Dear Muslims and non Muslims
Brothers and Siters, As-Salam Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatahu I want to
tell you today about the mother,s glory which is presented to her ALLAH (God).Pleace
read it carefully and advertise this message to the all human beings.To
day my message title is Mother,s glory according to Islam.
One day a man came to see the Prophet Muhammad , peace and blessings be upon
him. It seemed that he was trying to solve something but couldn't quite
work it out. So he asked the Prophet. ''Tell me, O Prophet!'' I have many
relatives and many friends whom I love, and whom I wish to care for and help.
But I often find it difficult to decide which of them has the greatest claim
upon me? Which of them should come first?'' The Prophet replied immediately,
''Your mother should come first and before all others.'' The man was very
pleased to have this clear guidance from the Prophet. But of course there were
all his other relatives and his friends, so he asked ''and after my mother, who
has the greatest claim upon me?'' The Prophet's reply this second time
surprised him. ''Your mother!'' he said again. The man wondered why the Prophet
was repeating himself. Perhaps he had not spoken clearly, the man thought, so he
asked the question again, ''What I want to know is, after my mother, who
has the greatest claim upon me? Again the Prophet said ''your mother!'' Your
mother, your mother, your mother!
The Prophet had now said it three times. Slowly, the man realized why he
had done so. ''The Prophet means that my mother is extremely important, so much
so that my duty to her must be stressed over and over again. Even so, the
man's thoughts ran on, ''what about all the others I love and wish to care
for?'' Still uncertain and wanting to know more, he once again turned to
the Prophet and said, ''and after my mother, who comes after her? Is there
anyone besides her?'' The Prophet then replied ''after your mother, your
father.'' ''And then?'' asked the man. ''Then people who are nearest to you,''
said the Prophet. ALLAH's peace and blessings be upon the Prophet.

The Great Mothers (in Urdu)
Why mother is so special:
When I came home in the rain, Brother asked why didn’t you take an umbrella.
Sister advised, Why didn't you wait till rain stopped. Father angrily warned,
only after getting cold, you will realize. But Mother, while drying my hair,
said, stupid rain! Couldn't it wait, till my child came home? That Is MOM !
If anyone favors his wife over his mother...!
At the time of the Prophet (saww), there was a young man named Alqamah. He
was very diligent in obeying ALLAH by engaging in prayer and fasting and
spending in charity. Then he fell ill and his illness became serious. His
wife went to the Prophet and said, "My husband, Alqamah, is on his deathbed. I
therefore came to tell you, Messenger of ALLAH, about his condition."
The Prophet (saww) sent for Ammar, Suhaib and Bilal, and told them to go to him
(Alqamah) and have him repeat the Shahadah. They went to him and found him in
the agony of death. They asked him to say, "La ilaha illa ALLAH," but his tongue
was unable to pronounce it. At that, they came and told the Messenger of
ALLAH that he was unable to repeat the Shahadah.
The Prophet asked, "Is either of his parents alive?" He was told,
"Messenger of ALLAH, his mother is, but she is very old." The Prophet sent
her a message that if it was convenient for her (if she was able to go out), she
should come to him; otherwise she should stay in her house and the Prophet would
come to her.
The Prophet's messenger came to her and informed her of the Prophet's
message. She said, "May my life be a ransom for him, it is my pleasure to
go to him!" She stood up, leaning on her walking stick, and came to the
Prophet and greeted him. The Prophet returned her greeting and said to
her, "Umm Alqamah, tell me the truth, for otherwise ALLAH Most High will reveal
the truth to me! What is the situation concerning your son, Alqamah?" She
replied, "Messenger of ALLAH, he prays much, fasts a great deal, and spends a
great amount in charity." The Prophet said, "And what about yourself?"
She said, "Messenger of ALLAH, I am angry with him." He said, "Why?"
She replied, "Messenger of ALLAH, he has preferred his wife to me and has
disobeyed me." ALLAH's Messenger said, "Umm Alqamah, surely your anger has
prevented Alqamah's tongue from pronouncing the Shahadah." He then turned
to Bilal and said, "Bilal, go out and collect a quantity of firewood."
She said, "Messenger of ALLAH, what do you plan to do?" He replied, "I
will burn him in front of your eyes." She said, "Messenger of ALLAH, he is
my son! My heart cannot bear your burning him in front of me!" He said, "Umm
Alqamah, ALLAH's punishment is more severe and more lasting! Therefore, if you
want ALLAH to forgive him, be reconciled to him. By the One in Whose Hand
is my soul, the prayer, fasting, and spending in charity (which he has done) are
of no benefit to Alqamah as long as you are angry with him!"
There upon she said, "Messenger of ALLAH, I call upon ALLAH Most High and
His angels and the Muslims who are present to be my witnesses that I am pleased
with my son Alqamah." ALLAH's Messenger said, "Bilal, go to him and see whether
he is now able to say, "La ilaha illa ALLAH" or not. It may be that Umm Alqamah
is saying something for my sake which is not in her heart." Bilal went,
and while entering the door he heard Alqamah saying, "La ilaha illa ALLAH."
Bilal remarked, "It is surely true that while Alqamah's mother was angry
with him his tongue was tied, and now that she is pleased with him his tongue is
freed."
Alqamah died the same day. The Prophet (saww) came to him and gave the
order for his washing and shrouding, and then prayed the funeral prayer
for him and buried him. He then stood by the side of his grave and said,
"You company of Muhajireen and Helpers, if anyone favors his wife over his
mother, ALLAH and His angels and all the people curse him! ALLAH does not
accept his spending (in charity) and his uprightness unless he repents toward
ALLAH, the Glorious and Majestic, and reconciles with her and attains her
pleasure, because ALLAH's pleasure consists in her pleasure and ALLAH's
anger consists in her anger."
We must always be respectful and obedient to our parents. However, we are not to
obey them if they order us to disobey ALLAH and His Prophet. Other than
this, they deserve our utmost attention and respect.
