Before I leave I got a problem, please see if you can help me with it. I hate going with my mother to the masjid because she embarasses me. When she is not yelling, shoving or being rudely inquisitive and asking people personal questions she is sits at the corner and eyeballs the people. I have never seen her reading a mushaf, sometimes I wonder if she can even read it. The mosque is a place of worship but I'm afraid my mother goes there to cause a ruckus. She forces me to go with her to the masjid every friday. For those who might say all mothers are like that, no not really it is only mine who is like that. Help!
Desertroze maybe she does. Everyone complains about her. People say we come to the masjid to worship God not to be harassed, or for people to get into our personal affairs or to be trash-talked about. Teh, with regards to your proposal she might harass you and trash talk about you.
Your mother needs to realize that 'trash talk' or backbiting in islam is a major sin. If she fears Allah swt she needs to change her habits. I found a website that answers a question about backbiting. I think she should be approached at when she is not in a 'bad mood' ,if i may say, and is willing to listen to things with an open mind. I don't know what else to say, but just be patient with her. You can find someone else to talk to her or be a good influence on her. Or try going to another masjid where she will not behave they way she does. I hope things work out for her inshaAllah.
"Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'You will not enter Paradise until you have faith, and you will not have faith until you love each other. Shall I direct you to something which if you fulfill you will love one another? Spread peace among yourselves.' (Muslim)
'There are two blessings that many people fail to make the most of: good health and free time.' (Sahîh Bukhârî)
Asallama Alaikum That's one thing you have to love about moms they crack you up.Even if they seem to embarrass you. Can't live with em,can't live without em
