Not much to ask for is it?? We will only truly realise the value of our mothers when they are no longer with us – when they have passed away, but then it will be too late! So let us not adapt to the attitudes that we find our cultures sadly into, where mothers are nothing more than serving girls and the fathers are nothing more than errand boys... 

Did you know that disobeying parents leads to Punishments in the Grave?

The greatest sin after assosiating partners with Allah is disobedience. Need proof? Read the following Hadith:

Abu Bakr narrated that the Prophet(PBUH) asked that should he not warn them against the three major sins? All of them said, “Certainly, O Prophet!” He then said, “To ascribe partners with Allah, to disobey the parents.” Getting up. As he was reclining, he said, “To tell a lie or to give false evidence.” He went on repeating his words for such a long time that we wished him to be silent. (Bukhari and Muslim)

and...

 It is narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said, “Allah postpones the punishment for one’s sins till the Day of Judgment if He so desires. But He award the punishment for disobeying the parents during this life, before his death."

...meaning that the children who have been disobedient to his or her parents will be punished twice once in this life and a second time in the hereafter.

You've probably heard countless of times before about the following hadith:

A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Who is more entitled to be treated with the best companionship by me?” The Prophet (pbuh) said, “Your mother.” The man said. “Who is next?” The Prophet said, “Your mother.” The man further said, “Who is next?” The Prophet said, “Your mother.” The man asked for the fourth time, “Who is next?” The Prophet said, “Your father. ” (Bukhari)

 why is it that in Islam, it is emphasised on us to love and obey our mothers so much? I know what u may be thinking...

My mother is not a Prophet, nor is she an angel...she is just like a normal human like you and I...does she really deserve that much love??? Well guys...

Allah has given our mothers a high status in Islam, greater than found in any other religion or ideology which is one of the very few facts that makes our religion soo unique! which is why He says: "Paradise lies under the feet of your mother." Allah loves us and cares for us,especially those who love and care for others.likewise, he becomes very angry with those who hurt others in any way. He knows that in this world, no one is more loving and caring towards another person than the way a mother is to her child.

We should take extreme care of the sentiments, habits, temperament and likes and dislikes of mothers. We should not even imagine being rude and disobedient to her. By serving and obeying our mothers we can be sure of earning the favor of Almighty Allah.

Apart from Allah, no one knows what our mothers really does for us...
