والبنين وكم صغر قاسى الأب لأجل الصغار، فلما ترقوا فعقوا والعقوق من الذنوب الكبار،
And the children, how much hardship the father endures for the sake of the young; but when they grow up, they disobey, and disobedience is among the grave sins,
وَالْعُقُوقُ — and disobedience. The 'and' opens a summarizing statement, and the 'the' makes the abstract noun a known, defined concept being judged. Set as the subject of a 'X is among Y' sentence, it lifts the specific act just mentioned into a general moral category.
