Apart from her role as a wife, the Muslim woman
has a very important role as mother. The status and value attached to
parents in the Muslim world is very high. A woman becomes complete when
she becomes a mother. Enjoying her power of creativity and grade of
superiority over man, she experiences those precious feelings and
senses, which nature gives only to woman. There is no doubt that as a
mother, she is superior to man and is the nucleus of her family!
Noble Qur'an says:
"And your Lord has commanded that you shall not serve (any) but Him,
and goodness to your parents. If either or both of them reach old age
with you, say not to them (so much as) "Ugh" nor chide them, and speak
to them a generous word. And make yourself submissively gentle to them
with compassion, and say: O my Lord! Have compassion on them, as they
brought me up (when I was) little." Noble Qur'an (17:23-24)
Again Noble Qur'an says:
And We have enjoined man in respect of his parents - his mother bears
him with faintings upon faintings and his weaning takes two years -
saying: Be grateful to Me and to both your parents; to Me is the
eventual coming. And if they contend with you that you should associate
with Me what you have no knowledge of, do not obey them, and keep
company with them in this world kindly, and follow the way of him who
turns to Me, then to Me is your return, then will I inform you of what
you did. Noble Qur'an (31:14-15)
