The Quran and Hadith on mothers

The Quran and Hadith on mothers

In this article we will enlighten the importance of mother in Hadith and Quran.

The Quran

1. "We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents; in pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth" (46:15).

2. "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 honor. 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' "(17:23-24).

3. "We have enjoined on man and woman kindness to parents; but if they (either of them) strive (to force) thee to join with Me anything of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not'" (29:8).

4. "We have enjoined on man and woman (to be good) to his/her parents; show gratitude to Me and to thy parents; to Me is (thy final) Goal. If they (parents) 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)" (31:14-15).

The Hadith

1. The Prophet Muhammad said, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him: Your Heaven lies under the feet of your mother (Ahmad, Nasai).

2. A man came to the Prophet and said, ‘O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet said: Your mother. The man said, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man further asked, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man asked again, ‘Then who?' The Prophet said: Then your father. (Bukhari, Muslim).

3. Abu Usaid Saidi said: We were once sitting with Rasulullah when a man from the tribe of Salmah came and said to him: O Messenger of Allah! do my parents have rights over me even after they have died? And Rasulullah said: Yes. You must pray to Allah to bless them with His Forgiveness and Mercy, fulfill the promises they made to anyone, and respect their relations and their friends (Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah).

4. Abdullah ibn Amr related that the Messenger of Allah said: The major sins are to believe that Allah has partners, to disobey one's parents, to commit murder, and to bear false witness (Bukhari, Muslim).

5. It is narrated by Asma bint Abu Bakr that during the treaty of Hudaibiyah, her mother, who was then pagan, came to see her from Makkah. Asma informed the Messenger of Allah of her arrival and also that she needed help. He said: Be good to your mother (Bukhari, Muslim).

The one thing is common and that is you all are talking about your aged or aging mothers. Remember one thing. We did unbearable things to them when we were obstinate, irritative, rude and misbahaving kids and they still loved us beyond any limits. why? Because children are not sensible, mature and commit certain horrible things unknowingly. Same is the case with the parents in their oldage. They are like children, without much sense and responsibility. So, please try to understand.

Allah will reward you and He knows each and everything

Thanks

My boyfriend and I have been together 5 years, I am catholic faith and he is Muslim. We have gotten along amazing until his mom came in the relationship the 5tb year. I found out she tortures her son mentally and verbally abusing him with hurtful threats. She manipulates the son every way possible such threats to leave him and she can live in the street. I did nothing but love him . He wants to marry me. She refuse at all cost to explain why she hates me. To the point she choose to  toruture him daily with threats and telling him “ He is not good enough for me that I deserve better than him .

is this behavior welcome?

It is a very com.on act fir most moms to act  and always try to make their sons feel so shame and motivation level high and just an half hour visit or chat they can brain wash the son like ceazy,they will make the son feel so bad about him ignoring his mom,I raised you,in our culture you gave made the biggest mistake,I was the one brought you to this world and  now you want to marry a none Muslim girl.we all have to kill ourselves we must leave this city.and now this is what I get in return,if I don't see you no more I may have a heart attack may Allah bless you and crying showing off and playing game.  So this is what we all dealing with.so I should say welcome to afghan culture or just say good ye didn't work who is next? That's my  way of explaining a typically  afghany mom.

It's not Haram for a Muslim man to marry a Jewish lady or a Christian lady.

It's Haram for a Muslim man to date.
