It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
25. Your Lord knows well what is in your hearts [28]. If you remain righteous, then surely He is Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him.
[28] That is, those who serve their parents or treat them well with sincere intention, Allah knows them very well, and those who serve their parents merely to avoid people's criticism, He knows them very well too. And Allah's forgiveness and mercy are for those who, being obedient to Allah, treat their parents with kindness.
