For your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. 
And honour your parents. 
If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully.
And be humble with them out of mercy, and pray, 
“My Lord! Be merciful to them as they raised me when I was young.”

۞ وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ 
أَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوۤا۟ إِلَّاۤ إِیَّاهُ 
وَبِٱلۡوَ ٰلِدَیۡنِ إِحۡسَـٰنًاۚ 
إِمَّا یَبۡلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ ٱلۡكِبَرَ 
أَحَدُهُمَاۤ أَوۡ كِلَاهُمَا 
فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَاۤ أُفࣲّ 
وَلَا تَنۡهَرۡهُمَا 
وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوۡلࣰا كَرِیمࣰا 
وَٱخۡفِضۡ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ 
ٱلذُّلِّ مِنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَةِ وَقُل 
رَّبِّ ٱرۡحَمۡهُمَا كَمَا
 رَبَّیَانِی صَغِیرࣰا
The word Isra’ refers to the “night journey” of the prophet Muhammad.
This surah is part of a series al-Musabbihat surahs because it begins with the glorification of God.
اور تمہارے پروردگار نے 
ارشاد فرمایا ہے کہ 
اس کے سوا کسی کی عبادت نہ کرو اور 
ماں باپ کے ساتھ بھلائی کرتے رہو۔ 
اگر ان میں سے ایک یا دونوں تمہارے سامنے بڑھاپے کو پہنچ جائیں تو 
اُن کو اُف تک نہ کہنا 
اور نہ انہیں جھڑکنا 
اوراُن سے بات ادب کے ساتھ کرنا 
اور نرمی و رحم کے ساتھ 
ان کے سامنے جھک کر رہو

اور ان کے حق میں دعا کرو کہ
 
اے پروردگار
جیسا انہوں نے مجھے بچپن میں (شفقت سے) پالا ہے
 
تو بھی اُن (کے حال) پر رحمت فرما
This surah takes its name from the first verse which, in Islamic tradition, tells the event of the Isra,
the transportation of Muhammad during the night from the Great Mosque of Mecca to what is referred to as “the farthest Mosque”.”
The exact location is specified in the Qurran in Arabic words أَسۡرَىٰ بِعَبۡدِهِۦ لَيۡلٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡحَرَامِ إِلَى ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ ٱلۡأَقۡصَا but this is commonly taken to Noble Sanctuary (Temple Mount) in Jerusalem. Some scholars disagree about this (see Isra and Mi’raj) lively .
While the city of Jerusalem (or al Quds , Al-Aqsa mosque) is mentioned by name anywhere in the Qur’an,[citation needed]
The first verse refers to Mohammed being taken from the ‘Masjid ul-harram’ to the ‘Masjid al-Aqsa’:
Glory to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We (God) did bless,-
so that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things).
