Please be aware that the rights of mothers are more important than that of the father. An individual once asked the Holy prophet (S) “To whom should I be kindest? ” He replied: “Your mother. ” Then he asked: “After her, to whom” He again said: Your Mother”. The man asked the same question for the third time. The reply was the same, Your Mother”.

And he repeated his question for the fourth time, the Holy Prophet (S.) answered him “Your Mother.” [^1] Again a man asks the Holy Prophet (S.) about being kind to parents. In reply for three times, he said: “Your mother” : and only then he said “Your father.” [^2] Perhaps there are two reasons for this importance: (A) Motherly affection, and (B) Mother's influence on the child's character.

Perhaps there are two reasons for this importance: (A) Motherly affection, and (B) Mother's influence on the child's character. A. Motherly Affection It is the mother who suffers more pain in taking care and in protection of the child. She nourishes and brings up the child in her love filled lap until she delivers him to the society. One would be quite astounded to realize what a mother does for her child. Only then, one would agree that none would match a mother.

Not even an affectionate maid or babysitter. Suppose a maid or a babysitter is able to offer the services, they do so in return of a wage, not merely for the affection to the child.

Mother's Influence on the Child's Character The mother lays the basic foundation of the child's behavior and character. As through her mild she provides nourishment for the body, through her teachings, she strengthens his spirit.

Consequently, the child inherits his mother's mannerism, habits and other characters since early infancy and will keep them throughout his life. Finally, the child's happiness depends on the way he is reared by his mother.
