The Devotion to our Mothers

image: AhmadiyyaTimes

In chapter The Women An-Nisa [4.1], Allah states, "And revere (and respect) the wombs (that bore you)" In Islam, pregnancy does not degrade a woman. On the contrary, it elevates the status of a woman.

In chapter The Wise (0r the person Luqman) - Luqman [31:14] - it is stated that "And We have commanded man (to be good) to his parents: In weakness and hardship his mother bore him, and in 2 years (after) was his weaning."

The Quran says in chapter The Winding Sand Tracts - Al-Ahqaf [46:15], "And We have commanded that it is essential for man to be kind to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth."

According to a Hadith mentioned in Sahih Bukhari, vol. no. 8, in the Book of Adab, chp 2, hadith no. 2: "A person came to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and asked him, 'Who is the person who deserves the maximum love & companionship in this world?' The Prophet replied, 'Your mother.' The man asked, 'Who next?' The Prophet said, 'Your mother.' The man asked, 'After that who?' The Prophet repeated for the the 3rd time, 'Your mother.' The man asked, 'After that who?' Then the prophet said, 'Your father.'"

So woe to those who disrespect the womb that bore them. For those who torment their parents, disavow and betray the woman who bore them and shelters them - they don`t realize the depth of conceit and transgression they dig for themselves!

Woe to them who had parents - whom have passed on from this world, and never got a chance to be loved or honored, for their descendants are the ultimate losers. Woe to those who are in the care of wet nurses, step mothers, guardians and family members and are betrayed willingly - for there is no bigger traitor than the traitor who leaves the battlefield!

  1. very interesting and true, every great culture even from the ancient times deified the mother and their status was always regarded on a higher plateau than others in society...but now as society drags on, the status of women are being degraded further and further into where they are treated as mere objects of pleasure...woman need to understand the power they have lost and should not commit to the brainwashing of society.

    Yea i checked out the verses u mentioned here in the Quran u gave me, i needed to read the 'tafsir' u gave me too and got a good understanding of the real status of women in ur religion islam, quite fascinating so far but more to read, it seems many just don`t know the truth since they don`t read at all.
