We don't need mother's day or father's day or birthday or any other such "special" days. These kuffars have 1 day in year as a special day, how sad and a pathetic is that. For us Muslims, everyday is Mother's day, everyday is Father's day, and everyday is a birthday cuz your still breathing

But sis...it wouldn't really be a coincidence that you give your mother a gift and it's Mothers day. If that were to happen though, where you go out and just randomly buy her a special gift or just do something extra nice, and you didn't realize it was Mothers day, that wouldn't matter cuz you're simply doing it out of true love and not because of a day that was set aside. Wouldn't it be more special if you were to do something sweet on just a random day where she totally wouldn't expect it anyway?

 

[truemuslim]

^ I DO!
I do do that!
lyk wuts wrong wit dis day anyway???
Just coz kuffars buy them mums a gift on this day doesnt mean we arent allowed...dos it....?...hm. anyway
juss so yall kno its :
Mothers day - ANOTHER day that u give ur mum a gift and all a liil bit MORE than the other dayz...
NOT
Mothers Day- A day u go drinkin n clubbin wit loud music playin den steal cars and run away from cops...

Ok?
kool
WaSalaam

No, that's not the point at all. The point is that they single out a day, and we don't. Nor do we follow what they do on that day. Therefore, when they go out of their way to celebrate their mothers/grandmothers/wifes, etc, we don't follow suit. Mothers day is not an everyday celebration, it's on whatever Sunday of the month for them. By your logic though of what Mothers day is, I agree...

 

[truemuslim]

lol
Ok.
Listen...
Its a day....a random day on a random sunday on a random month of every year...ok? ...and ON this day...u thank ur mother EXTRAA...do u actually go everyday and buy cards and gifts for her? um...no? yes? noo.

wow...my brother said we cant debate on this topic.........................i gotta show him this!! Lol

Mother’s Day – an historical overview and the scholars’ rulings on this holiday​

​

Praise be to Allaah and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allaah.
Introduction:



The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us that his ummah would follow the previous nations, the Jews, Christians and Persians, but this was undoubtedly not praise for their actions, rather it is by way of condemnation and a warning. It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “You will certainly follow the ways of those who came before you, handspan by handspan, cubit by cubit, until even if they entered the hole of a lizard, you will do so too.” We asked, “O Messenger of Allaah, (do you mean) the Jews and the Christians?” He said, “Who else?” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3269; Muslim, 2669).



It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The Hour will not begin until my ummah follows in the footsteps of those who came before it, handspan by handspan, cubit by cubit.” It was asked, “O Messenger of Allaah, like the Persians and Romans?” He said, “Those are the people?”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6888)



The ignorant among this ummah, and the innovators and heretics have followed the previous nations, the Jews, Christians and Persians, in their beliefs, ways, manners and dress. Our concern here is to point out in these days their following and imitation of them through the innovation of “Mother’s Day” or “Family Day”, which is a day that the Christians innovated to honour mothers, or so they claim. This then became a day that was venerated, when government departments would be shut and people would get in touch with their mothers or send them gifts and loving messages. But when the day was over, things would go back to the way they were, with people being cut off from their mothers and disobeying them.



What is strange is that the Muslims would feel a need to imitate them in such ways, when Allaah has commanded them to honour their mothers and has forbidden them to disobey them, and has made the reward for that (for obeying them) the highest status.
Definition of the word ‘Eid

[as Mother’s Day is known in Arabic as “Eid al-umm” or “mothers’ festival”; the word Eid is derive from the root ‘aada/ya’ood meaning to come back or return]
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said:



“ ‘Eid (festival) is a name that is given to an occasion which returns, when people gather in a festive manner, whether that is annual or weekly or monthly and so on.”
(Iqtidaa’ al-Siraat al-Mustaqeem, 1/441).



Ibn ‘Aabideen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “ An ‘Eid is so called because Allaah repeatedly bestows blessings, i.e., kinds of blessings that come back to His slaves on these days, such as breaking the fast after refraining from eating, sadaqat al-fitr (obligatory charity paid at the end of Ramadaan), completing the Hajj by doing Tawaaf al-Ziyaarah, the sacrificial meats, and so on; and because the tradition on such occasions is to express joy and happiness, and to be energetic and happy.”
(Haashiyat Ibn ‘Aabideen, 2/165)
How many festivals are there in Islam?

well im againsttttttttttttt it .. honestly i believe the idea behind it is just lame... like to remember ur mother that day n be good to her... buy her gifts.. we muslims should take care of our mother every day not only that but be good to them forever n we dont need a special day to tell her that... how sad ... total waste of time.. peace

 

[BlissfullyJaded]

I know fully what it is, and I still think it's pointless. Sorry, but it just is. And my mother agrees. So no I don't get her cards...actually, I won't buy her cards ever, unless I'm sending home a postcard, cuz otherwise she'll get mad at me for wasting money. She'd rather I unload the dishwasher or somethin. And if I ever become a mother, I know would way prefer random times for my kids to do special stuff...that's a lot more of a cheer upper than to wait for a specific day out of the year and throw a hissy fit cuz I didn't get anything, or cuz I got stuff that's worthless. You can single out a day, just not the day they do it, cuz for them it's not just a random Sunday of a random month. It's always the second Sunday of May.

Ahhh, now I'm done here once and for all.

SubhanAllah.

Sometimes you want to correct a person, you would want to tell them something because they are you brother but you are too worried about how they would react, because you feel they will just scream shout and so forth.

Evidence has been giveen in this thread, I don't know what more someone needs. I start with something which I percieve as harmless and move further away.

Allah knows best.
