Quote :


And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years. Give thanks to Me and to your parents, unto Me is the final destination. [Noble Quran 31:14]



They carried us in their wombs for nine months, then endured the pain of labor, and then nurtured us and did everything for us when we were helpless babies and children; they bear the teenage years with patience and advice. We hope this compilation of ways on how to treat our mothers will put a smile on the faces of your mothers, and let them know we have not forgotten what they go through.



  • A smile with a warm embrace.
  • Saying thanks often.
  • An offer to wash up the dishes.
  • A cup of tea without her asking.
  • Recite her favorite Surah.
  • Tidy round after she goes to bed, so that when she wakes up the house is tidy.
  • Buy her little ornaments for round the house so when she sees them she remembers you.
  • Rub her feet (after all, that's where paradise is).
  • Phone your mum just to tell her you love her.
  • Buy her surprise gifts.
  • Go to her when she calls you.
  • Write a poem for her.
  • If you're on the phone, and your mother is asking something tell the person to wait.
  • Cook for her.
  • Let her teach you to cook even if you know, she will enjoy the fact that you're coming to her to ask.
  • Bring your wife to her to learn how to cook, she will enjoy teaching her your favorite recipes, and both of you praise her cooking.
  • Clean the house without your mum having to ask.
  • Tell her how happy you are that she is a part of your life and your own families.
  • Always take your mothers side in front of your wife and mother over differing opinions; you can appease your wife later on out of sight.
  • Give her money to treat herself.
  • Make breakfast for her.
  • Go to get the shopping for her.
  • If your mother likes to get the shopping, then be patient with her as she goes up and down the aisles.
  • Do your own washing and ironing.
  • Spread the salaam when you leave and return from the home.
  • Comb her hair.
  • Massage her shoulders.
  • Do well in school.
  • Pray all your prayers on time.
  • Help with your younger siblings so she can put her feet up.
  • Teach your younger siblings to also help around the house, a mother needs time for her Ibadah too; her Ibadah should not have to fit around housework all the time.
  • Look good and smell nice and be polite so that you're a good example of her upbringing.
  • Don't always have your mum waking you up for prayer; try to wake her up instead.

  • Take her out for drives in the car, especially if you live in the city take her to the countryside, go with the whole family and take a picnic.

  • Ask your mother about her youth, most mothers love recalling their past.
  • Be good to her relatives and her friends.
  • Name some of your children after her side of the family, as a lot of the time it's the dad who chooses her children's names.
