“And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them 'uff' a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour. And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: ‘My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small.’”_Qur’an 17:23-24

“And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years give thanks to Me (The Creator) and to your parents, unto Me (The Creator) is the final destination.”_Qur’an 31:14

Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] reinforced the duty to be kind to parents. A companion of the Prophet [pbuh] once asked him which of the many good deeds a man can do is the most loved by God (The Creator). Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] answered him by saying, “To offer the prayer in its proper time”. The companion then asked, “And what is next?” to which Prophet Muhammad [pbuh] replied, “To be good and dutiful to your parents…”_ Saheeh Al-Bukhari

A man came to the Prophet [pbuh] asking, ‘Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet [pbuh] said, your mother. The man said, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet [pbuh] said, then your mother. The man further asked, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet [pbuh] said, then your mother. The man asked again, ‘Then who?’ The Prophet [pbuh] replied, then your father._(Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Saheeh Muslim)

In the time of Prophet Muhammad [pbuh], a man asked permission to go on a military expedition. The Prophet asked the man if he had a mother, when he replied yes, Prophet Muhammad said, “Stay with her because Paradise lies beneath her feet”. _(Ahmad, Al-Nasai)

From only these two sayings of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), we are able to understand the importance of mothers in Islam. However, in these days of materialism it is easy to forget that God obligated us to honour our parents, especially our mothers. Sometimes we find ourselves uttering words of contempt or complaining about our parents. This sort of behaviour is not from the submission to the Creator alone in peace (‘Islam’).
