Paradise Is At the Feet of Mothers



A man once consulted the Prophet Muhammad about taking part in a military campaign.


The Prophet asked the man if his mother was still living. When told that she was alive, the Prophet said: "(Then) stay with her, for Paradise is at her feet." (Al-Tirmidhi)

On another occasion, the Prophet said: "God has forbidden for you to be undutiful to your mothers." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)



A man once asked the Prophet to whom he should show the most kindness. The Prophet replied: "Your mother, next your mother, next your mother, and then your father."

(Sunan of Abu-Dawood)

A Midwestern Muslim
Hesham A. Hassaballa




After God, mothers are the most important force in all of our lives.





There was a time in my life when I thought Mother's Day to be a holiday of the "infidels," not worthy of celebration by a Muslim. Time and wisdom have taught me otherwise.



Mother's Day is an American cultural practice that is wholly consistent with Islam's principles.



The Qur'an places kindness to the parents on par with proper worship of God: "Worship and serve God, do not associate any partners with Him, and do good to your parents..."(4:36).


The textual juxtaposition of worshipping God and honoring the parents is not coincidental. Maltreatment of parents is one of the most deadly sins in all of Islam.

Furthermore, God implores believers to extend the hand of mercy to their parents:

"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'" (17:23-24).

Paradise At Her Feet
By AElfwine Mischler




Today in the Muslim world, even where many of the precepts of Islam are ignored, Westerners are often amazed at the gentle, loving treatment that parents receive.


An Arab proverb says if you want to know how a man will treat his wife, look how he treats his mother.


...All this respect and honor goes to the mother, even if she is a non-Muslim, and also to maternal aunts. Thus the woman does not cut from her own family when she marries, but her children continue to honor the kin relationships of both their mother and father

lyrics



Blessed is your face
Blessed is your name
My beloved


Blessed is your smile

Which makes my soul want to fly


My beloved
All the nights
And all the times
That you cared for me


But i never realised it

And now it’s too late
Forgive me
Now i’m alone filled with so much shame
For all the years i caused you pain
If only i could sleep in your arms again

Mother i’m lost without you
You were the sun that brightened my day


Now who’s going to wipe my tears away
If only i knew what i know today
Mother i’m lost without you



Ummahu, ummahu, ya ummi
Wa shawqahu ila luqyaki ya ummi

Ummuka, ummuka, ummuka ummuka
Qawlu rasulika
Fi qalbi, fi hulumi
Anti ma’i ya ummi

Mother... mother... o my mother
How i long to see o mother
“your mother, your mother, your mother”



Is the saying of your prophet
In my heart, in my dreams
You are always with me mother
Ruhti wa taraktini
Ya nura ‘aynayya


Ya unsa layli
Ruhti wa taraktini
Man siwaki yahdhununi

Man siwaki yasturuni
Man siwaki yahrusuni
‘afwaki ummi
Samihini...
You went and left me
O light of my eyes


O comfort of my nights
You went and left me

Who, other than you, will embrace me?
Who, other than you, will cover me?


Who, other than you, will guard over me?
Your pardon mother, forgive me

^ aww i luv that song mashallah its soo beautiful
