Rights Of Women- Islam raised the status of Women

Status of mother in Islam

Woman in the form of mother is the great personage whose presence brings about blessing, who is the beauty of home and peace of the home is established because of her. If she is seen with love, the reward of one accepted Hajj is obtained. Serving her brings about the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ without her, the home seems deserted. She has given birth to the great personages like blessed Ambiya عَلَیْہِمُ الصَّلَاۃُ وَالسَّلَام Companions رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُم and pious predecessors رَحمَہُمُ اللہُ الباری . There is no limit of the favours of mother; mother remains patient on difficulties; mother sacrifices her desires for the sake of her children’s desires; mother undergoes the hardship of giving upbringing to children, pregnancy, delivery, childbirth, breastfeeding and waking up at nights. Mother herself sleeps hungry, but does not let her children sleep hungry. In short, a mother bears everything for the sake of her child, but unfortunately in return she only gets pain and troubles. The rights of mother have been violated and injustice has been done to her in every phase of life especially in the old age. The kind of treatment she receives in the old age cannot even be imagined and makes our hair stand on end. So it is Islam which first of all talked about the status of women and told the whole world that mother is the respectable personage whose rights have to be fulfilled. The pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ is concealed in the pleasure of mother.
