

Yakni telah sempurna kekuatannya, akalnya, dan pandangannya, dimana paling sedikitnya adalah 30 atau 33 tahun.

Baik nikmat agama maupun nikmat dunia. Mensyukurinya adalah dengan menggunakan nikmat-nikmat itu untuk menaati pemberi nikmat, mengakuinya dan merasa dirinya kurang bersyukur serta bersungguh-sungguh dalam memuji Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala.

Nikmat yang Allah berikan kepada orang tua kita merupakan nikmat bagi kita. Di antara sekian nikmat yang Allah limpahkan kepada orang tua kita yang paling besarnya adalah nikmat beragama Islam dan mengamalkannya sehingga kita dapat mengikutinya.

Setelah ia berdoa kepada Allah untuk kebaikan dirinya, maka dia berdoa kepada Allah untuk kebaikan anak cucunya, yaitu agar Allah memperbaiki keadaan mereka, dan bahwa kesalihan mereka manfaatnya kembali juga kepada kedua orang tua mereka.

Dari dosa dan maksiat serta kembali menaati-Mu.
