2204 The spiritual and moral duties are now brought into juxtaposition. We are to worship none but Allah, because none but Allah is worthy of worship, not because "the Lord thy God is a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me". (Exod.
20:5). Note that the act of worship may be collective as well as individual; hence the plural ta'budu. The kindness to parents is an individual act of piety; hence the singular taqul, qul, etc.
