− Woman as Mother In connection with respect, honor and status of woman as a mother, the Holy Prophet says: sa PBÈ¿ ÜA ÂAf³A OZM ÒÄV»A ê ä ì æ å ê ä æä ä æ ä å ì ä æä al jannatu tahta aqdamil ummahati ± − − Paradise lies under the feet of your mothers. (Nisa'i and Baihaqi) − − − The status described in the tradition of the Holy Prophet is a great sa credit for women. No religion other than Islam presents such a status for − women. There is not even a remote chance to reach to the nearness of these teachings of Islam. − The strain of caring for one's parents in their old age, the most difficult time of their lives, is considered an honor and blessing, and an opportunity for great spiritual growth. God asks that we not only pray for our parents, but act with limitless compassion, remembering that when we were helpless children they preferred us to themselves. Mothers are particularly honored. In Islam, serving one's parents is one of the greatest − duties. It is considered despicable to express any irritation when, through no fault of there own, old age becomes difficult for them.
