(உம்மிடம் பொருளில்லாமல் அதற்காக) நீர் உம்முடைய இறைவனின் அருளை ஆதரவு வைத்து (அதை) எதிர்ப்பார்த்திருக்கும் சமயத்தில் (உம்மிடம் எவரேனும் எதுவும் கேட்டு,) அவர்களை நீர் புறக்கணிக்கும்படி நேரிட்டால், (அப்போது) அவர்களிடம் கனிவான, அன்பான சொல்லையே சொல்வீராக!

තවද නුඹගේ පරමාධිපතිගෙන් නුඹ බලාපොරොත්තු වන දයාලුභාවය අපේක්ෂාවෙන් සිටියදී (කෙනෙක් ඔබෙන් යමක් ඉල්ලා ඔබට එය දීමට නොහැකිව) ඔවුන්ව ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කිරීමට සිදු වන්නේ නම් එවිට නුඹ ඔවුනට මෘදු වදනින් අමතනු.

Tafsir of 17:28

The Command to maintain the Ties of Kinship and the Prohibition of Extravagance When Allah mentions honoring one's parents, He follows this with the command to treat one's relatives well and to maintain the ties of kinship.

When Allah commands spending, He forbids extravagance. Spending should be moderate, as stated in another Ayah: وَالَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَنفَقُواْ لَمْ يُسْرِفُواْ وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُواْ (And those who, when they spend, are neither extravagant nor stingy). 25:67 Then He says, to discourage extravagance: إِنَّ الْمُبَذرِينَ كَانُواْ إِخْوَنَ الشَّيَطِينِ (Verily, the spendthrifts are brothers of the Shayatin,) They have this trait in common.…
