What are the ten Prophetic commandments that include kindness to parents?
Whoever wishes to look at the scroll bearing Muhammad's seal should read the three verses from Surat Al-An'am (6:151-153): "Say, 'Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. That you not associate anything with Him, and to parents, good treatment; and do not kill your children for fear of poverty. We provide for you and for them. And do not approach immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed. And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right. This has He instructed you that you may use reason.' And do not approach the orphan's property except in a way that is best until he reaches maturity. And give full measure and weight in justice. We do not burden a soul except with that which it can bear. And when you speak, be just, even if it is [against] a relative. And fulfill the covenant of Allah. This has He instructed you that you may remember.' And [He commands], 'This is My straight path, so follow it and do not follow [other] ways, for they will disperse you from His way. This has He instructed you that you may become righteous.'" These commandments have become known as the Ten Commandments, and they are clear, un-abrogated verses.
