and spread over them humbly the wings of thy tenderness, and say: "O my Sustainer! Bestow Thy grace upon them, even as they cherished and reared me when I was a child!"
17:24
This ayah related to how an individual should act to his/her parents.
"khofda al-janah" - a flying bird lowers its wings to descend.
When does a bird lower its wings? when it is about to land, when it is on the ground, right? . Vice versa, bird raises its wings when it want to be up above. Allah wants us to act just like the birds towards our parents. Lower ourselves. Be on the ground even at that time maybe we can fly up high in the sky. Allah added on the verse the word "al-zull" means powerless. We're not only lowering ourselves but also acting to be powerless, even we have the power to just ignore them or do whatever nasty things to them(na'uzubiLlah). Then Allah added more with "min ar-rahmah". If we want Allah to have mercy on us, we must first have mercy to our parents.
Why does Allah use bird in this ayah? Have we ever seen how a bird protects its nest? spreading over its wing to protect its family? But in this ayah Allah wants the children to protect their parents. not the parents like what the bird did. Why? Look at the last portion of the ayah - "kama rabbayani saghira". How our parents being so merciful towards us when we always cry, being grumpy, throwing tantrum, or even peed on them; thats how we should be ready and able to devote for them. Reverse oh.
Tgk just one ayah boleh bagi makna yang sangat significant. This is only what i'd wrote in my notes and what i can recalled. Banyak lagik syeikh tu elaborate siap dengan rambling2 about parenting lagik haa. Kesimpulan, every word in Quran is purrr-fect! hik.
Note that when a baby was born, he/she will always look up. and what happen when we get older? our back bent downward. looking to the ground. to the place we will finally go. Ighfirly ya Allah!

الذل could also means humble. and yep, humble always comes with mercy and love. الذل من الرحمة.
well, people always said, be humble to them, even when they're no longer alive. yet, it was true. but how? ever heard about the story of Ibn Umar r.a.
one day, as Ibn Umar r.a. walked down a street, he saw a very poor old man, looks strained from tiredness. he was a Jew. Ibn Umar r.a. then covered him with his blanket, and gave his camel mount to the poor old man, while Ibn Umar r.a. himself rather walked on his own feet.
sahabah asked him, "Who's that old man?". Ibn Umar r.a. then said, "He's a friend of Al-Khattab (his father - Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab r.a.), during jahiliyyah."
then, again the question. how?
yes, by being kind and respectful to their friends and family.
