In the name of ALLAH, the
Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate
"May the Peace and Blessings of ALLAH be upon you?"
Praise be to ALLAH, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with
ALLAH from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever ALLAH
guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever ALLAH leaves astray, no one can
guide. I bear witness that there is no god but ALLAH, and I bear witness that
Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Respected Readers and Researchers,
I would like to tell you today about the mother’s glory which is granted her
towards ALLAH (God). Do read it carefully and advertise this message to the all
human beings. To day my message heading is Mother’s glory according to Islam.
One day a man came to see the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon
him). It seemed that he was trying to solve something but couldn't quite work it
out. So he asked the Prophet. ''Tell me, O Prophet!'' I have many relatives and
many friends whom I love, and whom I wish to care for and help. But I often find
it difficult to decide which of them has the greatest claim upon me? Which of
them should come first?'' The Prophet replied immediately, ''Your mother should
come first and before all others.''
The man was very pleased to have this clear guidance from the Prophet. But of
course there were all his other relatives and his friends, so he asked ''and
after my mother, who has the greatest claim upon me?'' The Prophet's reply this
second time surprised him. ''Your mother!'' he said again.
The man wondered why the Prophet was repeating himself. Perhaps he had not
spoken clearly, the man thought, so he asked the question again, ''What I want
to know is, after my mother, who has the greatest claim upon me? Again the
Prophet said ''your mother!''
Your mother, your mother, your mother!
The Prophet had now said it three times. Slowly, the man realized why he had
done so. ''The Prophet means that my mother is extremely important, so much so
that my duty to her must be stressed over and over again. Even so, the man's
thoughts ran on, ''what about all the others I love and wish to care for?''
Still uncertain and wanting to know more, he once again turned to the Prophet
and said, ''and after my mother, who comes after her? Is there anyone besides
her?'' The Prophet then replied ''after your mother, your father.'' ''And
then?'' asked the man. ''Then people who are nearest to you,'' said the Prophet.
ALLAH's peace and blessings be upon the Prophet.

The Great Mothers (in Urdu)
Why mother is so special:
When I came home in the rain,
Brother asked why you didn’t take an umbrella.
Sister advised why you didn’t wait till rain stopped.
Father angrily warned, only after getting cold, you will realize.
But Mother, while drying my hair, said, stupid rain! Couldn't
It waits, till my child came home?
That Is MOM!
If anyone favors his wife over his mother...!
At the time of the Prophet (Peace be upon him), there was a young man named
Alqamah. He was very diligent in obeying ALLAH by engaging in prayer and fasting
and spending in charity. Then he fell ill and his illness became serious. His
wife went to the Prophet and said, "My husband, Alqamah, is on his deathbed. I
therefore came to tell you, Messenger of ALLAH, about his condition."
The Prophet (Peace be upon him) sent for Ammar, Suhaib and Bilal, and told them
to go to him (Alqamah) and have him repeat the Shahadah (Razi ALLAH Anhum). They
went to him and found him in the agony of death. They asked him to say, "La
ilaha illa ALLAH," but his tongue was unable to pronounce it. At that, they came
and told the Messenger of ALLAH that he was unable to repeat the Shahadah (Razi
ALLAH Anhum)
The Prophet asked, "Is either of his parents alive?"
He was told, "Messenger of ALLAH, his mother is, but she is very old."
The Prophet sent her a message that if it was convenient for her (if she was
able to go out), she should come to him; otherwise she should stay in her house
and the Prophet would come to her.
The Prophet's messenger came to her and informed her of the Prophet's message.
She said, "May my life be a ransom for him, it is my pleasure to go to him!"
She stood up, leaning on her walking stick, and came to the Prophet and greeted
him. The Prophet returned her greeting and said to her, "Umm Alqamah, tell me
the truth, for otherwise ALLAH Most High will reveal the truth to me! What is
the situation concerning your son, Alqamah?"
She replied, "Messenger of ALLAH, he prays much, fasts a great deal, and spends
a great amount in charity."
The Prophet said, "And what about yourself?"
She said, "Messenger of ALLAH, I am angry with him."
He said, "Why?"
She replied, "Messenger of ALLAH, he has preferred his wife to me and has
disobeyed me."
ALLAH's Messenger said, "Umm Alqamah, surely your anger has prevented Alqamah's
tongue from pronouncing the Shahadah."
He then turned to Bilal and said, "Bilal, go out and collect a quantity of
firewood."
She said, "Messenger of ALLAH, what do you plan to do?" He replied, "I will burn
him in front of your eyes."
She said, "Messenger of ALLAH, he is my son! My heart cannot bear your burning
him in front of me!"
He said, "Umm Alqamah, ALLAH's punishment is more severe and more lasting!
Therefore, if you want ALLAH to forgive him, be reconciled to him. By the One in
Whose Hand is my soul, the prayer, fasting, and spending in charity (which he
has done) are of no benefit to Alqamah as long as you are angry with him!"
Thereupon she said, "Messenger of ALLAH, I call upon ALLAH Most High and His
angels and the Muslims who are present to be my witnesses that I am pleased with
my son Alqamah."
ALLAH's Messenger said, "Bilal, go to him and see whether he is now able to say,
"La ilaha illa ALLAH" or not. It may be that Umm Alqamah is saying something for
my sake which is not in her heart."
Bilal went, and while entering the door he heard Alqamah saying, "La ilaha illa
ALLAH."
Bilal remarked, "It is surely true that while Alqamah's mother was angry with
him his tongue was tied, and now that she is pleased with him his tongue is
freed."
Alqamah died the same day. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) came to him and gave
the order for his washing and shrouding, and then prayed the funeral prayer for
him and buried him. He then stood by the side of his grave and said, "You
company of Muhajireen and Helpers, if anyone favors his wife over his mother,
ALLAH and His angels and all the people curse him! ALLAH does not accept his
spending (in charity) and his uprightness unless he repents toward ALLAH, the
Glorious and Majestic, and reconciles with her and attains her pleasure, because
ALLAH's pleasure consists in her pleasure and ALLAH's anger consists in her
anger."
We must always be respectful and obedient to our parents. However, we are not to
obey them if they order us to disobey ALLAH and His Prophet. Other than this,
they deserve our utmost attention and respect.
