And We (Allah) have enjoined on man (to be good) to his parents: in travail upon travail did his mother bear him, and in years twain was his weaning: (hear the command), "Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: to Me is (thy final) Goal. "But if they strive to make thee join in worship with Me things of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not; yet bear them company in this life with justice (and consideration), and follow the way of those who turn to me (in love): in the end the return of you all is to Me, and I will tell you the truth (and meaning) of all that ye did." (Quran: Surah 31/ Luqman; verses 14-15).
Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour. And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood." (Quran: Surah 17/ the Night Journey; verses 23-24).
Heaven lies under mother's feet (Al-Hadith).
Looking with compassion and hospitality to the mother and father, is worship to Allah (al-Hadith).
Allah's pleasure lies in the pleasure of both parents. His wrath is also located on their (our parents) wrath (Al-Hadith).
Mother ... how beautiful and sacred word. Word that carry the fragrance of friendliness and love into the soul, and makes us feel the warmth and purity.
Western world is now discovering new value of precious mother, whereas for centuries, Muslims have believed mother’s noble position based on the teachings of the divine through Islam. Islam believes in the value of a wonderful mother, and has attracted the attention of people through a variety of expressions and statements. In fact, Islam considers that reaching the final stage of perfection, namely heaven, depending on the willingness of mother. Prophet Muhammad pbuh. (peace be upon him) said, "Heaven lies under mother's feet."
In a position to glorify the mother, Islam does not restrict it to the advice, orders and verbal suggestion. But Islam also looked at the order and prohibition from our mother as an obligation to be implemented in certain things. For example, in case of Sunnah (a certain thing that is suggested by Allah to do), but contrary to the prohibition of our mother, the children are exhorted to obey their mother's ban.
If a child wants to fast sunnah, or travels based on Sunnah, but her mother forbade it, then it is the obligation for the child to obey his mother. If the child against the will of his mother, then not only he did not get rewarded for that charity, but he actually obtain sin because his refusal to obey his mother.
Another case where the mother's command is respected comparable with the command of God is if God's command against the mother's prohibition, provided that the action was not included in the mandatory commands such as Sholat fardhu or fasting of Ramadan. A man came to the Prophet and said, "O Prophet of Allah! I was young and strong, ready to act and devoted, and eager to go to holy war for the advancement of Islam! But my mother did not let me leave to go to the holy war." Noble Prophet who said, "Go live with your mother. I swear to God who chose me as a prophet, that the reward that you get to serve her even if only overnight, and make her happy with your presence, far greater than the reward of holy war for a year."
Islam considers homage to parents and the implementation of their rights as the largest human obligations after the divine command. The Quran says in this connection, ""Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: to Me is (thy final) Goal.." (Quran: Surah 31/ Luqman; verse 14). It should be noted that Allah, shortly after calling his own right, then mention the right of both parents.
A man came to the Prophet (Prophet Muhammad pbuh.) and said, "O Prophet of Allah! Guided me, to whom I must do good to get the perfect benefit for my good deeds?" He said, "Be kind to your mother." He asked two more times, "And after her?" The Prophet replied, "To your mother." The man asked, "To anyone else who I should do well too?" The Prophet said, "To your father."
Privileges granted by Islam to a mother, is due to difficulty which has endured in developing the spiritual and physical life of her children. So that only the mothers who carry out her motherly duties well, raising and educating children to be good people, which deserves that position and privilege. While mothers who chose to have fun, riotous and abandon its obligations nurture and educate children, and let her children at the orphanage, had actually done an unforgivable injustice to her son. Therefore it is not reasonable to expect she would primacy of the rights and the position of mother.
Such mothers not only ruin the happiness of their children, but also gave a blow to the community due to their failure to educate their children. A child who does not learn from the teachings of loving mother, and whose emotions are not developed in the mother's lap, can not be expected to show affection in subsequent years. See how the great people of the world get a success mainly from the influence of the mother. Their mother has been carrying out important duties and play a successful role in fostering their children (to be continued).
