Have you asked your mum why she likes going to church instead of praying at home or at mosque?
I remember when a group of Muslims from the local mosque visited our church last year, they commented on how they perceived it to be a holy and sacred place. Now they didn't agree with the Christian faith or some of our Christian practices - but they felt God's holiness being present there.

Hm..
First! Just because what she prayed for came true does not mean her prayer was answered. I could pray to a rock, and whatever I prayed for may occur by happenstance. Or Satan could answer my prayer in order to cause me to pray to that rock. Correlation does not equal causation!
Second, why not show her her error. Grab a Qur'an, grab a Bible and go over some verses. Just a gentle reminder to do it in a charitable way. When someone is sitting on the edge of a knife, we must act very carefully. = )
www.sultan.org <--Really good site, just scroll down to the "Islam and Christianity" section.
http://www.islam-guide.com/ch3-10-1.htm This is one of the links from that site, and it does a very good job of using the Bible to prove Christ's Muslim nature.
http://www.sultan.org/articles/pjncd.html very good site
http://wings.buffalo.edu/sa/muslim/library/jesus-say/contents.html Good site, but it is harder to dig out the really good material.

Good luck my friend!

Greetings and peace be with you AlexIslam;
If only everyone believed the same as me, then life would be much better, we struggle with our differences but she is your mother, and you only have the one mother, she is very special. Pray for yourself and pray for your mother, and the same God who hears your mothers prayers, will hear your prayers.
In the spirit of praying for a greater interfaith understanding and friendship

salaam,
prophet isa (as) I am not certain whether he is still alive right now, or is in another world (barzakh). if it happens that prophet isa (as) is in barzakh, so he is incapable to pray to Allah for anyone or for himself. was your mother previously a christian or what? we do not have to go to church in order for our prayers to be answered by Allah.
we should also aware that Allah too had set up few tests for us that we could bear. whether we live in prosperity or in difficulties, they're all the tests which came from Allah as the world is the place of test for all the slaves of Allah. may Allah guides all of us, ameen.

Ask your mother if Jesus (Pbuh) prayed to God for help? She will tell you he did. Then ask her why she thinks if he prayed to God to help him if he could help himself? Remind her Isa (as) relied upon Allah and had no power of his own.
Mathew 27:42:
About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “aEli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
Psalm:22:1:
'My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?'
John 12:27
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour
Christians think that Jesus died to save them. So they revere him and associate him with Allah and so believe Jesus can help them. Na udhu billah!!!!!! Your mother is swaying towards the same false beliefs. You must pull her back. Ask her if the above pleas sound like they come from the mouth of a willing participant for crucifixion? He asked God for help. Ask your mother what makes her think he could help her when he couldn't help himself? The Christian depiction of this event forms a picture in my mind of Jesus saying. 'Ahh wth, I'll sacrifice myself for the scum of this earth, but heyyy..
ffended: why aren't you helping me God?' Astaghfirullah! Does that make sense? Does this behaviour befit a prophet? To do something willingly from love and be protesting about it at the same time? Dua is a form of worship. Ibn Taimiyyah defined worship as, "A term which comprises everything that Allah (s.w.t) loves and approves of from the apparent and hidden sayings and deeds."
“Du’a is the essence of worship”
[Sunan Tirmidhi]
And in a Qur’anic verse Allah states:
فَادْعُوا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ
“So call upon Allah making your worship pure for Him”
[Surah Ghaafir – 40:14]
It is apparent from just these two Ahadeeth that the status of supplication (Du’a) in Islam is exalted. It is an act which Allah loves and is the dearest act in his sight:
ليس شيء أكرم على الله تعالى من الدعاء
“There is nothing dearer to Allah Ta’ala than Du’a”
[Sunan Tirmidhi]
So by praying to Jesus your mother is worshipping him. Na udhu billah. May Allah guide her. Ameen. Ibn Abbas said, "the best forms of worship is the du'a" [Munthir and Ibn Haakim] He goes onto say, "Know that it is an obligation to invoke Allah Alone in Du`a, and not His creation... Admitting (and showing) humility and meekness can only be revealed to Allah, Alone, for this is the essence of worship."
Allah says of those who have passed over, "If you call upon them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they were to hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them" [35: 14]
Please show your mother this ayah: "And when My slaves ask you concerning Me, then (say) I am indeed near. I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me. So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright." [2: 186].
This ayah alone is more than enough to tell us that we do not need intermediaries to ask Allah for help. When the time of death arrives for people who prayed to another besides Allah for helped
will be asked by angels where are they who they used to pray to. SubhanAllah! They will reply that they have deserted them.
And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie or denies His verses? Those will attain their portion of the decree until when Our messengers come to them to take them in death, they will say, "Where are those you used to invoke besides Allah ?" They will say, "They have departed from us," and will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers. [Al-Araf 7:37]
SubhanAllah! Please follow bro Hamza's advice and take your mother to a scholar immediately.
Please play al Baqarah with translation in your home every three days and make sure your mother is reciting the daily protective duaas and ayatul Kursi after every fardh salah. May Allah guide your mother and protect her (and us) from the shaytaan and false beliefs. Ameen.
