His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is thirty months.&#8221;\n\n<strong><i>Quran 46:15<\/i><\/strong>\n\nAnd your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], &#8220;uff,&#8221; and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word. And out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: \u2018My Lord! Bestow on them Thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood&#8217; &#8221;\n\n<strong><i>Quran 17:23<\/i><\/strong>\n\nThe Prophet Muhammad \ufdfa also returned a man wishing to engage in a military expedition to his mother, by stating that \u201cStay with her, because Paradise is at her feet\u201d.\n\n<strong><i>Musnad Imam Ahmad<\/i><\/strong>\n\nA man also came to the Prophet and said, \u2018O Messenger of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet said: Your mother. The man said, \u2018Then who?&#8217; The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man further asked, \u2018Then who?&#8217; The Prophet said: Then your mother. The man asked again, \u2018Then who?&#8217; The Prophet said: Then your father.\n\n<strong><i>Bukhari and Muslim<\/i><\/strong><\/blockquote>\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">May Allah bless all our mothers and grant them the Highest of Paradise.<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When was the last time you thanked your mother?
